An rf Quantum Capacitance Parametric Amplifier

We demonstrate a radio-frequency parametric amplifier that exploits the gate-tunable quantum capacitance of an ultra high mobility two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs heterostructure at cryogenic temperatures. The prototype narrowband amplifier exhibits a gain greater than 20 dB up to an input power of - 66 dBm (1 dB compression), and a noise temperature TN of 1.3 K at 370 MHz. In contrast to superconducting amplifiers, the quantum capacitance parametric amplifier (QCPA) is operable at tesla-scale magnetic fields and temperatures ranging from milli kelvin to a few kelvin. These attributes, together with its low power (microwatt) operation when compared to conventional transistor amplifiers, suggest the QCPA may find utility in enabling on-chip integrated readout circuits for semiconductor qubits or in the context of space transceivers and radio astronomy instruments.

Superconducting parametric amplifiers: The next big thing in (Sub)millimeter-wave receivers

We are developing a new superconducting amplifier technology for radio astronomy instruments called the Traveling-Wave Kinetic Inductance Parametric (TKIP) amplifier. Invented at Caltech/JPL, recent laboratory demonstrations have resulted in near quantum-limited noise performance over more than an octave of microwave bandwidth and operating temperatures as high as 3 Kelvin. These amplifiers have the potential to be used as front-end replacements for ALMA's mm/sub-mm SIS receivers and intermediate frequency (IF) amplifiers, and for multiplexing faint signals from focal-plane arrays of single-photon detectors on space telescopes such as NASA's Origins Space Telescope (OST). The enhanced observational capabilities that would be enabled by TKIP front-end amplifiers on ALMA would tremendously benefit ALMA science across all bands.
