• Abstract: Nonlinear microwave circuits are key elements for many groundbreaking research directions and technologies, such as quantum computation and quantum sensing. The majority of microwave circuits with Josephson nonlinearities to date is based on aluminum thin films, and therefore they are severely restricted in their operation range regarding temperatures and external magnetic fields. Here, we present the realization of superconducting niobium microwave resonators with integrated, three-dimensional (3D) nanobridge-based superconducting quantum interference devices. The 3D nanobridges (constriction weak links) are monolithically patterned into pre-fabricated microwave LC circuits using neon ion beam milling, and the resulting quantum interference circuits show frequency tunabilities, flux responsivities and Kerr nonlinearities on par with comparable aluminum nanobridge devices, but with the perspective of a much larger operation parameter regime. Our results reveal great potential for application of these circuits in hybrid systems with e.g. magnons and spin ensembles or in flux-mediated optomechanics.
