Periodic Reporting for period 1 - QCAux (Optimized auxiliary electronics system for Quantum Computing (QC) research)
Reporting period: 2019-04-01 to 2019-09-30
The beneficiary of this Phase I proposal (‘QDV’) manufactures auxiliary electronics (‘QCAux’) which link quantum processors to the external operator. QDV has a beta version of QCAux used by QC R&D enterprises and institutions, with positive results and with important constructive feedback as to how QCAux can be improved. End users want standardised equipment with greater practical functionality that allows users to upscale their R&D by testing more qubits in each experiment, but without the extra signal channels that cause signal interference.
