• Abstract: We present a unified approach for designing a diverse range of superconducting non-reciprocal components, including circulators, isolators, and uni-directional amplifiers, based on temporally-modulated coupled resonator networks. Our method leverages standard SQUID-based resonators as building blocks, arranged in various configurations such as series-coupled, wye-connected, and lattice-coupled resonators, to realize a wide range of on-chip non-reciprocal devices. Our theoretical studies demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach, achieving circulators and isolators with near-zero insertion losses and isolation greater than 20 dB, and directional amplifiers with forward gain exceeding 10 dB and reverse isolation greater than 20 dB. To validate our findings, we implemented and measured a series-coupled three-resonator superconducting isolator using a single-layer superconducting process. At a base temperature of 20 mK, our device exhibited insertion loss of 1.3 dB in the forward direction, and isolation of up to 25 dB at the center frequency and greater than 15 dB across a bandwidth of 250 MHz in the reverse direction. Our approach promises to enable the design of a broad range of high-performance non-reciprocal devices for superconducting circuits.

  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.

  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.

  We explore a prototype of an oscillatory neural network (ONN) based on vanadium dioxide switching devices. The effective action radius RTC of coupling depends both on the total energy released during switching and on the average power. In the case of a strong thermal coupling, the limit of the supply current parameters, for which the oscillations exist, expands by 10 %. The effect of subharmonic synchronization hold promise for application in classification and pattern recognition.
