Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00557, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Pioro-Ladrière, Michel (Université de Sherbrooke), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Quantum dot qubits represent a promising approach for quantum computing. They require a variety of control_x000D_
signals, demanding complex instrumentation even for few qubits. A scalable platform with synchronized,_x000D_
programmable arbitrary waveform generators and digitizers is an appropriate solution to carry the next_x000D_
generation of multi-qubit experiments. Moreover, real time processing capability of Field Programmable Array_x000D_
opens up new calibration and measurement possibilities in quantum dots. The proposed research merges the_x000D_
quantum dot expertise of Institut Quantique of Université de Sherbrooke with the specialized electronics_x000D_
knowhow of Keysight Technology to develop dedicated and scalable quantum dot qubits instrumentation. The_x000D_
deliverables of this Engage collaboration are (i) a report providing solutions for bridging the technological gaps_x000D_
between Keysight instrumentation and Institut quantique's quantum dots, and (ii) a multi-channel lock-in_x000D_
amplifier built into Keysight's Quantum Computer Research Toolkit. Interaction with Keysight R&D staff will_x000D_
provide unique opportunities for students to gain exposure to one of the largest multi-technological firms in the_x000D_
world. The proposed research is an opportunity for Keysight to establish itself as the instrumentation standard_x000D_
for quantum dots qubits, as the technology scales up in complexity., program purpose french : Quantum dot qubits represent a promising approach for quantum computing. They require a variety of control_x000D_
