A technique relates to operating a multimode Josephson parametric converter as a multimode quantum limited amplifier. The multimode Josephson parametric converter receives multiple quantum signals in parallel at different resonance frequencies. The multimode Josephson parametric converter amplifies simultaneously the multiple quantum signals, according to pump signals applied to the multimode Josephson parametric converter. The multiple quantum signals having been amplified at the different resonance frequencies are reflected, according to the pump signals.

An on-chip Josephson parametric converter is provided. The on-chip Josephson parametric converter includes a Josephson ring modulator. The on-chip Josephson parametric converter further includes a lossless power divider, coupled to the Josephson ring modulator, having a single input port and two output ports for receiving a pump drive signal via the single input port, splitting the pump drive signal symmetrically into two signals that are equal in amplitude and phase, and outputting each of the two signals from a respective one of the two output ports. The pump drive signal excites a common mode of the on-chip Josephson parametric converter.

The present invention provides a method and device for determining the sideband ratio of a superconducting mixer using a comb generator. The method includes the steps of: (a) tentatively adjusting the sideband ratio of a mixer for calibration of an output of the comb generator; (b) determining the signal intensity of a pseudo-celestial signal oscillator for calibration of the output of the comb generator; (c) repeating the steps (a) and (b) to derive the relation between the sideband radio of the mixer for the comb-generator output calibration and the intensity of a pseudo-celestial signal; (d) calibrating the output of the comb generator; and (e) obtaining the sideband ratio of the mixer to be measured.

In a superconductor mixer, a non-linear element is provided on a substrate. The non-linear element comprises at least one Josephson junction connected in series. An antenna pattern of superconductor, an intermediate frequency output pattern of superconductor, and a bias current pattern of superconductor are connected to the non-linear element. A signal high frequency wave (RF) and a local reference frequency wave (LO) are received by the antenna pattern and then absorbed in the non-linear element to obtain an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. Then, with applying a current to the series connected Josephson junction in the non-linear element from the bias current pattern, the intermediate frequency (IF) signal as a frequency signal of a difference between the signal high frequency wave (RF) and the local reference frequency wave (LO) is output to the intermediate frequency output pattern. At this time, by varying the current supplied from the bias current pattern, a phase of the output intermediate frequency (IF) signal is varied.
