Circulators are nonreciprocal circuit elements that are integral to technologies including
radar systems, microwave communication transceivers, and the readout of quantum
information devices. Their nonreciprocity arises from the interference of microwaves over the
centimeter scale of the signal wavelength, in the presence of bulky magnetic media that
breaks time-reversal symmetry. Here, we realize a completely passive on-chip microwave

Circulators are nonreciprocal circuit elements that are integral to technologies including radar systems, microwave communication transceivers, and the readout of quantum information devices. Their nonreciprocity arises from the interference of microwaves over the centimeter scale of the signal wavelength, in the presence of bulky magnetic media that breaks time-reversal symmetry. Here, we realize a completely passive on-chip microwave circulator with size the wavelength by exploiting the chiral, “slow-light” response of a two-dimensional electron gas in the quantum Hall regime. For an integrated GaAs device with diameter and about 1-GHz center frequency, a nonreciprocity of 25 dB is observed over a 50-MHz bandwidth. Furthermore, the nonreciprocity can be dynamically tuned by varying the voltage at the port, an aspect that may enable reconfigurable passive routing of microwave signals on chip.
