Tunable compact on-chip superconducting switch

Published 29 Feb 2024 in quant-ph | (2402.19394v1)

Abstract: We develop a compact four-port superconducting switch with a tunable operating frequency in the range of 4.8 GHz -- 7.3 GHz. Isolation between channel exceeds 20~dB over a bandwidth of several hundred megahertz, exceeding 40 dB at some frequencies. The footprint of the device is $80\times420~\mu$m. The tunability requires only a global flux bias without either permanent magnets or micro-electromechanical structures. As the switch is superconducting, the heat dissipation during operation is negligible. The device can operate at up to -80~dBm, which is equal to $2.5\times 106$ photons at 6 GHz per microsecond. The device show a possibility to be operated as a beamsplitter with tunable splitting ratio.
