Quantum-Based Microwave Modulated Waveforms

August 4, 2023
Author(s)
Akim Babenko, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Anna Fox, Paul Dresselhaus, Zoya Popovic, Samuel P. Benz
This paper presents a superconducting voltage source that generates microwave modulated waveforms with quantum-based stability. The voltage source - an RF Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (RF-JAWS) - uses a superconducting IC with an array of 4500

Cryogenic Decade-Passband Superconducting Integrated Diplexer

August 29, 2022
Author(s)
Akim Babenko, GREGOR LASSER, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Justus Brevik, Anna Fox, ZOYA POPOVIC, Paul Dresselhaus
We demonstrate a decade-passband superconducting diplexer operating from dc to 27 GHz, integrated in a niobium, Josephson-junction(JJ)-compatible process. Both low- and high-pass branches are singly-terminated 5-pole Butter-worth filters with a 2.5 GHz

RF Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer with Integrated Superconducting Diplexers

August 24, 2022
Author(s)
Akim Babenko, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, GREGOR LASSER, Justus Brevik, Anna Fox, Paul Dresselhaus, Zoya Popovic, Samuel P. Benz
We present the design, fabrication and characterization of a broadband RF Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (RF-JAWS) with a series array of 4500 Josephson junctions (JJs) and integrated low-pass/high-pass five-pole superconducting diplexers. The

Bipolar Waveform Synthesis with an Optically Driven Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer

April 19, 2022
Author(s)
Justus Brevik, Dahyeon Lee, Anna Fox, Yiwei Peng, Akim Babenko, Joe Campbell, Paul Dresselhaus, Franklyn Quinlan, Samuel P. Benz
An array of Josephson junctions (JJs) was driven with photonically generated current pulses to synthesize a high-fidelity 1 kHz bipolar voltage waveform with a quantum-based amplitude that can be directly related to fundamental constants. A photodiode

Characterization of a Josephson Junction Comb Generator

October 13, 2020
Author(s)
Akim Babenko, Alirio De Jesus Soares Boaventura, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Justus Brevik, Anna Fox, Dylan Williams, Zoya Popovic, Paul Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
We present a new type of microwave frequency combs with a potentially calculable pulse shape. The device is an array of 1500 Josephson junctions (JJs) connected in series along a transmission line. The pulse generation is based on the nonlinearity of the

Zero-Compensation Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer at 1.33 V

August 24, 2020
Author(s)
Nathan E. Flowers-Jacobs, Akim Babenko, Anna E. Fox, Justus A. Brevik, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
This paper describes the generation of a quantum-based rms output voltage of 1.332 V using an ac-coupled Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (JAWS) without any low-frequency compensation current biases, that is, in a 'zero-compensation' (ZC) mode. Low
