• Abstract: Nonreciprocal microwave routing plays a crucial role for measuring quantum circuits, and allows for realizing cascaded quantum systems for generating and stabilizing entanglement between non-interacting qubits. The most commonly used tools for implementing directionality are ferrite-based circulators. These devices are versatile, but suffer from excess loss, a large footprint, and fixed directionality. For utilizing nonreciprocity in scalable quantum circuits it is desirable to develop efficient integration of low-loss and in-situ controllable directional elements. Here, we report the design and experimental realization of a minimal controllable directional interface that can be directly coupled to superconducting qubits. In the presented device, nonreciprocity is realized through a combination of interference and phase-controlled parametric pumping. We have achieved a maximum directionality of around 30\,dB, and the performance of the device is predicted quantitatively from independent calibration measurements. Using the excellent agreement of model and experiment, we predict that the circuit will be useable as a chiral qubit interface with inefficiencies at the one-percent level or below. Our work offers a promising route for realizing high-fidelity signal routing and entanglement generation in all-to-all connected microwave quantum networks, and provides a path for isolator-free qubit readout schemes.

  We introduce a single protocol to measure the dispersive shift, resonator linewidth, and drive power used in the dispersive readout of superconducting qubits. We find that the resonator linewidth is poorly controlled with a factor of 2 between the maximum and minimum measured values. We also introduce a protocol for measuring the readout system efficiency using the same power levels as are used in typical qubit readout.

  In superconducting circuit quantum information technologies, classical microwave pulses are applied to control and measure the qubit states. Currently, the design of these microwave pulses use simple theoretical or numerical models that do not account for the self-consistent interactions of how the qubit state modifies the applied microwave pulse. We present the formulation and finite element time domain discretization of a semiclassical Maxwell-Schr"odinger method for describing these self-consistent dynamics.
