    Abstract: An apparatus includes a directional coupler and an absorptive low pass filter, in which the directional coupler has a first transmission line extending from a first port to a second port and a second transmission line extending from a third port to a fourth port, the first transmission line and the second transmission line configured such that a portion of a signal travelling from the first port onto the first transmission line is coupled to the second transmission line and towards the third port. The second port is connected to the fourth port of the directional coupler via the absorptive low pass filter. When the signal is input into the first port of the directional coupler and output through the third port of the directional coupler, the signal is substantially unattenuated if the frequency of the signal is in a passband of the absorptive low pass filter.

    Abstract: The disclosure is towards parametric amplifiers with inductive input coupling for quantum computing systems. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a quantum computing system comprising a first qubit, a first measurement device, and a first amplifier. The first measurement device is configured to generate a first qubit signal corresponding to a first quantum state of the first qubit. The first amplifier is configured to amplify the first qubit signal. The first amplifier comprises a first transmission-line resonator. The first transmission-line resonator provides an inductive reactance for an electrical coupling between the first measurement device and the first amplifier. The inductive reactance for the electrical coupling enables a transmission of the first qubit signal.

    Abstract: The technology relates to quantum computing devices and test arrangements for detecting information from the qubits of such devices. According to aspects of the technology, a Purcell filter is structured in a multi-pole architecture to provide a sharper filter response having a flatter signal pass band, sharper turn-off skirt, and enhanced out of band rejection. The system is able to determine the states of the qubits by detecting the frequency of the readout resonators of the test arrangement. The Purcell filter is configured to be sharply tuned to enable faster readout to avoid issues associated with a longer relaxation time (T1) of the qubits.

    Abstract: A Josephson parametric device is presented, which includes an input port, an output port, and a signal path between the input port and the output port. The signal path includes a first section coupled to the input port and having a first passband, a second section coupled to the output port and having a second passband and a Josephson junction coupling element for parametric coupling between the first and second section. The Josephson junction coupling element is coupled to and interposed between the first section and the second section. The Josephson junction coupling element is configured such that, in response to the input port receiving a first signal at a first frequency lying within the first passband and the Josephson junction coupling element receiving a pump tone, the Josephson junction coupling element converts the first signal into a second signal with a second frequency lying within the second passband.
