摘要

Dissipative sensors typically use linear resonators with impedance matching to achieve maximal signal and fast operation. The impedance matching, however, sets an upper limit to the bandwidth of the readout. In this paper, we present a nonlinear resonator performing the readout of a double quantum dot charge state via a charge-sensing quantum dot. We show that by driving the resonator in the nonlinear regime, we achieve a near-unity signal for a dissipative sensor. This despite not satisfying the sensor impedance matching requirements necessary for such large signals in the linear regime. Our experiments, supported by numerical calculations, demonstrate that the signal increase stems from the sensor dissipation shifting the onset of the nonlinear resonator response. By lifting the matching requirement, we open up an avenue to ultra-fast charge detectors as the resonator input-output coupling - setting the detector bandwidth - does not have to match to the typically much slower sensor dissipation rate.
