Building the Quantum Control Stack

Control electronics are a critical component of quantum experiments, and their limitations frequently constrain the space of accessible research. These constraints typically do not stem from analog performance, but from underlying architecture designed for test-and-measurement applications rather than tight classical-quantum integration. In this talk I will discuss the real-time control system developed by Quantum Machines. By combining classical processing, pulse generation, measurement, and feedback in a unique processor architecture, the control system is able to interact with quantum devices on coherence timescales. The talk will examine a number of use cases, including rapid device characterization and stabilization, analog feedback for quantum networks, maximizing QPU uptime with sophisticated initialization techniques, and laying the infrastructure for integrating full-fledged quantum computers within HPC centers. Speaker: Elisha Svetitsky is a Scientific Business Development Manager with Quantum Machines, and holds a PhD in physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he studied multi-level qubit control schemes.
