背景技术Background technique
量子计算机作为一种新型的计算工具,运用了量子力学的叠加态原理和量子纠缠特性,具有强大的并行运算能力。超导量子比特由于其具有低损耗、可扩展性好、与传统微纳加工技术兼容等特点,成为最有可能实现量子计算机的方案之一。在量子比特测量实验中,为了保护量子比特的状态,测量信号功率非常小,在电路的输出端需要外加放大器对输出信号进行放大。而商用的HEMT(高电子迁移率晶体管)噪声温度在4K左右,难以用于量子比特的单发(single shot read out)非破坏性读出。As a new type of computing tool, quantum computer uses the superposition principle of quantum mechanics and the characteristics of quantum entanglement, and has powerful parallel computing capabilities. Superconducting qubits have become one of the most likely solutions to realize quantum computers due to their low loss, good scalability, and compatibility with traditional micro-nano processing technologies. In the qubit measurement experiment, in order to protect the state of the qubit, the measurement signal power is very small, and an external amplifier is required at the output end of the circuit to amplify the output signal. Commercial HEMTs (High Electron Mobility Transistors) have noise temperatures around 4K and are difficult to use for single shot read out non-destructive readout of qubits.
约瑟夫森参量放大器(Josephson Parametric Amplifier,JPA)基于约瑟夫森结的非线性电感特性,在适当的泵浦频率作用下,将泵浦信号的能量转换为被放大信号频率的能量,实现对输入信号的放大。JPA的噪声水平接近量子极限噪声,可以作为超导量子比特电路的第一级放大器,使得读出信号的信噪比获得极大提高,实现量子比特单发非破坏性读出。Josephson Parametric Amplifier (JPA) is based on the nonlinear inductance characteristics of the Josephson junction. Under the action of an appropriate pump frequency, the energy of the pump signal is converted into the energy of the frequency of the amplified signal, so as to realize the amplification of the input signal. enlarge. The noise level of JPA is close to the quantum limit noise, and it can be used as the first-stage amplifier of the superconducting qubit circuit, which greatly improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the readout signal and realizes the single-shot non-destructive readout of the qubit.
现有技术中,JPA的关键电路元件约瑟夫森结采用Al/AlOx/Al三层膜结构,该结构的制备方法是:先对基片101上的双层光刻胶102、103进行曝光显影形成悬空桥104或者非对称下切(asymmetric undercut)结构(如图1-2所示),然后通过电子束双角度斜蒸发和原位氧化工艺制备Al/AlOx/Al隧道结108(如图3-5所示),最后剥离双层光刻胶(如图6所示)。现有制备方法具有如下缺点:1)采用双角度蒸发制备的Al约瑟夫森结,虽然工艺步骤较少,但由于悬空桥本身比较脆弱,在蒸发薄膜之前难以对基片或约瑟夫森结表面利用等离子刻蚀进行清洗;2)利用双层光刻胶制备Al约瑟夫森结,会有多余图形(图6中虚线框所示)存在,不利于实现集成电路的规模化;3)Al薄膜的超导转变温度较低(约1K左右),需要在更低的温度下才能工作。In the prior art, the Josephson junction, a key circuit element of JPA, adopts an Al/AlOx/Al three-layer film structure.
