The Zephyr integrates our landmark Argo Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifier (TWPA) with an on-chip pump coupler. The integrated low-loss coupler reduces the number of connectors and cables, minimizing space requirements and insertion losses. This makes the Zephyr the ultimate plug-and-play solution for enhanced readout performance.
