Description

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a new system for metrology of circuits comprising multiple coupled superconducting qubits.

The new system should include all the necessary baseband electronics (arbitrary waveform generators, digitizers etc.) and optionally also relevant microwave components (local oscillators etc.) for controlling and reading out at least 5 superconducting qubits.
It should be possible to control all components using a common software interface.

The system must be designed so that it is highly customizable and can be easily expanded in the future. It should include the possibility to implement control and feedback (e.g. active reset) via user-programmable FPGA logic; and be delivered with all necessary software for doing so.
