Claim:
1. A qubit readout system, the system comprising: a cavity-qubit system comprising a qubit and a readout resonator, the cavity-qubit system configured to output a microwave readout signal; a lossless superconducting circulator configured to receive the microwave readout signal from the cavity-qubit system and transmit the microwave readout signal according to a rotation; a quantum limited directional amplifier in which amplification takes place in one direction, the quantum limited directional amplifier configured to amplify the microwave readout signal; a directional coupler operatively connected to the quantum limited directional amplifier, the directional coupler configured to enable biasing of the quantum limited directional amplifier to set a working point; a microwave bandpass filter configured to transmit in a microwave frequency band, the microwave bandpass filter configured to pass the microwave readout signal while blocking electromagnetic radiation outside of the microwave frequency band, wherein the microwave bandpass filter is operatively connected to the quantum limited directional amplifier to receive input of the microwave readout signal; and a low-loss infrared filter having a distributed Bragg reflector integrated into a transmission line, the low-loss filter being configured to block infrared electromagnetic radiation while passing the microwave readout signal, the low-loss infrared filter being operatively connected to the microwave bandpass filter to receive input of the microwave readout signal.
