    Abstract: Technologies for a high-voltage transmission gate are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a companion chip is connected to a quantum processor. The companion chip provides voltages to gates of qubits on the quantum processor. The companion chip includes one or more high-voltage transmission gates that can be used to charge capacitors linked to gates of qubits on the quantum processor. The transmission gate includes transistors with a breakdown voltage less than a range of input and output voltages of the transmission gate. Control circuitry on the companion chip controls the voltages applied to transistors of the transmission gate to ensure that the voltage differences across the terminals of each transistor is below a breakdown voltage.

    Abstract: Millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-mmWave technology, apparatuses, and methods that relate to transceivers and receivers for wireless communications are described. The various aspects include an apparatus of a communication device including one or more antennas configured to receive an RF signal and an ADC system. The ADC system includes a 1-bit ADC configured to receive the RF signal, and an ADC controller circuitry configured to measure a number of positive samples in the received RF signal for a plurality of thresholds of the 1-bit ADC, estimate receive signal power associated with the received RF signal based on the measured number of positive samples, determine a direct current(DC) offset in the received RF signal using the estimated received signal power, and adjust the received RF signal based on the determined DC offset.

    Abstract: Quantum circuit assemblies that employ active pulse shaping in order to be able to control states of a plurality of qubits with signal pulses propagated over a shared signal propagation channel are disclosed. An example quantum circuit assembly includes a quantum circuit component that includes a first qubit, associated with a first frequency to control the state of the first qubit, and a second qubit, associated with a second frequency to control the state of the second qubit. A shared transmission channel is coupled to the first and second qubits. The assembly further includes a signal pulse generation circuit, configured to generate a signal pulse to be propagated over the shared transmission channel to control the state of the first qubit, where the signal pulse has a center frequency at the first frequency, a bandwidth that includes the second frequency, and a notch at the second frequency.

    Abstract: A biasing scheme for a frequency multiplication circuit, and transceiver using LO signals provided by the frequency multiplication circuit are described. A frequency doubler is cascaded with a mixer to provide a mm-wave oscillator signal. The combination provides a frequency triple that of the LO frequency supplied to the frequency doubler from a PLL. A small-sized replica of the frequency doubler is used to determine biasing of transconductance devices of the frequency doubler. A voltage output of the replica is amplified and the difference between the output and a reference voltage is supplied as feedback to the control terminal of the transconductance devices to bias the transconductance devices to near threshold. The biasing is replicated at the frequency doubler to compensate for PVT variations. A PTAT current source tied to the output of the replica regulates an average output current of the frequency multiplication circuit.

    Abstract: A transmit receive switch (TRSW) system is disclosed. The system has a transmission line, a transformer based matching network, a shunt switch, an amplifier and circuitry. The transmission line is connected to an antenna port. The transformer based matching network is connected to the transmission line and has a first coil and a second coil, wherein the second coil is connected to the transmission line. The amplifier can be configured as a shunt switch when inactive. The shunt switch, including the amplifier configured as the shunt switch, can be connected to the first coil of the transformer based matching network. The circuitry is configured to cause the shunt switch to be ON during an inactive mode and create a short across the first coil. Combined, the length of transmission line needed to complete the impedance transformation is reduced, thereby lowering the overall insertion loss of the transmit/receive switch.
