A Cryogenic Front-end Module Apply to Readout Two-qubits with FDM Technology in Superconducting Quantum Computing System
A massive quantum bits (qubits) array is
required to mitigate gate error rates in order to realize a
practical quantum computing system. An integrated
broadband front-end module is employed for the readout
of two transmon qubits using frequency division
multiplexing (FDM) technology. The front-end module
features a customized IQ up-conversion mixer, fabricated
using a 28-nm CMOS process, supporting an RF range of
4–10 GHz with a conversion gain of 0.3 ± 3 dB at 4 K. It
achieves sufficient linearity with third-order
intermodulation distortion (IM3) exceeding 45 dB and
exhibits image rejection ratio (IRR) and LO rejection ratio
(LORR) of 57 dB and 50 dB, respectively. The
functionality of the front-end module is validated through
the successful readout of two qubits. A readout fidelity of
around 80% is measured, consistent with the baseline
result.
