WIRELESS JOSEPHSON PARAMETRIC CONVERTER

摘要

A wireless Josephson-junction-based parametric converter is described. The converter may be formed on a substrate with antennas that are configured to wirelessly receive pump, signal and idler frequencies and couple the received frequencies to the converter's circuitry. Capacitors may also be fabricated on the same substrate and sized to tune operation of the converter to desired frequencies. The converter may be coupled directly to microwave waveguides, and may be tuned to different signal frequencies by applying magnetic flux to the converter circuitry.
