Band-pass Josephson traveling wave parametric amplifier

Abstract:

A bandpass parametric amplifier circuit includes a plurality of unit cells. At least one unit cell includes a first inductor having a first node coupled to a center conductor and a second node coupled to ground. There is a first capacitor having a first node coupled to the center conductor and a second node coupled to ground. There is a second inductor having a first node coupled to the center conductor. A second capacitor has a first node coupled to a second node of the second inductor. The second capacitor and the second inductor are in series with the center conductor.
