Code-division SQUID multiplexing

Multiplexed superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) readout systems are critical for measuring large arrays of superconducting transition-edge sensors (TES). We demonstrate a code-division SQUID multiplexing (CDM) architecture that is modulated by Walsh codes. Measurements and simulations of a prototype multiplexer show that this modulation scheme is not degraded by SQUID-noise aliasing, suppresses parasitic pickup, and has low levels of crosstalk. These properties enable this architecture to scale to large TES arrays. Furthermore, CDM modulation suppresses the 1/f knee in the noise to below 20 mHz, suggesting the use of this circuit for low-frequency-noise mitigation in more general SQUID applications.

An impedance-modulated code-division microwave SQUID multiplexer

Cyndia Yu, A. Ames, Saptarshi Chaudhuri +5 more

Abstract Large arrays of cryogenic detectors, including transition-edge sensors (TESs) or magnetic micro-calorimeters (MMCs), are needed for future experiments across a wide range of applications. Complexities in integration and cryogenic wiring have driven efforts to develop cryogenic readout technologies with large multiplexing factors while maintaining minimal readout noise. One such example is the microwave SQUID multiplexer ( μ mux), which couples an incoming TES or magnetic calorimeter signal to a unique GHz-frequency resonance that is modulated in frequency. Here, we present a hybrid scheme combining the microwave SQUID multiplexer with code division multiplexing: the impedance-modulated code-division multiplexer (Z-CDM), which may enable an order of magnitude increase in multiplexing factor particularly for low-bandwidth signal applications.
