States dressing analysis in a transmon-transmon-bus system

The multi-qubit gates fidelity of superconducting quantum processors can be limited due to the dressing of computational states by noncomputational ones. Here, we experimentally and analytically investigate a transmon-transmon-bus system where the computational states dressing is tunable over a broad range. We estimate the dressing using three methods: a full three-element model, an effective mode approach, and an unperturbed mode approach. The obtained results highlight the importance of the accurate estimation and control of the computational states dressing in order to optimize gates on superconducting platform.

Magnetization dynamics in proximity-coupled superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor multilayers. Part II

In this work, we study magnetization dynamics in superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor thin-film structures. Results of the broad-band ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy are reported for a large set of samples with varied thickness of both superconducting and ferromagnetic layers in a wide frequency, field, and temperature ranges. Experimentally the one-dimensional anisotropic action of superconducting torque on magnetization dynamics is established; its dependence on thickness of layers is revealed. It is demonstrated that experimental findings support the recently-proposed mechanism of the superconducting torque formation via the interplay between the superconducting kinetic inductance and magnetization precession at superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces.

Magnetic resonances in EuSn$_2$As$_2$ single crystal

In this work, we report the broad-band ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy of EuSn$_2$As$_2$ single crystals at different temperatures in combination with magnetization measurements and structural characterization. We observe conventional collective acoustic resonance mode of the A-type antiferromagnetic spin-flop phase in the Eu sub-lattice, and its transition to the paramagnetic resonance above the ordering temperature. Furthermore, we observe reproducibly additional well-defined spectral line. The origin of the additional line remains unclear. However, its temperature dependence attributes it to magnetism in the Eu sub-lattice.

Exchange spin waves in thin films with gradient composition

We report investigation of ferromagnetic resonance phenomenon in ferromagnetic thin films with essentially non-uniform composition. Epitaxial Pd-Fe thin film with linear distribution of Fe content across the thickness is used as the model material. Anomalous perpendicular standing spin waves are observed and quantified using the collective dynamic equation. Numerical analysis yields the exchange stiffness constant for diluted Pd-Fe alloy $D=2A/μ_0M_s=15$~T$\cdot$nm$^2$ and the ratio of the effective magnetization to the saturation magnetization $M_{eff}/M_s=1.16$. It is demonstrated that, overall, engineering of thin films with non-uniform composition across the thickness can be used for high-frequency or low-field magnonic operations using exchange spin waves.

Antiferromagnetic resonances in twinned EuFe2As2 single crystal

In this work, we report ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy of EuFe2As2 single crystals. We observe ferromagnetic resonance responses, which are attributed to antiferromagnetic resonances of Eu sub-lattice with orthorhombic crystal structure and with different orientations of twin domains relative to the external field. We confirm validity of the recently-proposed spin Hamiltonian with anisotropic Eu-Eu exchange interaction and biquadratic Eu-Fe exchange interaction.

Approaching to the deep-strong photon-to-magnon coupling

In this work, the ultra-strong photon-to-magnon coupling is demonstrated for on-chip multilayered superconductor/ferromagnet/insulator hybrid thin film structures reaching the coupling strength above 6 GHz, the coupling ratio about 0.6, the single-spin coupling strength about 350 Hz, and cooperativity about 10^4. High characteristics of coupling are achieved owing to a radical suppression of the photon phase velocity in electromagnetic resonator. With achieved coupling the spectrum reveals inapplicability of the Dicke model, and evidences contribution of the diamagnetic A^2 interaction term in the Hamiltonian of the system, which satisfies the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule. The contribution of the A^2 term denotes validity of the Hopfield quantum model and manifests observation of a different hybrid polariton quasi-particle, namely, the plasmon-magnon polariton.

Ultra-strong photon-to-magnon coupling in multilayered heterostructures involving superconducting coherence via ferromagnetic layers

The critical step for future quantum industry demands realization of efficient information exchange between different-platform hybrid systems, including photonic and magnonic systems, that can harvest advantages of distinct platforms. The major restraining factor for the progress in certain hybrid systems is the fundamentally weak coupling parameter between the elemental particles. This restriction impedes the entire field of hybrid magnonics by making realization of scalable on-chip hybrid magnonic systems unattainable. In this work, we propose a general flexible approach for realization of on-chip hybrid magnonic systems with unprecedentedly strong coupling parameters. The approach is based on multilayered micro-structures containing superconducting, insulating and ferromagnetic layers with modified both photon phase velocities and magnon eigen-frequencies. Phenomenologically, the enhanced coupling strength is provided by the radically reduced photon mode volume. The microscopic mechanism of the phonon-to-magnon coupling in studied systems evidences formation of the long-range superconducting coherence via thick strong ferromagnetic layers. This coherence is manifested by coherent superconducting screening of microwave fields by the superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor three-layers in presence of magnetization precession. This discovery offers new opportunities in microwave superconducting spintronics for quantum technologies.

Magnetization dynamics in proximity-coupled superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor multilayers

In this work, magnetization dynamics is studied in superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor three-layered films in a wide frequency, field, and temperature ranges using the broad-band ferromagnetic resonance measurement technique. It is shown that in presence of both superconducting layers and of superconducting proximity at both superconductor/ferromagnet interfaces a massive shift of the ferromagnetic resonance to higher frequencies emerges. The phenomenon is robust and essentially long-range: it has been observed for a set of samples with the thickness of ferromagnetic layer in the range from tens up to hundreds of nanometers. The resonance frequency shift is characterized by proximity-induced magnetic anisotropies: by the positive in-plane uniaxial anisotropy and by the drop of magnetization. The shift and the corresponding uniaxial anisotropy grow with the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer. For instance, the anisotropy reaches 0.27~T in experiment for a sample with 350~nm thick ferromagnetic layer, and about 0.4~T in predictions, which makes it a ferromagnetic film structure with the highest anisotropy and the highest natural resonance frequency ever reported. Various scenarios for the superconductivity-induced magnetic anisotropy are discussed. As a result, the origin of the phenomenon remains unclear. Application of the proximity-induced anisotropies in superconducting magnonics is proposed as a way for manipulations with a spin-wave spectrum.

Interplay of magnetization dynamics with microwave waveguide at cryogenic temperatures

In this work, magnetization dynamics is studied at low temperatures in a hybrid system that consists of thin epitaxial magnetic film coupled with superconducting planar microwave waveguide. The resonance spectrum was observed in a wide magnetic field range, including low fields below the saturation magnetization and both polarities. Analysis of the spectrum via a developed fitting routine allowed to derive all magnetic parameters of the film at cryogenic temperatures, to detect waveguide-induced uniaxial magnetic anisotropies of the first and the second order, and to uncover a minor misalignment of magnetic field. A substantial influence of the superconducting critical state on resonance spectrum is observed and discussed.

Wide-Range Bolometer with RF Readout TES

To improve both scalability and noise-filtering capability of a Transition-Edge Sensor (TES), a new concept of a thin-film detector is suggested, which is based on embedding a microbridge TES into a high-Q planar GHz range resonator weakly coupled to a 50 Ohm-readout transmission line. Such a TES element is designed as a hot-electron microbolometer coupled to a THz range antenna and as a load of the resonator at the same time. A weak THz signal coupled to the antenna heats the microbridge TES, thus reducing the quality factor of the resonator and leading to a power increment in the readout line. The power-to-power conversion gain, an essential figure of merit, is estimated to be above 10. To demonstrate the basic concept, we fabricated and tested a few submicron sized devices from Nb thin films for operation temperature about 5 K. The dc and rf characterization of the new device is made at a resonator frequency about 5.8 GHz. A low-noise HEMT amplifier is used in our TES experiments without the need for a SQUID readout. The optical sensitivity to blackbody radiation within the frequency band 600-700 GHz is measured as $\sim3\times 10^{-14} \textrm W/\sqrt{\textrm Hz}$ at Tc {\approx} 5 K at bath temperature ~ 1.5 K.

Superconducting hot-electron nanobolometer with microwave bias and readout

We propose a new detection technique based on radio-frequency (RF) bias and readout of an antenna-coupled superconducting nanobolometer. This approach is suitable for Frequency-Division-Multiplexing (FDM) readout of large arrays using broadband low-noise RF amplifier. We call this new detector RFTES. This feasibility study was made on demonstrator devices which are made in all-Nb technology and operate at 4.2 K. The studied RFTES devices consist of an antenna-coupled superconducting nanobolometer made of ultrathin niobium films with transition temperature Tc = 5.2 K. The 0.65-THz antenna and nanobolometer are embedded as a load into a GHz-range coplanar niobium resonator (Tc = 8.9 K, Q = 4000). To heat the superconducting Nb nanobolometer close to the Tc, the RF power at resonator frequency f = 5.8 GHz is applied via a transmission line which is weakly coupled (-11 dB) to the loaded resonator. The THz-antenna of RFTES was placed in the focus of a sapphire immersion lens inside a He4-cryostat equipped with an optical window and a semiconductor RF amplifier. We have demonstrated optical response of the RFTES to THz radiation. The demonstrator receiver system employing the RFTES device showed an optical Noise-Equivalent Power (NEP) 1e-14 W/sqrt(Hz) at 4.2 K.

Electrodynamics of a planar Archimedean spiral resonator

We present a theoretical and experimental study of electrodynamics of a planar spiral superconducting resonator of a finite length. The resonator is made in the form of a monofilar Archimedean spiral. By making use of a general model of inhomogeneous alternating current flowing along the resonator and specific boundary conditions on the surface of the strip, we obtain analytically the frequencies $f_n$ of resonances which can be excited in such system. We also calculate corresponding inhomogeneous RF current distributions $ψ_n (r)$, where $r$ is the coordinate across a spiral. We show that the resonant frequencies and current distributions are well described by simple relationships $f_n=f_1 n$, and $ψ_n(r)\simeq \sin[πn (r/R_e)^2]$, where $n=1,2...$, and $R_e$ is the external radius of the spiral. Our analysis of electrodynamic properties of spiral resonators' is in good accord with direct numerical simulations and measurements made using specifically designed magnetic probe and laser scanning microscope.
