• Title: Ultra linear magnetic flux-to-voltage conversion in superconducting quantum interference proximity transistors
• Authors: Giorgio De Simoni and Francesco Giazotto
• Abstract summary: We propose an intrinsically-linear flux-to-voltage mesoscopic transducer, called bi-SQUIPT, based on the superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor. The bi-SQUIPT provides a voltage-noise spectral density as low as $sim10-16$ V/Hz$1/2$ and, more interestingly, under a proper operation parameter selection, exhibits a spur-free dynamic range as large as $sim60$ dB.

• Abstract: Superconducting interferometers are quantum devices able to transduce a magnetic flux into an electrical output with excellent sensitivity, integrability and power consumption. Yet, their voltage response is intrinsically non-linear, a limitation which is conventionally circumvented through the introduction of compensation inductances or by the construction of complex device arrays. Here we propose an intrinsically-linear flux-to-voltage mesoscopic transducer, called bi-SQUIPT, based on the superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor as fundamental building block. The bi-SQUIPT provides a voltage-noise spectral density as low as $\sim10^{-16}$ V/Hz$^{1/2}$ and, more interestingly, under a proper operation parameter selection, exhibits a spur-free dynamic range as large as $\sim60$ dB, a value on par with that obtained with state-of-the-art SQUID-based linear flux-to-voltage superconducting transducers. Furthermore, thanks to its peculiar measurement configuration, the bi-SQUIPT is tolerant to imperfections and non-idealities in general. For the above reasons, we believe that the bi-SQUIPT could provide a relevant step-beyond in the field of low-dissipation and low-noise current amplification with a special emphasis on applications in cryogenic quantum electronics.

  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.
