Quantum limited amplifiers are sought after for a wide range of applications within quantum technologies and sensing. One promising candidate is the travelling wave parametric amplifier which exploits the non-linear kinetic inductance of a superconducting transmission line. This type of microwave amplifier promises to deliver a high gain, a quantum limited noise performance over several GHz ban...

We report on the use of a kinetic-inductance traveling-wave parametric amplifier (KITWPA) as first in readout chain microwave superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) multiplexer (umux). This umux is designed to multiplex signals from arrays low temperature detectors such transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters. When modulated with periodic flux-ramp linearize SQUID response, flux n...

We propose a realistic scheme of generating a traveling odd Schrödinger cat state and a generalized entangled coherent state in circuit quantum electrodynamics (circuit-QED). A squeezed vacuum state is used as the initial resource of nonclassical states, which can be created through a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier, and travels through a transmission line. Because a single-photon...

Nowadays, piezoelectric materials have wide applications in various industries. Therefore, investigation of these materials and their applications has a special importance. In this paper first, the natural frequencies of a traveling-wave piezoelectric motor are achieved, using finite elements simulations. Then, applying an alternative electrical voltage to the piezoelectric ring, a traveling wa...

High-power microwave amplifier operation has been studied for use in a number of applications. The performance of the amplifiers has been marred, in some cases, by pulse shortening of the microwave signal. A possible source of the shortening is the loss of the beam due to hybrid HEM11 mode interaction with the beam. In this paper, we describe experiments which investigate high-power operation a...

The purpose of this report is to place in proper perspective the role that the modern semiconductor diode lownoise amplifier and converter have in the amplification of extremely small signals. There is a discussion of the fundamental principles of parametric amplification, and a quantitive treatment which is valid in the limit of very high Q diodes. Design formulas from the literature are given...
