Performance of a Kinetic Inductance Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifier at 4 Kelvin: Toward an Alternative to Semiconductor Amplifiers

M. Malnou et al.

Summary: Most microwave readout architectures in quantum computing or sensing rely on a semiconductor amplifier, which dissipates a significant amount of power. This paper introduces a new amplification chain using a kinetic inductance traveling-wave parametric amplifier (KITWPA) and a high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) with lower noise and power dissipation, providing a potential alternative to semiconductor amplifiers.

Design of NbN Based Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Polarimetric Plasma Diagnostics

Francesco Mazzocchi et al.

Summary: This article presents the design of a custom kinetic inductance detector (KID) for polarimetric diagnostics of magnetically confined fusion plasma. The device is designed for optimal absorption at 1.3 THz and resonates in a range from 0.8 to 1.1 GHz, with simulations performed to tune device parameters to meet the requirements. The characterization of the thin niobium nitride film and S-21 parameter measurements on patterned thin films deposited on high resistivity silicon substrates are also discussed.
