Abstract
The cryogenic hardware required to build a superconducting-qubit-based quantum computer demands a variety of microwave components. These elements include microwave couplers, filters, amplifiers, and circulators and/or isolators. Traditionally implemented as discrete components, integration of this peripheral hardware, in an effort to reduce overall footprint, thermal load, and added noise, is a key challenge to scaling modern quantum processors with qubit counts climbing over the one hundred plus mark. Ferrite-based microwave isolators, generally employed in the readout chain to decouple qubits and resonators from readout electronics, persist as one of the volumetrically largest devices still utilized as discrete components. Here, we present an alternative two-port isolating integrated circuit derived from the dc superconducting quantum interference device (dc SQUID). Nonreciprocal transmission is achieved using the three-wave microwave-mixing properties of a flux-modulated dc SQUID. We show that when multiple dc SQUIDs are embedded in a multipole admittance-inverting filter structure, the three-wave mixing derived from the flux pumping of the dc SQUIDs can provide directional microwave power flow. For a three-pole filter device, we experimentally demonstrate a directionality greater than 15 dB over a 600-MHz bandwidth.
