Amplifiers are ubiquitous in electronics and play a fundamental role in a wide range of scientific measurements. From a user's perspective, an ideal amplifier has very low noise, operates over a broad frequency range, and has a high dynamic…
The ability to create linear systems that manifest broadband nonreciprocal wave propagation would provide for exquisite control over acoustic signals for electronic filtering in communication and noise control. Until now, acoustic…
The emergence of "acoustic diode" (AD) capable of rectifying acoustic wave like electrical diodes do to electricity has been believed to be able to offer unconventional manipulation on sound, e.g., to isolate the wrong-way reflection, and…
Absorbing airborne noise at frequencies below 300 Hz is a particularly vexing problem due to the absence of natural sound absorbing materials at these frequencies. The prevailing solution for low-frequency sound absorption is the use of…
Non-reciprocal devices, which have different transmission coefficients for propagating waves in opposite directions, are crucial components in many low noise quantum measurements. In most schemes, magneto-optical effects provide the…

Quantum mechanics imposes that any amplifier that works independently on the phase of the input signal has to introduce some excess noise. The impossibility of such a noiseless amplifier is rooted into unitarity and linearity of quantum…
High fidelity qubit readout is a cornerstone for quantum information protocols. In traditional superconducting qubit readout, a chain of microwave amplifiers and nonreciprocal components aid in detecting the qubit's state with tolerable…

This work is a study of acoustic non-reciprocity exhibited by a passive one-dimensional linear waveguide incorporating two local strongly nonlinear, asymmetric gates. Two local nonlinear gates break the symmetry and linearity of the…
