Adaptions and improvements to coaxial metal powder filters include distributing a dissipative matrix mixture comprising superconductive material, metal powder, epoxy, and/or magnetic material within a volume defined by an outer tubular conductor and inner conductor. The frequency response of the filter may be tuned by exploiting the energy gap frequency of superconductive material in the dissipative matrix. The inner surface of the outer tubular conductor may be covered with a superconductive material. For a dissipative matrix comprising magnetic material or superconductive powder particles of a certain size, an external magnetic field can be applied to tune the frequency response of the filter.

Systems and devices for filtering electrical signals

An electrical filter includes a dielectric substrate with inner and outer coils about a first region and inner and outer coils about a second region, a portion of cladding removed from wires that form the coils and coupled to electrically conductive traces on the dielectric substrate via a solder joint in a switching region. An apparatus to thermally couple a superconductive device to a metal carrier with a through-hole includes a first clamp and a vacuum pump. A composite magnetic shield for use at superconductive temperatures includes an inner layer with magnetic permeability of at least 50,000; and an outer layer with magnetic saturation field greater than 1.2 T, separated from the inner layer by an intermediate layer of dielectric. An apparatus to dissipate heat from a superconducting processor includes a metal carrier with a recess, a post that extends upwards from a base of the recess and a layer of adhesive on top of the post. Various cryogenic refrigeration systems are described.

Method of fabricating an electrical filter for use with superconducting-based computing systems

Systems and devices for providing differential input/output communication with a superconducting device are described. Each differential I/O communication is electrically filtered using a respective tubular filter structure incorporating superconducting lumped element devices and high frequency dissipation by metal powder epoxy. A plurality of such tubular filter structures is arranged in a cryogenic, multi-tiered assembly further including structural/thermalization supports and a device sample holder assembly for securing a device sample, for example a superconducting quantum processor. The ace between the cryogenic tubular assembly and room temperature electronics is achieved using hermetically sealed vacuum feed-through structures designed to receive flexible printed circuit board cable.
