• Abstract: The use of superconducting micro-resonators in combination with quantum-limited Josephson parametric amplifiers has in recent years lead to more than four orders of magnitude improvement in the sensitivity of pulsed Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) measurements. So far, the microwave resonators and amplifiers have been designed as separate components, largely due to the incompatibility of Josephson junction-based devices with even moderate magnetic fields. This has led to complex spectrometers that operate under strict environments, creating technical barriers for the widespread adoption of the technique. Here we circumvent this issue by inductively coupling an ensemble of spins directly to a weakly nonlinear microwave resonator, which is engineered from a magnetic field-resilient thin superconducting film. We perform pulsed ESR measurements with a $1$~pL effective mode volume and amplify the resulting spin signal using the same device, ultimately achieving a sensitivity of $2.8 \times 10^3$ spins in a single-shot Hahn echo measurement at a temperature of 400 mK. We demonstrate the combined functionalities at fields as large as 254~mT, highlighting the technique's potential for application under more conventional ESR operating conditions.

• 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.
