Description

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a quantum computing system.

[0002] One possible solution for achieving an AC voltage oscillating at radio frequencies, typically in the MHz range, to drive a capacitive load typically involves coupling the capacitive load to a typical radio frequency resonator, which has a predominantly inductive reactance, to utilize a resonant voltage buildup within the radio frequency resonator. A common approach is to use typical spiral resonators made of an electrical conductor such as copper.

[0003] However, if the typical radiofrequency resonator is placed outside a cryostat and the capacitive load is placed inside a cryostat, there is a parasitic capacitance of the capacitive load and an ohmic resistance of the wires between the typical radiofrequency resonator outside the cryostat and the capacitive load. The parasitic capacitance and ohmic resistance reduce the quality factor of the typical radiofrequency resonator.

[0004] If the typical radio frequency resonator is located in the cryostat, this can be problematic at typical radio frequencies due to space constraints. Furthermore, heat dissipation in a cryostat is much more problematic.

[0005] Furthermore, when operating the capacitive load at cryogenic temperatures, changes in material resistance and geometry can significantly shift the linear electrical response of typical radiofrequency resonator components, making impedance matching of a radiofrequency source to a typical radiofrequency resonator difficult. The result is either that most of the radiofrequency power is reflected, rendering the capacitive load inoperable, or that a shift in the electrical response at room temperature must be pre-compensated, resulting in time-consuming iteration over many cooling cycles of the entire system.

[0006] One problem to be solved is to provide an electronic device having improved electronic properties. Furthermore, a quantum computer system comprising such an electronic device is to be provided.

[0007] The problem is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments, implementations, and further developments are the subject matter of the respective dependent claims.

[0008] The electronic device for driving a capacitive load is described. In particular, the electronic device is designed to be arranged in a cryostat. The capacitive load is arranged, for example, inside the cryostat or outside a cryostat. The electronic device is, for example, a passive electronic device. In particular, unlike an active electronic device, the passive electronic device does not generate power. This means that the passive electronic device cannot amplify the power of a signal, but the passive electronic device can increase the voltage or current of a signal. The passive electronic device is, for example, an oscillating circuit such as a resonator.

[0009] The capacitive load includes, for example, another electronic device, such as an ion trap. The capacitive load includes, for example, several electrically conductive elements. This means that the capacitive load has, for example, a parasitic capacitance. The parasitic capacitance arises, in particular, from the proximity of the electrically conductive elements of the capacitive load.

[0010] The electronic device is designed in particular to control an ion trap in a cryostat.

[0011] The cryostat is designed, for example, to provide a cryogenic environment. The electronic device and / or the capacitive load are arranged, in particular, within the cryogenic environment. The cryostat, in particular the cryogenic environment, is designed to cool the electronic device and / or the capacitive load to a maximum of 50 K or a maximum of 30 K and / or at least 0.1 mK or at least 0.3 mK.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment, the electronic device comprises an inductor. The inductor is, in particular, a passive electronic component of the passive electronic device. The inductor is designed, for example, to store and release electrical energy. By way of example, the inductor is formed with a wire. In particular, the wire extends along a curve that starts from a central part of the inductor and, as it circles around the central part, continues to extend to an end part. The strength of a magnetic field generated by the inductor, which is, in particular, characteristic of an inductance value, depends, for example, on a number of turns of the inductor, a diameter of the inductor, and a material of the inductor. The diameter of the inductor depends, for example, on a dielectric substrate of the inductor.The number of turns is, for example, at least 3 and at most 50, e.g., about 10. The inductance has, for example, a predetermined inductance value of at least 0.001 µH or at least 0.1 µH and / or at most 50 µH or at most 10 µH, e.g., about 3 µH.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment, the electronic device comprises a variable capacitor electrically connected to the inductor. For example, the variable capacitor is electrically connected to the central part of the inductor.

[0014] For example, the inductance, the variable capacitor, and the capacitive load form the oscillating circuit, i.e., the resonator. The oscillating circuit can be supplied with an alternating voltage.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the inductor comprises a superconducting material. The superconducting material is configured, for example, to conduct an electric current without resistance below a critical temperature. The superconducting material has, for example, a critical temperature of at least 3 K, at least 5 K, or at least 10 K.

[0016] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the variable capacitor is configured to change its capacitance. A DC voltage can be supplied to the variable capacitor. In particular, the variable capacitor can be adjusted or varied within a predetermined capacitance value range depending on the DC voltage. The predetermined capacitance value range can be at least 0.1 pF or at least 1 pF and / or at most 10 nF, at most 1 nF, or at most 500 pF, e.g., approximately 15 pF.

[0017] One idea, among others, is to form the resonant circuit of the electronic device with the superconducting inductor and the variable capacitor. Advantageously, such a resonant circuit can spectrally filter unwanted sideband noise from an AC voltage supplied to the resonant circuit. The negligible ohmic losses of the superconducting material of the inductor enable a compact design of the inductor for installation in a cryostat. Furthermore, the superconducting material of the inductor ensures a high quality factor of the resonant circuit—even in the presence of a comparatively large parasitic capacitance of the capacitive load. Advantageously, impedance matching of the supplied AC voltage to the resonant circuit is achieved by adjusting the variable capacitor via the supplied DC voltage.

[0018] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, a first input is electrically connected to a first node, to which the inductor and the variable capacitor are electrically connected.

The output is electrically conductively connected to the second signal line, in particular via the connection interface. Alternatively, the output itself is a signal line that is integrally connected to the second signal line.

[0025] Each of the signal lines is designed to transmit a voltage, in particular an alternating voltage.

[0026] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the inductor comprises a superconducting alloy that includes at least the superconducting material. The superconducting alloy comprises, for example, at least two different materials.

[0027] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the superconducting alloy comprises at least two of the elements barium, copper oxide, yttrium, strontium, titanium, magnesium, boron, and niobium. For example, the superconducting alloy comprises or consists of yttrium-barium-copper oxide.

For example, the superconducting alloy has a critical temperature of at least 35 K, at least 39 K, or at least 40 K. In addition, the inductance with the superconducting alloy has a critical current density of at most 10 9 A / cm 2 or a maximum of 10 7 A / cm 2 and / or at least 10 3 A / cm 2 or at least 10 5 A / cm 2 , about 2*10 6 A / cm 2, is. The critical current is the maximum current that can be carried by the inductor without resistance.

[0029] According to at least one embodiment, the electronic device further comprises a dielectric substrate. The dielectric substrate is formed, for example, with sapphire or magnesium oxide. The dielectric substrate extends within a main extension plane in lateral directions that are perpendicular to a vertical direction. The dielectric substrate has, in plan view along the vertical direction, an outer shape that is circular, elliptical, or polygonal, such as a square outer shape or a quadrangular outer shape. A maximum extension of the dielectric substrate in lateral directions is, for example, at least 10 mm and / or at most 100 mm, e.g., approximately 40 mm or 25 mm. The maximum extension in lateral directions can be a diameter or a side length. An extension of the dielectric substrate in the vertical direction is, for example,at least 100 nm and / or at most 5 µm, about 350 nm or 1 µm.

[0030] Furthermore, the variable capacitor extends in lateral directions within a main extension plane, spaced apart from the inductor and the dielectric substrate. For example, the variable capacitor is provided on a carrier that extends in lateral directions. The carrier is, for example, a printed circuit board.

[0031] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the inductor is arranged on the dielectric substrate. For example, the inductor is in direct and immediate contact with the dielectric substrate. The inductor has a maximum extension in lateral directions that is smaller than the maximum extension in lateral directions of the dielectric substrate. This means that the inductor completely overlaps with the dielectric substrate, for example, in lateral directions.

[0032] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the inductor comprises at least one, in particular a single, planar wire. The planar wire is formed with the superconducting material, in particular the superconducting alloy. The planar wire extends, for example, in a common plane oriented in lateral directions. "Planar" means here and below that the planar wire has a length in lateral directions, a width in lateral directions, and a height in the vertical direction, where the height is, for example, at least two orders of magnitude smaller than the width and / or the length. In particular, the height is smaller, e.g., at least 50% smaller, than the extension of the dielectric substrate in the vertical direction. The width of the planar wire is, for example, at least 0.5 mm and at most 5 mm, e.g., approximately 1 mm.

[0033] The planar wire is covered, for example, with a coating. The coating comprises or consists of a precious metal, such as gold. The coating has a thickness that is, in particular, less than a skin depth due to the skin effect at the alternating voltage oscillating at the radio frequency specified above.

[0034] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the planar wire has a spiral shape. The planar wire has the spiral shape, particularly in plan view. The spiral shape corresponds, for example, to the outer shape of the dielectric substrate. This means that the spiral shape is a circular spiral shape, an elliptical spiral shape, or a polygonal spiral shape, such as a rectangular spiral shape.

[0035] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the inductance comprises at least one, in particular a single, wire. The wire is formed with the superconducting material, in particular the superconducting alloy.

This means that the variable capacitor comprises a switchable capacitor arrangement. The electronic switch is an electronic component that is designed in particular to control a current flow in an input direction and an output direction. In particular, N-bit capacitance control can be advantageously implemented by using N segments.

[0038] For example, the switches are each formed with a bidirectional electronic switch. The bidirectional electronic switch is, in particular, a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). Alternatively, the bidirectional electronic switch is a triode for alternating current, a TRIAC, or an electromechanical relay. This means that the bidirectional electronic switch can be switched depending on a gate DC voltage provided by the DC voltage source.

[0039] According to at least one embodiment of the electronic device, the variable capacitor comprises at least one varactor diode and a DC voltage source, wherein the DC voltage source is connected in parallel with the varactor diode. The varactor diode has, in particular, a pn junction. The pn junction can further have a capacitance dependent on the width of a space charge zone, which capacitance is, in particular, dependent on a DC voltage provided by the DC voltage source. This DC voltage is advantageously provided for controlling the capacitance of the varactor diode and thus for impedance matching between the first signal line and the capacitive load connected via the second signal line.

[0040] The variable capacitor comprises, for example, two varactor diodes. This means that the variable capacitor is formed with a varactor diode array. When two varactor diodes are connected in opposite directions, nonlinearity compensation can be advantageously achieved.

[0041] The varactor diode or varactor diode array comprises additional circuit elements, such as at least one additional inductor and at least one resistor. These additional circuit elements make it possible to connect the DC voltage source to the varactor diode and control the capacitance, while simultaneously leaving the oscillating AC voltage in the resonant circuit unaffected, as they are selected to be high-impedance. These additional circuit elements have the advantage of effectively shielding and isolating the DC voltage from the currents in the resonant circuit, to which the varactor diode belongs.
