• Abstract: We propose a traveling wave scheme for broadband microwave isolation using parametric mode conversion in conjunction with adiabatic phase matching technique in a pair of coupled nonlinear transmission lines. This scheme is compatible with the circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture (cQED) and provides isolation without introducing additional quantum noise. We first present the scheme in a general setting then propose an implementation with Josephson junction transmission lines. Numerical simulation shows more than 20 dB isolation over an octave bandwidth (4-8\,GHz) in a 2000 unit cell device with less than 0.05 dB insertion loss dominated by dielectric loss.

• Kinetic Inductance Parametric Converter [0.0]
  Parametric converters are used for amplifying and squeezing microwave signals in quantum computing and sensing. In current devices, the strong localized nonlinearity of the Josephson Junction limits the amplification and squeezing. A weak distributed nonlinearity can provide higher gain and dynamic range, when implemented as a kinetic inductance (KI) nanowire of a dirty superconductor.

  Two-level system (TLS) loss is limiting the coherence of superconducting quantum circuits. We observe frequency mixing due to this nonlinearity by applying a two-tone drive to a coplanar waveguide resonator. Using harmonic balance reconstruction, we recover the nonlinear parameters of the device-TLS interaction.

  Millimeter-wave superconducting resonators are a useful tool for studying quantum device coherence in a new frequency domain. We develop and characterize a tapered transition structure coupling a rectangular waveguide to a planar slotline waveguide with better than 0.5 dB efficiency over 14 GHz. Having decoupled the resonators from radiative losses, we consistently achieve single-photon quality factors above $105$, with a two-level-system loss limit above $106$.

  Tunable two-qubit couplers offer an avenue to mitigate errors in multiqubit superconducting quantum processors. Most couplers operate in a narrow frequency band and target specific couplings, such as the spurious $ZZ$ interaction. We introduce a superconducting coupler that alleviates these limitations by suppressing all two-qubit interactions with an exponentially large on-off ratio.
