Article Abstract

We present a control and measurement setup for superconducting qubits based on the Xilinx 16-channel radio-frequency system-on-chip (RFSoC) device. The proposed setup consists of four parts: multiple RFSoC boards, a setup to synchronize every digital to analog converter (DAC) and analog to digital converter (ADC) channel across multiple boards, a low-noise direct current supply for tuning the qubit frequency, and cloud access for remotely performing experiments. We also designed the setup to be free of physical mixers. The RFSoC boards directly generate microwave pulses using sixteen DAC channels up to the third Nyquist zone, which are directly sampled by its eight ADC channels between the fifth and the ninth zones.

The QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit): Readout and control for qubits and detectors.

April 2022

Department of Physics and Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA.

We introduce a Xilinx RF System-on-Chip (RFSoC)-based qubit controller (called the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK for short), which supports the direct synthesis of control pulses with carrier frequencies of up to 6 GHz. The QICK can control multiple qubits or other quantum devices. The QICK consists of a digital board hosting an RFSoC field-programmable gate array, custom firmware, and software and an optional companion custom-designed analog front-end board.

In recent years there have been significant developments in satellite transmitter technology to follow the rapid innovation of sensors on-board new satellites. The CCSDS 131.2-B-1 standard for telemetry downlink, released in 2012, is part of the next generation of standards that aims to support the increased data-rate caused by these improvements in resolution.
