Measurements of a Persistent-Current Qubit Driven by an On-Chip Radiation Source

Monolithic integration of control electronics with superconducting qubits will facilitate scalability of a superconducting quantum computer by reducing the room temperature electronics necessary for performing quantum state manipulation. We report the experimental results of the monolithic integration of an on-chip radiation source with a persistent-current (PC) qubit and dc SQUID measurement device. The devices were fabricated at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in a Nb/Al/AlOx/Nb trilayer process. The two PC qubit states were detected by measuring the switching current of an underdamped dc SQUID magnetometer inductively coupled to the qubit. The radiation source comprised an overdamped dc SQUID operating in the voltage state and inductively coupled to the qubit and measurement SQUID through a low-Q RLC filter. The oscillator was designed to have tunable amplitude and frequency to satisfy the requirements for coherent quantum manipulation of a superconducting PC qubit. We will discuss the measurements in the millikelvin regime and the effects of the oscillator noise on the state of the qubit.

Nonreciprocal Microwave Signal Processing with a Field-Programmable Josephson Amplifier

Florent Lecocq, Leonardo Ranzani, G. A. Peterson +4 more

The authors program a superconducting circuit $i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n$ $s\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}t\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}u$ to operate as a microwave circulator, or a directional amplifier. The compact lumped element can be directly integrated with other superconducting circuitry for nearly lossless routing and measurement of quantum microwave signals. This work combines advanced understanding of parametric-coupling physics with innovative design and engineering, for fundamental impact on quantum measurements plus direct technological impact on current efforts to build scalable, on-chip infrastructure for quantum computing.

Widely Tunable On-Chip Microwave Circulator for Superconducting Quantum Circuits

Benjamin J. Chapman, Eric I. Rosenthal, Joseph Kerckhoff +6 more

This thesis develops theory for and experimentally demonstrates a new way to break Lorentz reciprocity—the symmetry, in an electrical network, under exchange of source and detector. The approach is based on the sequential application of frequency conversion and delay; as frequency and time are Fourier duals, these operations do not generally commute. We apply this method in the construction of an on-chip superconducting microwave circulator, a critical component for the unidirectional routing of quantum information in superconducting networks. The device requires neither permanent magnets nor microwave control tones, allowing on-chip integration with other superconducting circuits without expensive control hardware. Isolation in the device exceeds 20 dB over a bandwidth of tens of MHz, and its insertion loss is small, reaching as low as 0.9 dB at select operation frequencies. Furthermore, the device is linear with respect to input power for signal powers up to many hundreds of fW (~103 circulating photons), and the direction of circulation can be dynamically reconfigured. We demonstrate its tunability with operation at a selection of frequencies between 4 and 6 GHz. Given the current status of quantum error-correction and architectures for quantum information processing with superconducting circuits, such scalable non-reciprocal devices will almost certainly be necessary for construction of a superconducting quantum computer intended to be more than a proof-of-principle.
