Patent number: 10916821Abstract: Metamaterial waveguides and shielded bridges are employed to improve the scalability and routing of quantum computing circuits. A metamaterial waveguide includes a signal conductor that has a periodic array of lumped element resonators distributed along and electrically coupled to a signal conductor. The periodic array of lumped element resonator pairs defines a bandgap within an operating bandwidth of the waveguide. Qubits can communicate within the operating bandwidth of the waveguide and communications via the waveguide can be controlled by changing a center frequency of the qubits. A shielded bridge is used to cross over high frequency communications and control CPW's in a quantum computing circuit. The shielded bridge includes a signal bridge that is elevated and extends over a separate CPW, and a ground bridge positioned between the signal bridge and the separate CPW.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Oskar Painter, Seyed Mohammad Mirhosseini Niri, Eun Jong Kim, Alp Sipahigil, Vinicius Thaddeu dos Santos Ferreira, Andrew J.

Patent number: 9618531Abstract: Technologies are generally described for operating and manufacturing optomechanical accelerometers. In some examples, an optomechanical accelerometer device is described that uses a cavity resonant displacement sensor based on a zipper photonic crystal nano-cavity to measure the displacement of an integrated test mass generated by acceleration applied to the chip. The cavity-resonant sensor may be fully integrated on-chip and exhibit an enhanced displacement resolution due to its strong optomechanical coupling. The accelerometer structure may be fabricated in a silicon nitride thin film and constitute a rectangular test mass flexibly suspended on high aspect ratio inorganic nitride nano-tethers under high tensile stress. By increasing the mechanical Q-factors through adjustment of tether width and tether length, the noise-equivalent acceleration (NEA) may be reduced, while maintaining a large operation bandwidth. The mechanical Q-factor may be improved with thinner (e.g., <1 micron) and longer tethers (e.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignees: CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTERInventors: Oskar Painter, Martin Winger, Qiang Lin, Alexander Krause, Tim D.
