Millimeter-Wave Four-Wave Mixing via Kinetic Inductance for Quantum Devices
ORAL
Abstract
Millimeter-wave superconducting devices offer transformative opportunities for quantum experiments at temperatures above 1K, allowing higher device power dissipation, integration with semiconductor technologies, as well as new avenues for studying light-matter interactions in the strong coupling regime. Using the intrinsic nonlinearity associated with kinetic inductance of thin film materials, we realize four-wave mixing at millimeter-wave frequencies: a key component for superconducting quantum systems. We report on the performance of low-loss planar resonators around 100 GHz, patterned on high kinetic inductance thin films of niobium nitride grown by atomic layer deposition. With two-tone spectroscopy we explore degenerate parametric conversion at single photon powers, paving the way for a new generation of high-frequency high-temperature quantum experiments.
