2. 1. Parametrically pumped superconducting circuits

   Author : Philip Krantz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SQUID; circuit quantum electrodynamics; Josephson junction; Superconducting circuits; resonators; parametric oscillators; quantum bit; pumpistor; quantum information;

   Abstract : In this licentiate thesis, I present the design, fabrication, and characterization of superconducting parametric resonators, for use in quantum information processing. These devices are quarter-wavelength coplanar waveguide resonators (~5 GHz), terminated at one end by a non-linear inductance provided by a SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device).

4. 2. Tunable superconducting resonators, subharmonic oscillations and manipulation of microwaves

   Author : Ida-Maria Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; circuit-QED; tunable superconducting resonators; subharmonic oscillations; parametric oscillations; microwave manipulation; frequency down-conversion; driven nonlinear systems; superconducting resonator; SQUID; tunable resonator;

   Abstract : In this thesis I present different types of manipulations of microwave fields using tunable superconducting resonators. A resonator is made tunable by adding one or more superconducting quantum interference devices, SQUIDs. The SQUID consists of a superconducting loop with two Josephson junctions and acts as a tunable nonlinear inductor. READ MORE

5. 3. Nonlinear dynamics of Josephson Junction Chains and Superconducting Resonators

   Author : Adem Ergül; David B. Haviland; Per Delsing; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Superconductivity; Josephson Junction; SQUID; Superconducting Resonators;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the results of the experimental studies on two kindof Superconducting circuits: one-dimensional Josephson junction chains andsuperconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonators. One-dimensionalJosephson junction chains are constructed by connecting many Superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) in series. READ MORE

6. 4. Fractal superconducting resonators for the interrogation of two-level systems

   Author : Sebastian Erik de Graaf; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cooper-pair box; decoherence; electron spin resonance; two-level systems; atomic force microscopy; quasiparticles; near-field scanning microwave microscopy; Superconducting resonators; circuit quantum electrodynamics;

   Abstract : In this thesis we use high-Q superconducting thin-film microwave resonators to interact with several types of quantum mechanical two-level systems. Such a resonator is used as the central building block in a cryogenic near-field scanning microwave microscope (NSMM) to reach a completely new regime of NSMM operation. READ MORE

7. 5. Quantum acoustics with superconducting circuits

   Author : Gustav Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

   Abstract : The past 20 years has seen rapid developments in circuit quantum electrodynamics, where superconducting qubits and resonators are used to control and study quantum light-matter interaction at a fundamental level. The development of this field is strongly influenced by quantum information science and the prospect of realizing quantum computation, but also opens up opportunities for combinations of different physical systems and research areas.
