Performance of a Kinetic-Inductance Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifier at 4 Kelvin: Toward an Alternative to Semiconductor Amplifiers
M. Malnou, J. Aumentado, M. R. Vissers +4
Most microwave readout architectures in quantum computing or sensing rely on a semiconductor amplifier at 4 K, typically a high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT). Despite its rem…
A quantum-enhanced search for dark matter axions
K. M. Backes, D. A. Palken, S. Al Kenany +21
In dark matter axion searches, quantum uncertainty manifests as a fundamental noise source, limiting the measurement of the quadrature observables used for detection. We use vacuum…
Efficient and Low-Backaction Quantum Measurement Using a Chip-Scale Detector
Eric I. Rosenthal, Christian M. F. Schneider, Maxime Malnou +13
Superconducting qubits are a leading platform for scalable quantum computing and quantum error correction. One feature of this platform is the ability to perform projective measure…
A three-wave mixing kinetic inductance traveling-wave amplifier with near-quantum-limited noise performance
M. Malnou, M. R. Vissers, J. D. Wheeler +4
We present a theoretical model and experimental characterization of a microwave kinetic inductance traveling-wave amplifier (KIT), whose noise performance, measured by a shot-noise…
Squeezed vacuum used to accelerate the search for a weak classical signal
M. Malnou, D. A. Palken, B. M. Brubaker +3
Many experiments that interrogate fundamental theories require detectors whose sensitivities are limited by the laws of quantum mechanics. In cavity-based searches for axionic dark…
