Programmable CMOS DAC Operating in Cryogenic Environments for Controlling Superconducting Qubits

A. Pelteku, D. Reitz, M. Covington +15 more

This paper presents the design and test results of a CMOS current-based Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) that operates at cryogenic temperatures and that can be used to precisely control the amount of flux coupled to qubits or that can be used in the readout of superconducting circuits. The current pulse output can be controlled in terms of its amplitude, rise and fall slopes, via digital controls, and pulse width, via external triggers, while driving a superconducting circuit. The design has been implemented in a planar 90 nm CMOS process and test results closely match circuit predictions. The solution's wide degree of digital tunability affords potential application of the same device to many types of quantum circuits, beyond those discussed here. Due to the wide-ranging flexibility of digital CMOS control, we envision that this DAC design will enable the next generation of high-fidelity cryo-CMOS control architectures for superconducting qubits.This paper presents the design and test results of a CMOS current-based Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) that operates at cryogenic temperatures and that can be used to precisely control the amount of flux coupled to qubits or that can be used in the readout of superconducting circuits.

Engineering cryogenic setups for 100-qubit scale superconducting circuit systems

Sebastian Krinner, Simon Storz, Philipp Kurpiers +6 more

A robust cryogenic infrastructure in form of a wired, thermally optimized dilution refrigerator is essential for solid-state based quantum processors. Here, we engineer a cryogenic setup, which minimizes passive and active heat loads, while guaranteeing rapid qubit control and readout. We review design criteria for qubit drive lines, flux lines, and output lines used in typical experiments with superconducting circuits and describe each type of line in detail. The passive heat load of stainless steel and NbTi coaxial cables and the active load due to signal dissipation are measured, validating our robust and extensible concept for thermal anchoring of attenuators, cables, and other microwave components. Our results are important for managing the heat budget of future large-scale quantum computers based on superconducting circuits.A robust cryogenic infrastructure in form of a wired, thermally optimized dilution refrigerator is essential for solid-state based quantum processors.

Superconducting sampling measurement system for characterization of electronic packaging

Masahiro Aoyagi, Hiroshi Sato, Hiroshi Nakagawa +2 more

A superconducting sampling measurement system is a highly useful tool for analyzing ultrahigh speed electrical signals in cryogenic environments, due to a time resolution at ps levels with low current levels of /spl mu/A. The digitizing sampling system is composed of a Josephson sampling circuit, digital delay line, feedback signal detection circuit and a computer. The Josephson sampling circuit is designed for ETL's Nb-AlO/sub x/-Nb junction technology. A TDR measurement method using a CPW flip-chip bonding technique is proposed. The theoretical spatial resolution is estimated to reach around a hundred /spl mu/m.A superconducting sampling measurement system is a highly useful tool for analyzing ultrahigh speed electrical signals in cryogenic environments, due to a time resolution at ps levels with low current levels of /spl mu/A.
