Cryogenic Compact Low-Power 60GHz Amplifier for Spin Qubit Control in Monolithic Silicon Quantum Processors

Abstract: This paper reports the design and experimental characterization of a cryogenic compact low-power 60GHz amplifier for control of electron/hole spin qubits, as elementary building block for monolithic Si quantum processors. Tested at 2 K, the amplifier exhibits S21 of 15 dB at 59 GHz, BW3dB of 52.5-67.5 GHz, and power consumption of 2.16 mW. Owing to the topology with inductorless active network, the amplifier has a compact core area of 0.18 x 0.19 mm2.
