Abstract: Superconducting qubits are pivotal in advancing quantum computing, poised for scale but limited by the complexity and fidelity of their control and readout systems, relying on RF and signal processing infrastructure. This survey serves as a comprehensive and technically grounded review of control and readout architectures tailored for superconducting qubits. Synthesizing insights from device […]
Abstract: This study presents the design, simulation, and experimental characterization of a superconducting transmon qubit circuit prototype for potential applications in dark matter detection experiments. We describe a planar circuit design featuring two noninteracting transmon qubits, one with fixed frequency and the other flux tunable. Finite-element simulations were employed to extract key Hamiltonian parameters and […]
Abstract: In this article, we present an end-to-end workflow for superconducting qubit readout that embeds codesigned neural networks into the quantum instrumentation control kit (QICK). Capitalizing on the custom firmware and software of the QICK platform, which is built on Xilinx radiofrequency system-on-chip field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), we aim to leverage machine learning (ML) to […]
In this article, a quasi-elliptical geometry and the iris technique are applied to a multimode cavity to manipulate the resonant mode in the desired direction for quantum memories. By applying quasi-elliptical geometry, the characteristics of monotonically increasing, equally spaced, and monotonically decreasing frequency intervals between the modes are realized. To manipulate a certain mode, an […]
In computing architectures, one important factor is the tradeoff between the need to couple bits of information (quantum or classical) to each other and to an external drive and the need to isolate them well enough in order to protect the information for an extended period of time. In the case of superconducting quantum circuits, […]
