Accelerated quantum control with the QICK tProc v2
Oral-In-person
Abstract
The open-source QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit) control system is built around
a custom in-firmware “timed processor” which controls the signal generators and readouts, and
supports nested program loops, conditional branching and feedback. Version 2 of the tProc greatly
improves on the functionality and speed of its predecessor, expands the number of output channels,
and adds support for new QICK firmware peripherals such as the Xcom communications interface
and a time tagger. In particular, tProc v2 allows randomized benchmarking with arbitrarily long
sequences of computational gates as short as 7 ns per pulse, with no dead time. The flexibility of
tProc v2 enhances QICK’s flexibility and configurability for different qubit types such as supercon-
ducting, spin, neutral atom, defects and trapped ions, as well as applications in quantum networks
and quantum detectors.
