Аннотация:Abstract— Josephson traveling wave parametric amplifiers can have high gain and wide frequency range, high sensitivity, and low noise, which makes them promising for quantum computing, array receiver readout systems, spectroscopy, single-photon detectors, etc. In this paper, the authors investigate samples of traveling wave parametric amplifiers based on a three-layer Nb/AlOx/Nb superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) structure with a SNAIL (Superconducting Nonlinear Asymmetric Inductive Elements) series array. Each SNAIL cell consists of the kinetic inductance of four SIS junctions and the nonlinear inductance of a smaller SIS junction. The cells are alternately connected in antiphase with respect to the magnetic flux, which ensures a change in the sign of the Kerr nonlinearity and a reduction in the phase mismatch for the pump frequency, signal frequency, and idler frequency. The transmission spectra of the samples were measured at temperatures of 4.2 and 2.8 K in the frequency range of 0.1–6 GHz.
