The Quantum Coherent Device Laboratory is a state-of-the-art research environment for quantum processor unit (QPU) development.
Features
The environment is outfitted with:
- Three dilution refrigerators (Janis JD-250 and two BlueFors BF-LD400) enabling parallel QPU characterization
- A wide range of precision microwave test equipment, such as vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, a wideband (13 GHz, 80 Gs/s) oscilloscope, and multiple DAQ systems
- Multiple standard low-frequency arbitrary waveform generators (~1Gs/s) for up-conversion based control of quantum gates
- Development systems consisting of a fully integrated arbitrary waveform generator (1Gs/s), fast clock FPGA, and analog-to-digital converter (1Gs/s) for feedback experiments
- A dedicated class 1000 cleanroom for a one-stop shop in quantum processor unit (QPU) deposition (Plassys MEB550s) and development, giving full autonomy over the QPU design cycle
A distinguishing feature is use of the latest in high-speed arbitrary waveform generators (2 or 4 channels, 65 Gs/s) for the direct synthesis of quantum gates.
