Semiconductor quantum-limited amplifier

We have built a parametric amplifier with a Josephson field effect transistor (JoFET) as the active element. The device’s resonant frequency is field-effect tunable over a range of 2 GHz. The JoFET amplifier has 20 dB of gain, 4 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth, and a 1 dB compression point of several photons when operated at a fixed resonance frequency. The amplifier’s noise performance approaches the limits imposed by quantum mechanics. Magnetic-field compatibility and opportunities for sensing are discussed.
