High Speed Digitizer Firmware (HSD) v1.0

The High Speed Digitizer firmware is an FPGA gateware and embedded firmware that run on evaluation kits (either Xilinx ZCU111 or Xilinx ZCU208 ) that digitizes signals up to 4GSPS and 4GHz analog bandwidth, which can be synchronized to the accelerator timing system, providing synchronous sampling frequency/phase digitization. In addition to these capabilities, a proof of concept for a beam position monitor is also present, providing an envelope detection algorithm capable of determining the transverse beam position for an electron circular accelerator, such as ALS/ALS-U.

Automatic Qubit Characterization and Gate Optimization with QubiC

As the size and complexity of a quantum computer increases, quantum bit (qubit) characterization and gate optimization become complex and time-consuming tasks. Current calibration techniques require complicated and verbose measurements to tune up qubits and gates, which cannot easily expand to the large-scale quantum systems. We develop a concise and automatic calibration protocol to characterize qubits and optimize gates using QubiC, which is an open source FPGA (field-programmable gate array) based control and measurement system for superconducting quantum information processors. We propose multi-dimensional loss-based optimization of single-qubit gates and full XY-plane measurement method for the two-qubit CNOT gate calibration. We demonstrate the QubiC automatic calibration protocols are capable of delivering high-fidelity gates on the state-of-the-art transmon-type processor operating at the Advanced Quantum Testbed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Finally, the single-qubit and two-qubit Clifford gate infidelities measured by randomized benchmarking are of 4.9(1.1) × 10 -4 and 1.4(3) × 10 -2 , respectively.
