WHAT IS QUANTUM COMPUTER ?

 Qubit - the quantum analogue of the classical bit

 A single qubit can represent a one, a zero, or any quantum superposition of those two states
THE ARTIQ PROJECT

 ARTIQ (Advanced Real-Time

Infrastructure for Quantum physics)
is a next-generation control system
for quantum information
experiments.
 Open source!!!
 High-level programming language for
describing complex experiments
 Cooperation with US Army Research
Laboratory, Duke University,
Maryland University, Oxford
University and NIST
Quantum laboratory today
MY THESIS

 Thesis:
Measurements and control system for quantum computing

 Goal:
The aim of my PhD is to unify electronics in quantum research laboratory

Future Quantum laboratory

ELECTRONICS CONTROL SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS

Modern research on quantum information systems poses particular challenges to the control system:
 dozens of signals need to be received and generated (RF 70…120 GHz) with extremely precise timing, in
particular to ensure phase coherence
 quantum error correction schemes require very low reaction latency in response to a measurement
 real-world implementations of quantum gates, and quantum algorithms, involve structurally complex protocols
ELECTRONICS CONTROL SYSTEM
SYSTEM DIAGRAM

 Based on MicroTCA
 Main modules:
 Metlino
 Sayma
 Slow control:
 Kasli box
ELECTRONICS CONTROL SYSTEM
METLNO

 Distributes commands to the other

cards in the crate over the
MicroTCA backplane
 Distributes commands to other
crates
 Receives commands from another
Metlino board or the control PC
 Controls external IOs via VHDC
connectors
ELECTRONICS CONTROL SYSTEM
SAYMA

 Sayma AMC: FPGA,

SDRAM
 Sayma RTM: ADCs,
DACs
 Sayma boards are used
to generate and process
RF signals via high-speed
DACs and ADCs.
