    摘要: A superconducting quantum mechanical device includes first, second, third and fourth Josephson junctions connected in a bridge circuit having first, second and third resonance eigenmodes. The device also includes first and second capacitor pads. The first and second capacitor pads and the bridge circuit form a superconducting qubit having a resonance frequency corresponding to the first resonance eigenmode. The device further includes first and second resonator sections. The first and second resonator sections and the bridge circuit form a resonator having a resonance frequency corresponding to the second resonance eigenmode. The device also includes a source of magnetic flux arranged proximate the bridge circuit. The source of magnetic flux is configured to provide, during operation, a magnetic flux through the bridge circuit to cause coupling between the first, second and third resonance eigenmodes when the third resonance eigenmode is excited.

    摘要: A technique relates to a pulse shaping of microwave signals. A nondegenerate mixing device receives signals and a time-varying magnetic flux via input ports. The nondegenerate mixing device uses the signals and the time-varying magnetic flux to generate an output signal on an output port, the output signal having a waveform profile set by the time-varying magnetic flux.

    摘要: A hybrid microwave attenuator is constructed by forming a circuit and a housing. The circuit has two ports, a resistive component configured to attenuate some frequencies in an input signal (transmitted signal), and a dispersive component configured to attenuate some frequencies within a frequency range. The resistive component and the dispersive component are arranged in a series configuration relative to one another between the two ports of the circuit. The housing includes a closable structure in which the circuit is positioned, the structure being formed of a material that exhibits at least a threshold level of thermal conductivity, where the threshold level of thermal conductivity is achieved at a cryogenic temperature range in which a quantum computing circuit operates. The housing further includes a pair of microwave connectors, the pair of connectors being thermally coupled to the housing.

    摘要: Techniques that facilitate a measurement scheme for superconducting qubits using low-frequency microwave signals within a dilution refrigerator are provided. In one example, a cryogenic microwave system for measuring superconducting qubits using microwave signals includes a dilution refrigerator system for a quantum processor. The dilution refrigerator system converts a microwave signal associated with qubit information into a reduced-frequency microwave signal based on a Josephson-mixer circuit located within the dilution refrigerator system. The reduced-frequency microwave signal includes a frequency below a qubit frequency and a readout resonator frequency associated with the quantum processor.
