Quantum Computing with Superconducting Qubits

Superconducting qubits are one of the most promising technologies for the realization of a scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer. Tremendous progress has been achieved over the past two decades, with major steps forward reported worldwide in university laboratories, governmental institutes and a growing number of private companies. As research and development in this area continue at an ever increasing rate, individual players must focus on their key competencies – chip fabrication and characterization, quantum system operation, qubit control or algorithm design.

Zurich Instruments is committed to providing the world's first commercial Quantum Computing Control System (QCCS) capable of scaling beyond 100 qubits. The QCCS contains the classical hardware and software that are needed to connect physical qubits (such as superconducting circuits) to the higher levels in the quantum stack in which the qubit-agnostic programs are defined.

What challenges do we help our customers tackle?

  • Qubit control: Achieve maximum fidelity on all typical gates thanks to low-noise, high-bandwidth and stable pulse generation and a powerful, memory-efficient sequencer.
  • Qubit readout: Rely on fast, high-fidelity readout of up to 64 qubits per instrument at low latency and for multiple states.
  • Quantum feedback: Combine qubit control and readout into low-latency feedback – from active reset on a single qubit to system-wide syndrome decoding for error correction codes.
  • Scalable quantum system control: Operate your control system as a single instrument thanks to global timing synchronization, low-latency communication between instruments and a powerful software interface compatible with leading high-level quantum programming software.
