The Zurich Instruments PQSC enables scalable quantum processor control through automated synchronization and low-latency communication between all components of a control system. It provides high-level software access to powerful real-time capabilities designed for the most pervasive use cases in quantum computing.
With 18 ZSync ports, the PQSC supports systems with up to 144 microwave channels for precisely timed and stable gate and readout operations. Central data processing enables feedback methods that require global information of the system state, e.g. for quantum error correction, with a latency down to 550 ns including all signal processing.
Decoding algorithms can be efficiently implemented on a powerful FPGA core using a ready processing infrastructure accessible in Python.
