A non-reciprocal quantum device that comprises a first terminal and a second terminal, a transmission structure connected between the first and second terminals and configured to transmit microscopic particles in at least a partially phase-coherent manner from the first terminal to the second terminal and possibly from the second terminal to the first terminal, wherein a time-reversal symmetry of the transmission of the particles is broken with respect to at least a portion of the transmission structure; wherein the time-reversal symmetry is broken in such a way that the transmission structure comprises a higher transmission probability for particles moving in a first direction from the first terminal to the second terminal than in a second direction from the second terminal to the first terminal.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide a magnetic materials additive manufacturing system (MMAMS) configured to form compact magnetic structures and/or devices. A MMAMS includes a controller and one or more dispensers configured to dispense magnetic material matrix in a high resolution pattern in order to form the compact magnetic structures and/or devices. The MMAMS receives a magnetic device design including a magnetic structure to be formed from a magnetic material matrix, where the magnetic material matrix is configured to be used in the MMAMS. The MMAMS receives magnetic material matrix and dispenses the magnetic material matrix to form the magnetic structure.

Provided is a power divider/combiner capable of improving reflection characteristics and isolation characteristics. The power divider/combiner is formed by a multilayer board, and a strip conductor is arranged in an inner layer of the multilayer board and a chip resistor is arranged on an outer surface of the multilayer board. The power divider/combiner includes vias, which connect the strip conductor and the chip resistor, and includes stubs mounted between input/output terminals and the vias. With this configuration, it is possible to adjust induction mainly during an odd mode of an even/odd mode operation and to consequently improve reflection characteristics of the input/output terminals and isolation characteristics between the input/output terminals.

A nonreciprocal device includes a waveguide through which waves at a first frequency propagate with a first wavevector and with a second wavevector in a direction opposite to the first wavevector; a frequency-dependent device that operates within a frequency range and modifies the waves through the waveguide in a way that is dependent on the first frequency; and a set of couplers to couple the waveguide and the frequency-dependent device. Coupling rates of the set of couplers are modulated to enable nonreciprocal coupling, with respect to the frequency-dependent device, of the first wavevector compared to the second wavevector.
