Abstract
A technique relates to a circuit for a sum frequency generator. A first resonator is connected to a Josephson ring modulator (JRM), and the first resonator is configured to receive a first photon at a first frequency. A second resonator is connected to the JRM, and the second resonator is configured to have a first harmonic and no second harmonic. The second resonator is configured to receive a second photon at a second frequency, and the first resonator is configured to output an up-converted photon. The up-converted photon has an up-converted frequency that is a sum of the first frequency and the second frequency.
