Characterization and benchmarking of a phase-sensitive two-qubit gate using direct digital synthesis

Mats O. Tholén, Riccardo Borgani, Christian Križan +2

We implement an iSWAP gate with two transmon qubits using a flux-tunable coupler. Precise control of the relative phase of the qubit-control pulses and the parametric-coupler drive…

Measurement and control of a superconducting quantum processor with a fully-integrated radio-frequency system on a chip

Mats O. Tholén, Riccardo Borgani, Giuseppe Ruggero Di Carlo +8

We describe a digital microwave platform called Presto, designed for measurement and control of multiple quantum bits (qubits) and based on the third-generation radio-frequency sys…

Intermodulation spectroscopy as an alternative to pump-probe for the measurement of fast dynamics at the nanometer scale

Riccardo Borgani, David B. Haviland

We present an alternative approach to pump-probe spectroscopy for measuring fast charge dynamics with an atomic force microscope (AFM). Our approach is based on coherent multifrequ…

Calibrating torsional eigenmodes of micro cantilevers for dynamic measurement of frictional forces

Per-Anders Thorén, Riccardo Borgani, Daniel Forchheimer +1

Non-invasive thermal noise calibration of both torsional and flexural eigenmodes is performed on numerous cantilevers of 10 different types. We show that for all tipless and short-…

Background force compensation in dynamic atomic force microscopy

Riccardo Borgani, Per-Anders Thorén, Daniel Forchheimer +4

Background forces are linear long-range interactions of the cantilever body with its surroundings that must be compensated for in order to reveal tip-surface force, the quantity of…
