چکیده

In this work we introduce a system for 2-port microwave calibration at millikelvin temperatures operating at the coldest stage of a dilution refrigerator by use of an adapted thru-reflect-line algorithm. We show that this can be an effective tool for characterizing common 50 Ω microwave components with better than 0.1 dB accuracy at temperatures that are relevant to many current experiments in superconducting quantum information.

Microwave-induced cooling of a superconducting qubit.

We demonstrated microwave-induced cooling in a superconducting flux qubit. The thermal population in the first-excited state of the qubit is driven to a higher-excited state by way of a sideband transition. Subsequent relaxation into the ground state results in cooling. Effective temperatures as low as approximately 3 millikelvin are achieved for bath temperatures of 30 to 400 millikelvin, a co...

Method for measuring noise parameters of microwave two-port - Electronics Letters

Introduction; The measurement of the four noise parameters ("s) NPs of a two-port in the microwave frequency range is usually performed by measuring the two-port device noise figure F for a minimum of four source reflection-coefficients r,, produced with a tuner connected at the two-port input (reflection-type tuner) [I ~ 61. The equation relating F and rs, ( i = 1, ..., N) is expressed in line...

Enhanced Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ Intrinsic Josephson Junction Stacks

We have investigated macroscopic quantum tunneling in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ intrinsic Josephson junctions at millikelvin temperatures using microwave irradiation. Measurements show that the escape rate for uniformly switching stacks of N junctions is about N times higher than that of a single junction having the same plasma frequency. We argue that this gigantic enhancement of macroscopic quantum tun...

Development of a Symmetric Ring Junction as Four-Port Reflectometer for Complex Reflection Coefficient Measurements

Six-port reflectometer is well-known for its ability to measure magnitude and phase-shift of microwave signal using four power detectors that perform magnitudeonly measurements. This paper presents the development of an innovative symmetric ring junction as four-port reflectometer for complex reflection coefficient measurements. It reduces the number of required detectors to two. Design optimiz...
