Controllable microwave frequency comb generation in a tunable superconducting coplanar-waveguide resonator*

Shuai-Peng Wang, Zhen Chen, Tiefu Li

Frequency combs are useful in a wide range of applications, such as optical metrology and high-precision spectroscopy. We experimentally study a controllable frequency comb generated in a tunable superconducting coplanar-waveguide resonator in the microwave regime. A two-tone drive is applied on one of the resonance modes of the resonator and comb generation is observed around the resonance frequency of the resonator. Both central frequency and teeth density of the comb are precisely controllable, and the teeth spacing can be adjusted from Hz to MHz. Moreover, we show that a few hundreds of sidebands can be generated using a sufficiently strong drive power and the weakest drive power needed to generate the comb can be reduced to approach the quantum limit. These experimental results can be qualitatively explained via theoretical analysis.

Tunable superconducting resonators via on-chip control of local magnetic field

Chen-Guang 晨光 Wang 王, Wen-Cheng 文诚 Yue 岳, Xuecou Tu +13 more

Superconducting microwave resonators play a pivotal role in superconducting quantum circuits. The ability to fine-tune their resonant frequencies provides enhanced control and flexibility. Here, we introduce a frequency-tunable superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator. By applying electrical currents through specifically designed ground wires, we achieve the generation and control of a localized magnetic field on the central line of the resonator, enabling continuous tuning of its resonant frequency. We demonstrate a frequency tuning range of 54.85 MHz in a 6.21-GHz resonator. This integrated and tunable resonator holds great potential as a dynamically tunable filter and as a key component of communication buses and memory elements in superconducting quantum computing.

Multiplexed microwave resonators by frequency comb spectroscopy

Coplanar waveguide resonators are central to the thriving field of circuit quantum electrodynamics. Recently, we have demonstrated the generation of a broadband microwave-frequency comb spectrum using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) driven by a time-dependent magnetic field. Here, the frequency comb is used to spectroscopically probe a bank of coplanar microwave resonators, inductively coupled to a common transmission line, a standard circuit with a variety of applications. We compare the resonator line shape obtained from signals synthesized at room temperature using conventional electronics with the radiation produced in the cryogenic environment by our source, showing substantial equivalence in the estimation of the resonator quality factors. To measure non-uniformly spaced resonant frequencies, we drive the generator with a bi-chromatic tone to generate intermodulation products. Such a dense frequency comb spectrum enables simultaneous addressing of a few resonators via frequency multiplexing. Finally, we discuss the criteria for achieving effective spectroscopic coverage of a given frequency bandwidth.
