Insider Brief<\/p>\n

Quantum Economic Development Consortium announced the completion of a National Institute of Standards and Technology-funded research program to improve the size, performance, and manufacturability of quantum control and readout electronics.<\/p>\n

$1.4 million in matching funds awarded in 2022 supported work by Amphenol RF, Maybell Quantum Industries, Rigetti Computing, and XMA to address supply chain and scalability challenges.<\/p>\n

The projects delivered advances including reduced size and thermal load in cabling, improved room-temperature electronics, and new chip-level temperature measurement methods across multiple qubit platforms.<\/p>\n

PRESS RELEASE \u2014 The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C<\/a>) has announced the completion of a research program funded by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to make control electronics for quantum hardware more compact and manufacturable. The work addresses the needs\u00a0identified\u00a0by QED-C members in the enabling technology roadmap,\u00a0Control and Readout Electronics for Quantum Systems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2022, $1.4 million in government matching funds were competitively awarded to QED-C member companies to enhance the control and readout electronics supply chain and its capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The results achieved by QED-C members Amphenol RF, Maybell Quantum Industries,\u00a0Rigetti\u00a0Computing, and XMA, in collaboration with NIST,\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0improvements in size and performance of control and readout technologies across several qubit modalities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Responsive<\/a><\/p>\n

Amphenol RF\u00a0reduced the size, weight, and loss of room-temperature control readout electronics in quantum systems while improving overall performance. This advance will enhance room-temperature control readout electronics in future quantum systems in a manufacturable package designed for production scalability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maybell Quantum Industries\u00a0changed the design of control and readout electronics to tightly integrate passive and active devices with interconnects, shrinking the overall size. This new cable design delivers high performance in a simpler, denser, and more integrated package.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rigetti\u00a0Computing\u00a0created a way to measure temperature directly on the chip alongside the qubit circuitry using nanoscale superconducting structures that are\u00a0relatively straightforward\u00a0to fabricate and integrate into existing manufacturing flows. This will make it easier to\u00a0identify\u00a0and diagnose heating issues that can degrade\u00a0qubit\u00a0performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

XMA\u00a0solved three bottlenecks to scaling quantum hardware: cost, footprint, and thermal impact. A new cabling solution increases channel capacity while reducing the cost and shrinking the size of this crucial infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Companies had to be members of QED-C to participate in the sponsored R&D program. Participants\u2019 work had to support one of four goals from the roadmap:<\/p>\n

Reduce the thermal load and physical footprint associated with microwave-control cabling in cryogenic environments<\/p>\n

Locate digital and mixed signal electronics closer to the quantum processer in cryogenic environments<\/p>\n

Enable tighter integration of active and passive components with each other and with quantum devices in cryogenic environments<\/p>\n

Reduce the size, weight and power of room-temperature control and readout electronics\u00a0<\/p>\n

QED-C aims to identify gaps in enabling technologies for quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum networking.
