Probing the memory of a superconducting qubit environment
Nicolas Gosling, Denis Bénâtre, Nicolas Zapata +8
Achieving fault tolerance with superconducting quantum processors requires qubits to operate within the regime of threshold theorems based on the Born-Markov approximation. This ap…
Double-Pumped Kerr Parametric Amplifier Beyond the Gain-Bandwidth Limit
Nicolas Zapata, Najmeh Etehadi Abari, Mitchell Field +5
Superconducting standingwave parametric amplifiers are crucial for the readout of microwave quantum devices. Despite significant improvements in recent years, the need to operat…
Quantum Coherence in Superconducting Vortex States
Ameya Nambisan, Simon Günzler, Dennis Rieger +13
Abrikosov vortices, where the superconducting gap is completely suppressed in the core, are dissipative, semi-classical entities that impact applications from high-current-density…
On-chip stencil lithography for superconducting qubits
Roudy Hanna, Sören Ihssen, Simon Geisert +22
Improvements in circuit design and more recently in materials and surface cleaning have contributed to a rapid development of coherent superconducting qubits. However, organic resi…
Granular Aluminum Parametric Amplifier for Low-Noise Measurements in Tesla Fields
Nicolas Zapata, Ivan Takmakov, Simon Günzler +8
Josephson junction parametric amplifiers have become essential tools for microwave quantum circuit readout with minimal added noise. Even after improving at an impressive rate in t…
