Always-on, highly efficient microwave photon detector based on a superconducting artificial molecule
Vyom Kulkarni, Mohammed Ali Aamir, Simon Sundelin +1
Efficient detection of single microwave photons is a key capability for emerging quantum technologies. Yet, it remains far less developed than its optical domain counterpart. Reali…
In situ calibration of microwave attenuation and gain using a cryogenic on-chip attenuator
Thomas Descamps, Linus Andersson, Vittorio Buccheri +3
Accurate in situ calibration of microwave attenuation and amplification-chain noise is essential for superconducting quantum circuits. We demonstrate a compact, self-calibrating cr…
Real-time detection of correlated quasiparticle tunneling events in a multi-qubit superconducting device
Simon Sundelin, Linus Andersson, Hampus Brunander +1
Quasiparticle tunneling events are a source of decoherence and correlated errors in superconducting circuits. Understanding and ultimately mitigating these errors calls for real-ti…
Precision is not limited by the second law of thermodynamics
Florian Meier, Yuri Minoguchi, Simon Sundelin +4
Physical devices operating out of equilibrium are inherently affected by thermal fluctuations, limiting their operational precision. This issue is pronounced at microscopic and esp…
Quantum refrigeration powered by noise in a superconducting circuit
Simon Sundelin, Mohammed Ali Aamir, Vyom Manish Kulkarni +2
While dephasing noise frequently presents obstacles for quantum devices, it can become an asset in the context of a Brownian-type quantum refrigerator. Here we demonstrate a novel…
