A significant number of cryogenic low-noise amplifiers (cryo-LNAs) are required for the readout superconducting nanowire detector (SNWD) arrays. It is desirable to have compact cryo-LNAs in place so that size circuitry SNWD array can be reduced. In this study, we first examined bandwidth, linearity, and noise requirements cryo-LNA readout. After that, design implementation a wideband silicon–germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS were described detail. The LNA features two cascode stages with resistive...

The interconnects between a quantum processor and control electronics can be made more compact reliable by placing classical circuits at cryogenic temperature (CT), closer to that of qubits. Low ambient is also favorable lower the noise electronics, which critical for computing applications. Qubit requires microwave signals modulated baseband arbitrary waveform envelopes, so as generate 10ns-to-100ns periodic pulsed manipulate qubit state [1].In order prevent dephasing, carrier should have...

Abstract This paper explores the retention time (RT) properties of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) arrays at cryogenic temperatures (4 K). We provide an in-depth examination leakage sources to elucidate RT behaviour across different temperatures, and we conduct a study on mismatch between DRAM cells, highlighting various trade-offs, including cell area, mismatch, time, power consumption. Our findings offer valuable insights for circuit designers working large-scale quantum computing or...

The analysis of proteins in the gas phase benefits from detectors that exhibit high efficiency and precise spatial resolution. Although modern secondary electron multipliers already address numerous analytical requirements, additional methods are desired for macromolecules at energies lower than currently used post-acceleration detection. Previous studies have proven sensitivity superconducting to high-energy particles time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Here, we demonstrate nanowire...

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), also referred to as Geiger-mode photodiodes, are primarily utilized in photon detection and counting. In this work, we present a measurement of the time-of-flight minimum ionizing particles with outstanding timing resolution, achieved by using SPADs direct particle detectors. We have measured 120 GeV/c momentum pions coincidence time resolution 15 ps full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) at system level.
