Quantum control of an oscillator using a stimulated Josephson nonlinearity

Josephson junction mixer using an external local oscillator

2014 Mixing experiments on niobium point contacts are reported for conversion from 95 GHz to 140 MHz. The conversion efficiency is less than predicted by the highly damped weak link model. The discrepancy is presumably due to mixing with higher harmonics of the local oscillator. The lowest noise temperature measured was T ~ 100 K which is of the same order as recently reported for cooled Schott...

Microwave spectroscopy on a double quantum dot with an on-chip Josephson oscillator

We present measurements on microwave spectroscopy on a double quantum dot with an on-chip microwave source. The quantum dots are realized in the two-dimensional electron gas of an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure and are weakly coupled in series by a tunneling barrier forming an ’ionic’ molecular state. As a microwave source we employ a Josephson oscillator formed by a long Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb junction. W...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
