Embedded Data Conversion for Quantum Computing Systems
Quantum computing is inherently analog in nature, requiring high-performance high-speed data conversion in order to interface with qubits – the basic building blocks of quantum computing. These converters need to be embedded on chip close to the qubits to minimize signal losses and noise and to ensure enhanced control and readout fidelity. In quantum computing, as the number of qubits increases, the demand for embedded, high-speed, low-power DACs and ADCs grows significantly, often requiring multiple converters for each qubit. These data converters are essential for managing control and readout functions, and their efficient design is crucial to reducing power consumption and minimizing heat generation, which is challenging for current cooling technologies. The performance of these high-speed converters plays a pivotal role in scaling up quantum computers for more advanced applications.
High-speed DACs and ADCs in Quantum Computing
High-performance, high-speed Swift™ DACs are essential for controlling qubits in quantum systems. These converters provide the precision and timing necessary to match the short coherence times of qubits, ensuring accurate signal generation. Any delay or inaccuracy in conversion can disrupt quantum states, leading to errors in computation
Swift™ ADC solutions are critical for reading qubit states with high accuracy and low latency. These converters capture weak quantum signals and provide real-time feedback, helping to maintain system coherence and ensure accurate quantum computations.
