Characterization of broadband Purcell filters with compact footprint for fast multiplexed superconducting qubit readout

Seong Hyeon Park, Gahyun Choi, Gyunghun Kim +6 more

Engineering the admittance of external environments connected to superconducting qubits is essential, as increasing the measurement speed introduces spontaneous emission loss to superconducting qubits, known as Purcell loss. Here, we report a broadband Purcell filter within a small footprint, which effectively suppresses Purcell loss without losing the fast measurement speed. We characterize the filter's frequency response at 4.3 K and also estimate Purcell loss suppression by finite-element-method simulations of superconducting planar circuit layouts with the proposed filter design. The filter is fabricated with 200 nm-thick niobium films and shows the measured bandwidth over 790 MHz within 0.29 mm2 of compact size owing to densely packed spiral resonators. The estimated lifetime enhancement indicates the effective protection of the qubit from Purcell loss. The presented filter design is expected to be easily integrated on existing superconducting quantum circuits for fast and multiplexed readout without occupying large footprint.

Time-division superconducting quantum interference device multiplexer for transition-edge sensors

Piet A. J. de Korte, Joern Beyer, Steven W. Deiker +7 more

We report on the design and performance of our second-generation 32-channel time-division multiplexer developed for the readout of large-format arrays of superconducting transition-edge sensors. We present design issues and measurement results on its gain, bandwidth, noise, and cross talk. In particular, we discuss noise performance at low frequency, important for long uninterrupted submillimeter/far-infrared observations, and present a scheme for mitigation of low-frequency noise. Also, results are presented on the decoupling of the input circuit from the first-stage feedback signal by means of a balanced superconducting quantum interference device pair. Finally, the first results of multiplexing several input channels in a switched, digital flux-lock loop are shown.

A Compact Broadband Purcell Filter for Superconducting Quantum Circuits in a 3D Flip-Chip Architecture

Zhen Luo, Lea Richard, Ivan Tsitsilin +4 more

Fast and high-fidelity qubit readout requires strong coupling between the readout resonator and the feedline. However, such coupling unavoidably enhances qubit decay through the Purcell effect. We present a four-pole broadband Purcell filter implemented on a 3D flip-chip platform to overcome this trade-off. The filter provides a flat 1 GHz passband centered at 7.68 GHz and achieves more than 45 dB suppression at typical qubit frequencies. We demonstrate the filter's compatibility with multiplexed readout using a test chip that integrates six floating readout resonators strongly coupled within the passband. The chip is fabricated using a 150 nm Niobium (Nb) thin-film process and characterized at 20 mK in a cryogenic measurement setup. We also develop an analytical model that accurately captures the filter response and determines the resonance frequencies and external quality factors of the floating resonators directly from their physical geometry, enabling rapid circuit synthesis and design optimization. The proposed design is compact and fabrication-tolerant, making it a practical solution for large-scale superconducting quantum processors.
