We characterize a novel Josephson parametric amplifier based on a flux-tunable quarter-wavelength resonator. The fundamental resonance frequency is ~1GHz, but we use higher modes of the resonator for our measurements. An on-chip tuning line allows for magnetic flux pumping of the amplifier. We investigate and compare degenerate parametric amplification, involving a single mode, and nondegenerate parametric amplification, using a pair of modes. We show that we reach quantum-limited noise performance in both cases, and we show that the added noise can be less than 0.5 added photons in the case of low gain.
Losses in superconducting planar resonators are presently assumed to predominantly arise from surface-oxide dissipation, due to experimental losses varying with choice of materials. We model and simulate the magnitude of the loss from interface surfa
We demonstrate edge-emitting exciton-polariton (polariton) lasing from 5 to 300 K and amplification of non-radiative guided polariton modes within ZnO waveguides. The mode dispersion below and above the lasing threshold is directly measured using gra
Superconducting coplanar waveguide resonators that can operate in strong magnetic fields are important tools for a variety of high frequency superconducting devices. Magnetic fields degrade resonator performance by creating Abrikosov vortices that ca
We discuss the design and implementation of thin film superconducting coplanar waveguide micro- resonators for pulsed ESR experiments. The performance of the resonators with P doped Si epilayer samples is compared to waveguide resonators under equiva
We demonstrate fast readout of a double quantum dot (DQD) that is coupled to a superconducting resonator. Utilizing parametric amplification in a nonlinear operational mode, we improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by a factor of 2000 compared to t
