Abstract

This session focuses on Qubit readout low-noise cryogenic amplifiers and receivers manufactured in CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS technologies. The first paper discusses a novel GM boosted LNA topology. This is followed by a paper on the characterization of several CMOS inverter-based 28nm FDSOI LNAs. Next, 45nm BiCOMOS SiGe LNAs with record 2.6K minimum noise temperature are presented. The session ends with a SiGe BiCMOS IQ receiver for superconducting Qubit readout.

Abstract

The session introduces recent advances in quantum technologies. The first paper presents a planar graphene/ferroelectric FET for generating a pyroelectric current from microwave power. The second shows a driver module for the control of a single transmon Qubit in the 4–10GHz frequency range. The third paper deals with a four-winding transformer-based capacitor-assisted QVCO, operating in 55nm CMOS process, to reduce the flicker noise. The final paper introduces a technique for implementing a frequency-doubler in NbTiN on silicon for operation in a cryogenic environment.
