We present a SNAIL-based parametric amplifier that integrates a lumped-element impedance matching network for increased bandwidth and an on-chip pump-port filter for efficient pump delivery. The amplifier is fabricated using a single-layer optical lithography step, followed by a single-layer electron beam lithography step. We measure a flat 20 dB gain profile with less than 1 dB ripple across a bandwidth of up to 250 MHz on multiple devices, demonstrating robust performance against variations arising from fabrication and packaging. We characterize the amplifier's linearity by analyzing gain compression and intermodulation distortion under simultaneous multi-tone excitation. We show that the intermodulation products remain suppressed by more than 23 dB relative to the signal tones, even at the 1 dB gain compression point. We further validate its utility by performing simultaneous high-fidelity readout of two transmon qubits, achieving state assignment fidelities of 99.51% and 98.55%. The combination of compact design, fabrication simplicity, and performance robustness makes this amplifier a practical device for quantum experiments with superconducting circuits.

  1. Nondegenerate Josephson Mixers with Enhanced Bandwidth and Saturation Power for Quantum Signal Amplification and Transduction

    quant-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Impedance-matched nondegenerate Josephson mixers achieve 400 MHz amplification and 700 MHz conversion bandwidths with saturation powers above -110 dBm, far beyond previous resonator-based mixers.
