WSO: RF Challenges in the Design and Characterization of Quantum Computing Hardware

Presentation Abstract
This workshop will cover the latest industry developments and research trends in the design, large volume manufacturing, and characterization of superconducting, ion-trap, and semiconductor spin qubits along with the associated quantum processor architectures. We will start with a systematic and comprehensive comparison of the different qubit families, RF hardware realization challenges and their unique features. Presentations will also delve into cryogenic modeling, packaging, on-die small-signal and noise measurements and calibration at microwave and mm-wave frequencies of CMOS and SiGe HBT technologies needed in the control and readout electronics of these qubit families. We will end with the latest examples of such cryogenic control and readout circuits.
