Fast tunable high Q-factor superconducting microwave resonators

Abstract

We present fast tunable superconducting microwave resonators fabricated from planar NbN on a sapphire substrate. The $3\lambda /4$ wavelength resonators are tuning fork shaped and tuned by passing a dc current which controls the kinetic inductance of the tuning fork prongs. The $\lambda /4$ section from the open end operates as an integrated impedance converter which creates a nearly perfect short for microwave currents at the dc terminal coupling points, thus preventing microwave energy leakage through the dc lines. We measure an internal quality factor $Q_{\mathrm{int}}>10{}^5$ over the entire tuning range. We demonstrate a tuning range of $>3\%$ and tuning response times as short as 20 ns for the maximum achievable detuning. Due to the quasi-fractal design, the resonators are resilient to magnetic fields of up to 0.5 T.
