Fast optical data transfer into a Josephson junction array

K. Kohopää, J. Nissilä, E. Mykkänen +19

We employ externally shunted Nb-AlO-Nb Josephson junctions for demonstrating a circuit that is suitable for an optically driven Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (JAWS).…

Native-oxide-passivated trilayer junctions for superconducting qubits

Pankaj Sethi, Om Prakash, Jukka-Pekka Kaikkonen +15

Superconducting qubits in today's quantum processing units are typically fabricated with angle-evaporated aluminum--aluminum-oxide--aluminum Josephson junctions. However, there is…

Equivalence of flexible stripline and coaxial cables for superconducting qubit control and readout pulses

V. Y. Monarkha, S. Simbierowicz, M. Borrelli +11

We report a comparative study on microwave control lines for a transmon qubit using: (i) flexible stripline transmission lines, and (ii) semi-rigid coaxial cables. During each expe…

Electrostatic control of quasiparticle poisoning in a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor island

H. Q. Nguyen, D. Sabonis, D. Razmadze +8

The performance of superconducting devices is often degraded by the uncontrolled appearance and disappearance of quasiparticles, a process known as poisoning. We demonstrate electr…

Local and non-local two-electron tunneling processes in a Cooper pair splitter

Antti Ranni, Elsa T. Mannila, Axel Eriksson +3

We measure the tunneling rates and coupling coefficients for local Andreev, non-local Andreev and elastic cotunneling processes. The non-local Andreev process, giving rise to Coope…

A self-calibrating superconducting pair-breaking detector

E. T. Mannila, V. F. Maisi, J. P. Pekola

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a self-calibrating detector of Cooper pair depairing in a superconductor based on a mesoscopic superconducting island coupled to normal me…

Optimal probabilistic work extraction beyond the free energy difference with a single-electron device

Olivier Maillet, Paolo A. Erdman, Vasco Cavina +8

We experimentally realize protocols that allow to extract work beyond the free energy difference from a single electron transistor at the single thermodynamic trajectory level. Wit…

Detecting parity effect in a superconducting device in the presence of parity switches

E. T. Mannila, V. F. Maisi, H. Q. Nguyen +2

We present a superconducting device showing a clear parity effect in the number of electrons, even when there is, on average, a single nonequilibrium quasiparticle present and the…

Determining the parameters of a random telegraph signal by digital low pass filtering

Shilpi Singh, Elsa T. Mannila, Dmitry S. Golubev +2

We propose a method to determine the switching rates of a random telegraph signal. We apply digital low pass filtering with varying bandwidth to the raw signal, evaluate the cumula…
