Experimental advances with the QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit) for superconducting quantum hardware
arXiv:2311.17171 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.013305
Abstract
The QICK is a standalone open source qubit controller that was first introduced in 2022. In this follow-up work, we present recent experimental use cases that the QICK uniquely enabled for superconducting qubit systems. These include multiplexed signal generation and readout, mixer-free readout, pre-distorted fast flux pulses, and phase-coherent pulses for parametric operations, including high-fidelity parametric entangling gates. We explain in detail how the QICK was used to enable these experiments.
