The QICK Box: A Modular RF Front-End System for Quantum Control and Readout
L. Arnaldi, D. Martin, S. Sussman +11
The QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit), first introduced in 2022, is a standalone open source control system for quantum information science. Since then, QICK has been migr…
XCOM: Full Mesh Network Synchronization and Low-Latency Communication for QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit)
Diego Martin, Luis H. Arnaldi, Kenneth Treptow +5
Quantum computing experiments and testbeds with large qubit counts have until recently been a privilege afforded only to large companies or quantum technologies where scaling to hu…
Astronomical Spectroscopy with Skipper CCDs: First Results from a Skipper CCD Focal Plane Prototype at SIFS
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Brandon Roach +22
We present the first on-sky results from an ultra-low-readout-noise Skipper CCD focal plane prototype for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). The Skipper CCD focal plane c…
Experimental advances with the QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit) for superconducting quantum hardware
Chunyang Ding, Martin Di Federico, Michael Hatridge +14
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 ena…
The QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit): Readout and control for qubits and detectors
Leandro Stefanazzi, Ken Treptow, Neal Wilcer +12
We introduce a Xilinx RFSoC-based qubit controller (called the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK for short) which supports the direct synthesis of control pulses with ca…
Low-latency NuMI Trigger for the CHIPS-5 Neutrino Detector
Petr Mánek, Simeon Bash, John Cesar +8
The CHIPS R&D project aims to develop affordable large-scale water Cherenkov neutrino detectors for underwater deployment. In 2019, a 5kt prototype detector CHIPS-5 was deployed in…
Second Generation Readout For Large Format Photon Counting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Neelay Fruitwala, Paschal Strader, Gustavo Cancelo +10
We present the development of a second generation digital readout system for photon counting microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays operating in the optical and near-I…
Low Threshold Acquisition controller for Skipper CCDs
Gustavo Cancelo, Claudio Chavez, Fernando Chierchie +10
The development of the Skipper Charge Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) has been a major technological breakthrough for sensing very weak ionizing particles. The sensor allows to reac…
DARKNESS: A Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector Integral Field Spectrograph for High-Contrast Astronomy
Seth R. Meeker, Benjamin A. Mazin, Alex B. Walter +21
We present DARKNESS (the DARK-speckle Near-infrared Energy-resolving Superconducting Spectrophotometer), the first of several planned integral field spectrographs to use optical/ne…
First measurement of muon-neutrino disappearance in NOvA
P. Adamson, C. Ader, M. Andrews +257
This paper reports the first measurement using the NOvA detectors of disappearance in a beam. The analysis uses a 14 kton-equivalent exposure of p…
First measurement of electron neutrino appearance in NOvA
P. Adamson, C. Ader, M. Andrews +257
We report results from the first search for transitions by the NOvA experiment. In an exposure equivalent to protons-on-target in the upgraded NuMI…
