基于耦合非对称SQUID链的行波参量放大器

Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier based on a chain of Coupled Asymmetric SQUIDs

M. T. Bell, A. Samolov

摘要:

提出了一种由耦合的非对称超导量子干涉器件链构成的传输线构成的行波参量放大器。这种传输线的独特性质是其非线性可以用外部磁通量来调谐,甚至可以改变符号。传输线的这一特征可用于在简并四波混频过程中执行相位匹配,该过程可用于在存在强泵浦的情况下对弱信号进行参量放大。TWPA设计的数值模拟已经表明,通过调谐,可以实现相位匹配,并且可以实现作为传输线长度的函数的指数增益。所提出的设计的灵活性可以实现:紧凑的TWPA小于211个单元,信号增益大于20 dB,3 dB带宽大于5.4 GHz,饱和功率高达-98 dBm。这种放大器设计非常适合于量子线路或天文探测器的多路复用读出,其紧凑的配置可以促进片上实现。

英文摘要:

A traveling wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) composed of a transmission line made up of a chain of coupled asymmetric superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) is proposed. The unique nature of this transmission line is that its nonlinearity can be tuned with an external magnetic flux and can even change sign. This feature of the transmission line can be used to perform phase matching in a degenerate four-wave mixing process which can be utilized for parametric amplification of a weak signal in the presence of a strong pump. Numerical simulations of the TWPA design have shown that with tuning, phase matching can be achieved and an exponential gain as a function of the transmission line length can be realized. The flexibility of the proposed design can realize: compact TWPAs with less than 211 unit cells, signal gains greater than 20 dB, 3 dB bandwidth greater than 5.4 GHz, and saturation powers up to -98 dBm. This amplifier design is well suited for multiplexed readout of quantum circuits or astronomical detectors in a compact configuration which can foster on-chip implementations.
