Picot, T. (author), Schouten, R. (author), Harmans, C.J.P.M. (author), Mooij, J.E. (author)Quantum state detectors based on switching of hysteretic Josephson junctions biased close to their critical current are simple to use but have strong backaction. We show that the backaction of a dc-switching detector can be considerably reduced by limiting the switching voltage and using a fast cryogenic amplifier, such that a single readout can...journal article 2010

De Groot, P.C. (author), Van Loo, A.F. (author), Lisenfeld, J. (author), Schouten, R.N. (author), Lupa?cu, A. (author), Harmans, C.J.P.M. (author), Mooij, J.E. (author)We present experimental results on the crosstalk between two ac-operated dispersive bifurcation detectors, implemented in a circuit for high-fidelity readout of two strongly coupled flux qubits. Both phase-dependent and phase-independent contributions to the crosstalk are analyzed. For proper tuning of the phase the measured crosstalk is 0.1%...journal article 2010

Forn-Díaz, P. (author), Schouten, R.N. (author), Den Braver, W.A. (author), Mooij, J.E. (author), Harmans, C.J.P.M. (author)We fabricated and tested a squelch circuit consisting of a copper powder filter with an embedded Josephson junction connected to ground. For small signals (squelch ON), the small junction inductance attenuates strongly from dc to at least 1 GHz, while for higher frequencies dissipation in the copper powder increases the attenuation exponentially...journal article 2009

Eroms, J. (author), Van Schaarenburg, L.C. (author), Driessen, E.F.C. (author), Plantenberg, J.H. (author), Huizinga, C.M. (author), Schouten, R.N. (author), Verbruggen, A.H. (author), Harmans, C.J.P.M. (author), Mooij, J.E. (author)The authors have studied low-frequency resistance fluctuations in shadow-evaporated Al/AlOx/Al tunnel junctions. Between 300 and 5?K the spectral density follows a 1/f law. Below 5?K, individual defects distort the 1/f shape of the spectrum. The spectral density decreases linearly with temperature between 150 and 1?K and saturates below 0.8?K....journal article 2006
