Abstract
Quantum-limited Josephson parametric amplifiers are crucial components in circuit QED readout chains. The dynamic range of state-of-the-art parametric amplifiers is limited by signal-induced Stark shifts that detune the amplifier from its operating point. Using a superconducting nonlinear asymmetric inductive element (SNAIL) as an active component, we show the ability to in situ tune the device flux and pump to a dressed Kerr-free operating point, which provides a 10-fold increase in the number of photons that can be processed by our amplifier, compared to the nominal operating point. Our proposed and experimentally verified methodology of Kerr-free three-wave mixing can be extended to improve the dynamic range of other pumped operations in quantum superconducting circuits.
