QuantumPro EDA & Quantum Control System
Keysight
QuantumPro EDA:
This session provides an overview of the Quantum EDA toolkit, including QuantumPro – the industry’s first cohesive workflow for superconducting chip design and simulation. The workshop will guide attendees through the design, simulation and analysis of superconducting qubits. In a two-hour session, participants will use QuantumPro and ADS 2025 to create qubit schematics, refine layouts, perform electromagnetic simulations, and extract quantum parameters. Key topics include seamless design flow aspects such as full-wave electromagnetic simulation and energy participation analysis. Attendees will leave with practical skills and resources to streamline quantum circuit development and gain insight into advanced tools and methodologies for quantum computing innovation.
Quantum Control System:
Keysight Technologies’ newest Quantum Control System (QCS) is a fully digital, modular, and scalable solution for quantum computing. It integrates quantum control hardware, such as an RF 16 GHz arbitrary waveform generator and a digitizer, with full-stack software capabilities. This ensures precise control and readout of quantum devices, with synchronization across all channels. The intuitive QCS API and GUI facilitate quick access to quantum experiments and custom pulse sequences, making it a versatile tool for researchers and developers.

Qiskit-Metal
Quantware
Superconducting qubits are often referred to as artificial atoms. The reason is that their quantum behavior can be altered by changing macroscopic quantities such as capacitances and inductances. This customizability opens up the possibility of mapping desired quantum behavior onto chip designs. During this talk, we will dive into the process of designing and simulating superconducting hardware and how Qiskit Metal helps to automate and streamline this process.

Presto/Vivace
Intermodulation Products
Presto is a microwave synthesis and analysis platform that can output and measure signals up to 10 GHz using direct digital synthesis (DDS). In the lecture, we will explain how Presto API functions allow you to interact with the building blocks of each of the two modes of operation, Lockin and Pulsed. We will then demonstrate simple loop-back experiments, followed by a live calibration of a superconducting qubit.

Qblox Cluster with Quantify
Qblox
The presentation will introduce Qblox as a company and provide an overview of its technology, with a focus on both hardware and software solutions. We’ll explore the hardware, specifically the Cluster system, and the software, including Quantify and Q1ASM. The session will cover how hardware is configured for various qubit applications and demonstrate how Quantify is applied in these settings. Real-world application examples will be shared, followed by a Q&A session. The focus will be on the integration of hardware and software, with a particular emphasis on Quantify.

High gate fidelities and advanced experimental control with Zurich Instruments
Zurich Instruments
Room-temperature electronics designed to precisely control and read out the state of physical qubits play an essential role in every quantum computing experiment. Lowering qubit error rates and increasing the number of qubits in quantum processors currently represent two major challenges on the path to practical quantum computing.
In this workshop, we will tackle these challenges by exploring the pioneering Quantum Computing Control System (QCCS) from Zurich Instruments. We will take you on a journey through high gate fidelities, stable synchronization, fast feedback for quantum error correction and more, backed by detailed technical explanations and multiple scientific success stories. We will furthermore demonstrate this with live experiments on superconducting transmon qubits, utilizing the LabOne Q software framework for intuitive and high-performance experiment programming. Join us to discover how Zurich Instruments can take your quantum computing experiments to the next level!
