  • Publication number: 20240418758
    Abstract: In a method for determining a superconducting impedance matched parametric amplifier, a center wavelength parameter, a gain parameter, and a bandwidth parameter of the superconducting impedance matched parametric amplifier are determined. An impedance value of an impedance matching line of the superconducting impedance matched parametric amplifier and a capacitance value of the amplifier are determined based on the wavelength parameter, the gain parameter, and the bandwidth parameter. A line width dimension of a coplanar waveguide of the superconducting impedance matched parametric amplifier is calculated based on the impedance value of the impedance matching line. A stub dimension of the superconducting impedance matched parametric amplifier is calculated based on the impedance value of the impedance matching line and the capacitance value of the amplifier.
