Integration of classical electronics for quantum computing tasks in superconducting qubit systems

The acts of controlling and measuring superconducting qubits for quantum information processing rely on classical electronic systems. Although metrics primarily associated to the quantum system, such as qubit coherence time and gate fidelity, are typically quoted as benchmarks for quantum processor quality, the integration of classical hardware and associated software with the quantum device plays a critical role both in these metrics and in the overall performance of a quantum computer.

In this talk we will discuss some important details of this architecture for superconducting quantum processors, touching on current limitations and future outlook.
