High-quality superconducting oscillators have been successfully used for quantum control and readout devices in conjunction with superconducting qubits. Also, it is well known that squeezed states can improve the accuracy of measurements to subquantum, or at least subthermal, levels. Here we show theoretically how to produce squeezed states of microwave radiation in a superconducting oscillator with tunable parameters. The circuit impedance, and thus the resonance frequency, can be changed by controlling the state of an RF SQUID inductively coupled to the oscillator. By repeatedly shifting the resonance frequency between any two values, it is possible to produce squeezed and subthermal states of the electromagnetic field in the (0.1--10) GHz range, even when the relative frequency change is small. We propose experimental protocols for the verification of squeezed state generation, and for their use to improve the readout fidelity when such oscillators serve as quantum transducers.

In parametric systems, squeezed states of radiation can be generated via extra work done by external sources. This eventually increases the entropy of the system despite the fact that squeezing is reversible. We investigate the entropy increase due t
o squeezing and show that it is quadratic in the squeezing rate and may become important in the repeated operation of tunable oscillators (quantum buses) used to connect qubits in various proposed schemes for quantum computing.
We have generated frequency combs spanning 0.5 to 20 GHz in superconducting half wave resonators at T=3 K. Thin films of niobium-titanium nitride enabled this development due to their low loss, high nonlinearity, low frequency dispersion, and high cr
itical temperature. The combs nucleate as sidebands around multiples of the pump frequency. Selection rules for the allowed frequency emission are calculated using perturbation theory and the measured spectrum is shown to agree with the theory. The sideband spacing is measured to be accurate to 1 part in 10 million. The sidebands coalesce into a continuous comb structure that has been observed to cover at least 6 octaves in frequency.
Decoherence in quantum bit circuits is presently a major limitation to their use for quantum computing purposes. We present experiments, inspired from NMR, that characterise decoherence in a particular superconducting quantum bit circuit, the quantro
nium. We introduce a general framework for the analysis of decoherence, based on the spectral densities of the noise sources coupled to the qubit. Analysis of our measurements within this framework indicates a simple model for the noise sources acting on the qubit. We discuss various methods to fight decoherence.
We demonstrated microwave-induced cooling in a superconducting flux qubit. The thermal population in the first-excited state of the qubit is driven to a higher-excited state by way of a sideband transition. Subsequent relaxation into the ground state
results in cooling. Effective temperatures as low as Teff~ 3 millikelvin are achieved for bath temperatures Tbath = 30 - 400 millikelvin, a cooling factor between 10 and 100. This demonstration provides an analog to optical cooling of trapped ions and atoms and is generalizable to other solid-state quantum systems. Active cooling of qubits, applied to quantum information science, provides a means for qubit-state preparation with improved fidelity and for suppressing decoherence in multi-qubit systems.
We report magnetic field dependent magnetization and microwave impedance measurements on a MgB2 superconductor prepared by high pressure synthesis. We find that the upper critical field is linearly dependent on temperature near Tc and the dc irrevers
ibility field exponent is ~1.4. The microwave data display an excess surface resistance below Tc which is neither observed in low Tc nor in high temperature superconductors (HTSC). The real part of the complex conductivity, sigma1, shows a huge maximum below Tc and the imaginary part, sigma2, is linear for temperatures less than 20 K, which can not be simply accounted for by the weak coupling BCS model with an s-wave superconducting order parameter. We speculate that this may be due to the two gaps reported by other studies. Unlike measurements on the high temperature superconducting cuprates, we find no evidence of weak-links in the superconducting state. By inverting the magnetic field dependent impedance data, we find a vortex depinning frequency that decreases with increasing magnetic field and evidence for an anisotropic upper critical magnetic field.
