Description
- Activities
- Develop, test, and gradually make publicly accessible a scalable fpga basedrfsoc quantum control system to perform direct digital synthesis (DDS) without up- and downconversion, for multiplexed microwave drive and readout of quantum systems, including quantum sensors and qubits. Develop a system where the electronics is able to track the drift of a large group of resonators located densely in frequency space. The system would be able to modify its output to match those multi-tone drift within a few hundreds of nanoseconds. When developed, the algorithm would be able to predict under certain conditions the likely drift of the resonance in the coming few microseconds of time, and feed forward into the output signal before those drifts actually happen.with minor modification, the same quantum control system would be suitable for doing error budget analysis and error correction for a mid-sized superconducting qubit system.
- Expected outcomes
- The overarching goal of the work is to enable computers and/or instruments with larger numbers of better performing qubits and/or sensor pixels.
- Intended beneficiaries
- Academic, government, and industrial researchers developing qubits for quantum computing and quantum sensors for a wide range of applications will be the direct beneficiaries of this work. Improvements to quantum computing will indirectly benefit the public by providing new chemistry simulation capabilities and the ability to solve computationally intractable problems. These developments could lead to numerous advances such as the discovery of new medicines. Improvements to quantum sensing will also benefit the public, for example by making nuclear energy safer and less costly.
