• Abstract summary: We describe a wide-band Josephson Parametric Amplifier (JPA) that is impedance-matched using an integrated compact superconducting transmission line transformer. The impedance transformer consists of two broadside coupled transmission lines configured in a Ruthroff topology. The amplifier has up to 20dB gain, with less than 1 dB of ripple, 2-3 GHz gain-bandwidth product and -126 dBm input 1-dB compression point.

• Abstract: We describe a wide-band Josephson Parametric Amplifier (JPA) that is impedance-matched using an integrated compact superconducting transmission line transformer. The impedance transformer consists of two broadside coupled transmission lines configured in a Ruthroff topology which enables a wide matching bandwidth from 2 to 18 GHz, reducing the input line impedance and the device resonance quality factor by a factor of 4. This enables gain flatness and flexibility in the choice of the amplifier's tuning range. The amplifier has up to 20dB gain, with less than 1 dB of ripple, 2-3 GHz gain-bandwidth product and -126 dBm input 1-dB compression point. Moreover, the device active area fits into a 1mm x 1mm space, thus easing integration into large quantum systems.

• Peripheral circuits for ideal performance of a travelling-wave parametric amplifier [0.0]
  We investigate the required peripheral circuits to enable ideal performance for a high-gain travelling-wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) based on three-wave mixing (3WM) By embedding the TWPA in a network of superconducting diplexers, hybrid couplers and impedance matching networks, the amplifier can deliver a high stable gain with near-quantum-limited noise performance, with suppressed gain ripples. We demonstrate how the WIF-TWPAs can be used to construct controllable isolators with over 40 dB isolation over the full 4-8 GHz band.

• Superconducting coupler with exponentially large on-off ratio [68.8204255655161]
  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.
