A Quantum Kernel and Configurable Electronic System for Scalable Quantum Control and Measurement

Quantum computing architectures rely on classical electronics for control and readout. As the number of qubits increase in a quantum processor, so does the number of electronic channels needed for qubit control (gating and flux tuning), and measurement. In this talk we present an electronic system for scalable quantum control and measurement with applications to quantum computing.

The platform is designed to be configurable by experimental groups to match their needs based on the design and architecture of their quantum device. The platform is also designed to have low latency with provisions to allow for feedback and feedforward loops.

We also present the accompanying software (Quantum Kernel^TM) that compiles a quantum algorithm into necessary microwave and DC pulses. The Quantum Kernel also operates the electronics and the quantum computer. The Quantum Kernel is designed to allow experimental groups to perform fundamental studies on a quantum device, as well as providing a user-friendly platform for quantum computation by others.
