摘要:
射频低温开关是量子信息科学中用于样品校准和高通量测试的关键使能技术。传统上一直使用基于螺线管的开关[1,2],但目前正转向基于 MEMS(微机电系统)的开关,因为其功耗更低、尺寸更小,并且能够最大限度降低螺线管开关往往产生电流脉冲的风险——这类脉冲会毁坏昂贵的低温放大器,并可能对器件造成静电损伤。这些 MEMS 开关需要向控制线施加 90 伏信号,以确定开关状态。现有一些开关内置了基于 CMOS(互补金属氧化物半导体)的控制电子器件来驱动 90 V 电压,但这些器件在量子信息科学所使用的低温温度下无法工作。目前尚没有可直接控制这些开关的室温控制系统。本文介绍的仪器是一种用于低温 MEMS 开关网络的 19 英寸机架安装式控制器,它允许操作人员通过一排标识清晰的指示灯查看开关状态,并通过基于 LED 的指示板上的按钮手动改变状态,或者通过向 Arduino(一种可从多家供应商获得的开源微控制器平台)发送基于 Python 的串口命令自动改变状态。该设计也可以进行修改,以控制其他需要较大电压或电流才能切换的开关。
英文摘要:
Radio frequency cryogenic switches are a critical enabling technology for quantum information science for both calibration and high throughput testing of samples. Traditionally, solenoid-based switches have been used [1,2], but a transition is being made to MEMS-based (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) switches due to their lower power dissipation and smaller size, and to minimize the risk that solenoid switches tend to produce current pulses that destroy expensive cryogenic amplifiers and can cause electrostatic damage to devices. These MEMS switches require a 90-volt signal to be applied to the control lines to determine the state of the switches. Switches exist that have built-in CMOS-based (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) control electronics to drive the 90 V, but these do not work at the cryogenic temperatures used in quantum information science. There is no currently available room temperature control system with direct control of the switches. The instrument presented here is a 19-inch rack-mount controller for a cryogenic MEMS switch network that allows a human operator to see the state of the switch via a row of clearly marked indicator lights and to change the state manually via buttons on an LED-based indicator board or automatically via Python-based serial port commands to the Arduino, an open source microcontroller platform available from multiple vendors. The design can also be modified to control other switches that require either a large voltage or current to switch.
