• Abstract: DARTWARS (Detector Array Readout with Traveling Wave AmplifieRS) is a three years project that aims to develop high-performing innovative Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs) for low temperature detectors and qubit readout (C-band). The practical development follows two different promising approaches, one based on the Josephson junctions (TWJPA) and the other one based on the kinetic inductance of a high-resistivity superconductor (KITWPA). This paper presents the advancements made by the DARTWARS collaboration to produce a first working prototype of a KITWPA.

• Investigating pump harmonics generation in a SNAIL-based Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier [0.0]
  Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs) are extensively employed in experiments involving weak microwave signals for their highly desirable quantum-limited and broadband characteristics. However, TWPAs' broadband nature comes with the disadvantage of admitting the activation of spurious nonlinear processes, such as harmonics generation, that can potentially degrade amplification performance. Here we experimentally investigate a Josephson TWPA device with SNAIL (Superconducting Asymmetric Inductive Element)-based unit cells focusing on the amplification behaviour along with the generation of second and third harmonics of the pump.

• Function Approximation for Reinforcement Learning Controller for Energy from Spread Waves [69.9104427437916]
  Multi-generator Wave Energy Converters (WEC) must handle multiple simultaneous waves coming from different directions called spread waves. These complex devices need controllers with multiple objectives of energy capture efficiency, reduction of structural stress to limit maintenance, and proactive protection against high waves. In this paper, we explore different function approximations for the policy and critic networks in modeling the sequential nature of the system dynamics.

• Development of KI-TWPAs for the DARTWARS project [45.045423476064414]
  Noise at the quantum limit over a broad bandwidth is a fundamental requirement for future cryogenic experiments. We develop Kinetic Inductance Travelling-Wave Parametric Amplifiers (KI-TWPAs) for low temperature detectors and qubit read-out. KI-TWPAs are typically operated in a threewave mixing (3WM) mode and are characterised by a high gain, a high saturation power, a large amplification bandwidth and nearly quantum limited noise performance.

  Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs) may be especially suitable for practical applications due to their multi-Gigahertz amplification bandwidth. The DARTWARS project aims to develop a KITWPA capable of achieving $20,$ dB of amplification. The measurements revealed an average amplification of approximately $9,$dB across a $2,$GHz bandwidth for a KITWPA spanning $17,$mm in length.
