Compared with prior art, the present invention provides a kind of quantum parameters amplifiers, including for forming oscillation amplification electricity The first capacitor module 100 on road, transmission-type microwave cavity 200, the second capacitance module 300, the Superconducting Quantum of controllable impedance are dry Relate to device 400 and voltage modulation circuit 500;The first capacitor module 100, the transmission-type microwave cavity 200 and described Second capacitance module 300 is sequentially connected, and 400 one end of superconducting quantum interference device of the controllable impedance is connected to the transmission-type The superconduction amount of the controllable impedance is arranged in the middle part of microwave cavity 200, other end ground connection, the voltage modulation circuit 500 Sub- interference device 400 is close to described 200 one end of transmission-type microwave cavity;It is dry by the Superconducting Quantum for adjusting the controllable impedance The inductance for relating to device 400 makes the resonance frequency of the transmission-type microwave cavity 200 be equal to frequency signal to be amplified, thus So that signal to be amplified and pump signal carries out nonlinear interaction and then is amplified in the transmission-type microwave cavity 200 It is signal to be amplified, it not only include to be amplified after signal to be amplified and pump signal carries out nonlinear interaction, in output signal Signal further includes various idler fi, when applying bias voltage, so that quantum parameters amplifier is in optimum working mode Pump signal frequency fpWithout being selected as f signal to be amplifiedsFrequency multiplication, thus when selection pump signal frequency with it is to be amplified Signal frequency have can by filter split apart from when, each idler f of outputiAlso all with f signal to be amplifiedsTool There is the distance that can be split by filter, the present invention is by setting voltage modulation circuit 500, so that the work of quantum parameters amplifier Mode tuning is no longer only limited by pump signal, but passes through the voltage bias and pump signal one of voltage modulation circuit offer It rises and adjusts, when selecting suitable bias voltage and pump signal, each generated in quantum parameters amplifier can be made At a distance from irrelevant signal can be split with the holding signal to be amplified on frequency spectrum by filter, and then these nothings can be eliminated OFF signal improves the reading fidelity that quantum parameters amplifier reads signal to quantum bit.
It should be noted that in quantum calculation field, the operation result of quantum chip in order to obtain, it would be desirable to amount Signal, that is, quantum bit of sub- chip output reads signal and is acquired and analyzes, by taking superconductive quantum bit system as an example, quantum Bit reads detectable signal usually in 4-8GHz frequency range, and power is down to -140dBm hereinafter, even up to -150dBm or less.Consider The coupling efficiency of detector is read to quantum bit detectable signal and quantum bit, the power of -150dBm to -140dBm is corresponding to be visited The photon numbers surveyed inside device are about 1-10 or so.So faint detectable signal, after detector is spread out of again, Can also additionally it incur loss.Therefore, the application of quantum chip, the key problem for needing to solve first is that how from so it is faint Quantum bit reads in signal and extracts effective quantum state information.
Assuming that the quantum bit that eventually off quantum bit reads detector, which reads signal, has 10 useful photons, they It will enter in subsequent route, mix with thermal noise, electrical noise etc..Wherein, the thermal noise of standard meets thermodynamics distribution, can To useIt is converted into number of photons n, k in above formulaBFor Boltzmann constant, T is that frequency is ambient noise at f Temperature, h are Planck's constant.Assuming that quantum chip is in 10mK temperature environment, then according to above formula, n can be ignored not less than 0.1 Meter, still, the reception system that quantum bit reads signal are located at room temperature, and n is about 1000, if quantum bit reading signal is straight It connects outflow to come, then can be submerged in noise.It therefore, the use of parameter amplifier is necessary.
Any amplifier all can extraly introduce noise while amplifying original signal.We usually with noise etc. Temperature, that is, noise are imitated to measure, the index is bigger, then noise is poorer.Amplifier is bound to deteriorate signal-to-noise ratio, therefore, puts The setting of big device should raise the gain of amplifier as much as possible, while controlling the noise temperature of amplifier.
Noise temperature equally meetsTherefore, it is making an uproar for f that we, which can convert noise temperature to frequency, Acousto-optic subnumber.And signal-to-noise ratio can be described as, the ratio of signal number of photons and noise light subnumber.
Commercial amplifier at present, the performance low-noise amplifier that most preferably Sweden LNF company produces, can amplify 4- The signal of 8GHz frequency range, noise temperature about 3K.It is measured with this, noise light subnumber is about 10, therefore most using commercial amplifiers The signal-to-noise ratio that can be obtained greatly is about 1, and best quantum parametric amplifier can achieve the noise level of standard quantum limit, Namely n=0.5.In general, n is fluctuated within 0.5-2.Therefore, usage amount subparameter amplifier can make the noise of system Than the promotion for having 5-20 times or so.
Although quantum parametric amplifier by way of greatly improving signal-to-noise ratio, is solved from so faint quantum bit The problem of extracting effective quantum state information in signal is read, but brings new problem.Existing quantum parameters amplification Device is worked based on non-linear frequency mixing principle, in order to effectively amplify quantum bit reading signal, so that quantum parameters are put The big device work pump signal close in the additional application frequency of optimal mode needs and frequency signal to be amplified or its frequency multiplication, example Such as corresponding pump signal applied close to it is signal to be amplified it is corresponding be four-wave mixing operating mode, the pump signal of application approaches Corresponding twice of frequency signal to be amplified is three wave mixing operating mode.
During existing quantum parameters amplifier operation, f signal to be amplified is inputtedsWith pump signal fp, signal to be amplified fsIn pump signal fpUnder the action of amplify, export signal to be amplified, while being based on non-linear frequency mixing principle, in output signal also Including various idler fi, f signal to be amplifieds, pump signal fpAnd idler fiBetween will meet formula: mfs+nfi =lfp, in which: m, n and l are integer, when m, n and l take different numerical value, obtain different idler fi.Meanwhile it is to be amplified Signal fsOr pump signal fpInside quantum parameters amplifier also some signals, these signals can be generated based on Nonlinear Principle Comprising in the output signal, it is also possible to which will affect in output signal signal to be amplified is accurately acquired.Existing quantum At work, pump signal frequency must choose the frequency multiplication of amplified signal frequency to parameter amplifier, could obtain optimal amplification Effect, such as when quantum parameter amplifier is in four-wave mixing operating mode, i.e. pump signal fpFrequency selection purposes are close to wait put Big signal fsFrequency, the f in idlerp、2fp-fs、2fs-fpBecause close to f signal to be amplifiedsAnd it influences signal to be amplified Acquisition;When quantum parameter amplifier is in three wave mixing operating mode, i.e. pump signal fpFrequency selection purposes are close to 2 times wait put Big signal fsFrequency, the 1/2f in idlerp、fp-fsBecause close to f signal to be amplifiedsAnd influence signal to be amplified obtain It takes.
Specifically, referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the embodiment of the present invention one provides a kind of quantum parameters amplifier, the quantum ginseng Amount amplifier includes sequentially connected for forming first capacitor module 100, the transmission-type microwave cavity of oscillator-amplification circuit 200, the superconducting quantum interference device 400 of the second capacitance module 300 and controllable impedance, the superconductive quantum interference of the controllable impedance 400 device one end of device is connected to the middle part of the transmission-type microwave cavity 200, other end ground connection;And it can be by adjusting institute State the superconducting quantum interference device 400 of controllable impedance inductance make the transmission-type microwave cavity 200 frequency be equal to The frequency of amplified signal, in which: described signal to be amplified oscillation amplification to be coupled into from the first capacitor module 100 Circuit, the oscillator-amplification circuit amplify described signal to be amplified under the action of pump signal, and generate several ideler frequency letter Number.
It should be noted that each described idler is all satisfied following formula:
mfs+nfi=lfp
Wherein: m, n, l are integer, fsFor frequency signal to be amplified, fpFor pump signal frequency, fiFor idler frequency, It should be noted that above formula is based on non-linear frequency mixing principle, as f signal to be amplifiedsWith pump signal fpWhen determining, m, n and L takes different numerical value, will obtain various idler fi
Wherein, the first capacitor module 100 is used to be coupled into transmission-type microwave cavity 200 for signal to be amplified In, second capacitance module 300 is used for output signal, it should be noted that usual microwave cavity must connect with external circuit Connecing composition microwave system could work, it is necessary to and it is motivated to establish in chamber by the microwave signal in external circuit and be vibrated, and the vibration in chamber It swings and must can be just output to by coupling in extraneous load, generally use capacitance module and coupled with microwave cavity foundation, this Interdigital capacitor, distributed capacitor can be selected in first capacitor module described in embodiment 100 and second capacitance module 300 respectively Or run-in index capacitor, the present invention for the first capacitor module 100 and second capacitance module 300 concrete form not It is limited.
It should be noted that oscillator-amplification circuit is the common structure of signal amplification sector, it is the pass of many electronic equipments Key member, the usual form of expression of oscillator-amplification circuit are LC oscillating circuit, and capacitor and inductance including interconnection, it both can be used In the signal for generating specific frequency, it is also used for isolating the signal of specific frequency from more complicated signal.It is led in quantum calculation Domain, the in order to obtain operation result of quantum chip, it would be desirable to which signal is read to signal, that is, quantum bit of quantum chip output It is acquired and analyzes, usual quantum bit reading signal is very faint, needs to carry out signal amplification, since quantum bit is read Signal belongs to high-frequency signal, and wavelength is very short, and the capacitor and inductor device-structure dimensions used due to the LC oscillating circuit of lump Larger and LC oscillating circuit energy is Dispersed precipitate in surrounding space, and dissipative velocity is very fast, therefore we must make With the quantum parameters amplifier for being used in quantum regime.
In general, quantum parameters amplifier includes sequentially connected capacitor, microwave cavity, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and use In the magnetic flux bias set circuti of modulation superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is grounded far from one end of resonant cavity, Basic principle is as follows: using the exchange electric forming inductance generated in superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), LC oscillating circuit is constituted with capacitor, from And a single-mode field is constructed in microwave cavity, signal to be amplified and pump signal faint at this time enters device jointly In, it is signal to be amplified in microwave cavity to be amplified, while whole process is all in superconducting state, almost without dissipation.
Wherein: it should be noted that the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is the closed loop being made of several Josephson junction parallel connections Device, in which: Josephson junction is generally made of two pieces of superconductor folders with certain very thin barrier layer, such as S (superconductor)- I (semiconductor or insulator)-S (superconductor) structure, abbreviation SIS, in SIS, superelectron can be from one of superconductor Side tunnels through semiconductor or insulator reaches the superconductor or Josephson effect of the other side, and the electric current of generation is known as Josephson current just constitutes Josephson's interferometer when multiple Josephson junctions are joined together to form closed-loop device, Or superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID).
The quantum parameters amplifier further includes voltage modulation circuit 500;The voltage modulation circuit 500 is arranged described The superconducting quantum interference device 400 of controllable impedance is close to described 200 one end of transmission-type microwave cavity;The controllable impedance surpasses The oscillation is put under the action of leading the bias voltage that quantum inteferometer device 400 can be provided in the voltage modulation circuit 500 One of idler release generated in big circuit.
It should be noted that passing through the electricity of Josephson junction when applying voltage bias at superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) both ends Stream is the oscillation supercurrent an of alternation, and frequency of oscillation (or Josephson's frequency) will be directly proportional to the bias voltage, this So that Josephson junction has the ability of radiation or electromagnetic wave absorption, meet following relational expression:
2eV=hf
Wherein: h is Planck's constant.
Since the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) device being made of several Josephson junction parallel connections has the ability of electromagnetic wave absorption, When applying voltage bias on the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) device 400 in the controllable impedance, electric current library that Josephson ties Uncle is grounded outflow to the energy tunnelling Josephson junction that will absorb microwave signal, when selecting suitable voltage bias, so that closing It is the frequency that f is equal to one of idler that oscillator-amplification circuit generates in formula 2eV=hf, is generated in oscillator-amplification circuit The idler will be completely absorbed, show as the idler and be released.
It should be noted that workflow of the invention is as follows, by the superconductive quantum interference for adjusting the controllable impedance The inductance of instrument 400, so that the resonant frequency of operation of the transmission-type microwave cavity 200 is consistent with frequency signal to be amplified, So that signal to be amplified best in the 200 interior resonance amplification effect of transmission-type microwave cavity, by signal to be amplified and Pump signal is coupled into the transmission-type microwave cavity 200, signal to be amplified to put under the action of pump signal It greatly, further include pump signal, half frequency pump signal, frequency multiplication pump it should be noted that not only including amplified signal in output signal Pu signal and various idlers, when applying suitable voltage bias at this time, so that meet relational expression 2eV=hf, wherein f etc. The idler generated in the frequency of one of idler, the oscillator-amplification circuit will be completely absorbed, performance It is released for the idler.
It should be noted that quantum parameters amplifier of the present invention is before operation, various parameters, including selection electricity need to be designed Pressure biasing size and pump signal frequency, final purpose of the invention first is that make output irrelevant signal in will not It is interfered to signal to be amplified, even if also they can be split by filter, a kind of specific example is provided here, when wait put When big signal frequency is 4GHz, can design one of idler first is 2GHz, is calculated by relational expression 2eV=hf Voltage bias out, further according to formula mfs+nfi=lfpOne of possible pump signal frequency is calculated, for example, take m, N, when l is 1, selection pump signal frequency is 6GHz, at this point, further according to formula mfs+nfi=lfpConsider other possible ideler frequencies When signal, it can be proved that work as m, when n and l take different numerical value, obtained idler fiIt will not be to f signal to be amplifiedsIt causes Interference.Following table gives when frequency signal to be amplified is 4GHz, pump signal frequency is 6GHz, generation with it is signal to be amplified fs8 kinds of closest idler f of frequencyi

As seen from the above table, generation with f signal to be amplifieds8 kinds of closest idler f of frequencyiWith letter to be amplified Number fsCertain distance is kept, then other idlers f generatediIt will not be to f signal to be amplifiedsIt interferes.
Traditional quantum parameters amplifier there is a further problem, when practical quantum chip operation, it would be desirable to simultaneously A large amount of quantum bit signal is read, the quantum state information of each quantum bit carries outflow, frequency by an independent signal Rate and the frequency of the quantum state information carrying signal of other quantum bits are different.Simultaneously read multiple quantum bits it is meant that Simultaneously have it is multiple carry the signal to be amplified of information, need by quantum parametric amplifier.Wherein each signal exists for they While obtaining amplification effect, a large amount of irrelevant signal can be all generated, and wherein at least one irrelevant signal is waited for itself The signal of amplification is close.In addition to this, the irrelevant signal of some generation signal to be amplified, it is likely that extraly wait putting with another The frequency of big signal is close.
Specifically, for example: inputting the f signal to be amplified of traditional quantum parameters amplifiersFrequency be respectively 6.4GHz With 6.58GHz (at a distance of 0.18GHz, filter is detachable), traditional quantum parameters amplifier pumping signal fpFrequency can set It is calculated as 6.5GHz, corresponds to four-wave mixing operating mode, then according to formula mfs+nfi=lfp, the amplified signal f of 6.4GHzs One of idler fiFor 6.6GHz, it will influence 6.58GHz signal (at a distance of 0.02GHz, being difficult to split).
And when using quantum parameters amplifier of the invention, by designing an idler, such as 4GHz, according to 4GHz Signal and 6.4GHz amplified signal fsDesign pump signal fpFor 5.2GHz and bias voltage, it is known that according to this The pump signal f of 5.2GHzpRespectively with the amplified signal f of 6.4GHz and 6.58GHzsSignal mixer action, obtained all ideler frequencies Signal fiWith the amplified signal f of 6.4GHz and 6.58GhzsKeep detachable distance.
Further, the superconducting quantum interference device 400 of the controllable impedance includes the Superconducting Quantum of Mutual Inductance Coupling connection Interferometer 410 and Flux modulation circuit 420, specifically may refer to Fig. 2;The superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) 410 is by several about plucked instrument The gloomy knot of the husband closed-loop device in parallel constituted;The Flux modulation circuit 420 is used for the magnetic flux by adjusting the closed-loop device And then adjust the inductance of the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) 410.
The Flux modulation circuit 420 includes sequentially connected Flux modulation line and the electric current dress for generating bias current It sets;Wherein: the Flux modulation line is used for transmission the bias current, and makes the bias current and the superconductive quantum interference 410 Mutual Inductance Coupling of instrument.
It should be noted that the current device for generating bias current can be current source or be successively to connect What is connect can provide the voltage source and resistance of the bias current, and the present invention is without restriction for the concrete form of current source.
Further, it is the coplanar of wavelength half signal to be amplified that the transmission-type microwave cavity 200, which is length, Waveguide microwave resonant cavity uses length for the co-planar waveguide microwave cavity of the half of wavelength signal to be amplified, due to two The electric field strength highest point of/mono- wavelength co-planar waveguide microwave cavity is located at close to the first capacitor module 100 One end of one end and close second capacitance module 300, and the electric field in middle position is almost 0, introduces direct current here Pressure biasing will not impact the microwave in the transmission-type microwave cavity 200, and output signal will be from close to described the One end of two capacitance modules 300 exports, and signal to be amplified in compacting most strength using quarter-wave reflection type resonant cavity Amplify difference, using half wavelength co-planar waveguide microwave cavity, it is signal to be amplified will be in the transmission-type resonance The most weak place of signal absorption amplifies in chamber 200, to improve signal gain amplifier.
Preferably, as shown in Fig. 2, the transmission-type microwave cavity 200 can be wave signal to be amplified by a pair of of length The co-planar waveguide microwave cavity 210 of long a quarter, which is connected, to be formed.
It should be noted that co-planar waveguide is prepared on three parallel metal foils of dielectric layer surface in microwave regime Film conduction band layer, wherein centrally located conduction band layer is used for transmission microwave signal, the conduction band layer of two sides is all connected to ground level, with one As the maximum difference of circuit be that co-planar waveguide is a kind of distributed circuit elements, capacitive/inductive/impedance/impedance equably edge Co-planar waveguide signal propagation direction distribution, co-planar waveguide propagate be TEM wave, along signal propagation direction, the impedance of waveguide Equal everywhere, because signal reflex may be not present, signal almost can nondestructively pass through;In addition, the not cut-off frequency of co-planar waveguide, And there is cutoff frequency in common lumped circuitry.For co-planar waveguide uniform for one section, most frequency ranges it is micro- Wave signal can transmit unblockedly, thus be called transmission line, i.e. coplanar waveguide transmission line.When the coplanar wave guide transmission of design Line has certain length, and constructs a capacitive node respectively at the both ends of coplanar waveguide transmission line, and microwave signal encounters node Back reflection forms resonance in this section of transmission line, constitutes resonant cavity.
Preferably, coplanar waveguide transmission line can also be used in the Flux modulation line for being used for transmission the bias current.
Further, referring to Fig. 3, in order to filter out the irrelevant signal in output signal other than amplified signal, in institute The signal output end for stating the second capacitance module 300 is additionally provided with filter 600, wherein irrelevant signal generally refers to pumping letter Number, half frequency pump signal, frequency multiplication pump signal and various idlers.
