Quantum computing requires harnessing the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems beyond the scope of what a classical computer can handle. It is a broad field with many sub-fields and supporting technologies inside it.
A strategic approach to optimising performance
Optimising performance, development time, and scalability is critical as quantum computing applications advance to accommodate tens, hundreds, and thousands of qubits. This White Paper explores how a strategic approach utilising open hardware platforms and modular building blocks can achieve these goals.
By starting with a well-established and scaleable framework based on open hardware platforms, users can leverage the expertise of industry leaders in signal routing and precise triggering. This collaborative approach thoroughly evaluates trade-offs between development timelines, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) noise, and latency during the design and validation phases.
Advanced shielding techniques, meticulous signal integrity practices, and high-precision routing methods ensure systems meet stringent low-noise specifications. This technology can be customised to integrate seamlessly with existing equipment and housed in streamlined, cooled, and customisable enclosures to meet specific needs.
With a focus on commercialisation from the outset, this approach promotes the development of scaleable designs. This streamlines the path from theoretical concepts to practical applications, enabling the creation of quantum computing solutions that can grow alongside evolving needs.
