The QCM-RF II is the ideal RF signal generator specifically designed for the control of quantum devices. The unleveled noise performance and high spurious-free-dynamic range makes it ideal for high-fidelity single- and two-qubit gates. The QCM-RF II supersedes the first version and excels to provide even flatter and cleaner spectrum;
70 dBc SFDR can be reached in its full range from 2 to 18.5 GHz.
The QCM-RF II has 2 RF output channels with two independent internal upconversion stages to directly output signals over a wide frequency range from 2 GHz to 18.5 GHz. The module incorporates 6 sequence processors for flexible multiplexed driving and tracking of up to 6 qubits that can span a 700 MHz bandwidth.
Both output channels have their own local oscillator to allow for fully independent operation of each channel.


Advanced distributed sequence processing.

Multiplexed control of up to 6 qubits per module.

Synchronized to all other modules via SYNQ protocol.

Real-time control of amplitude, offset and modulation phase (virtual Z-gates).

LINQ allows for low-latency interaction with all other modules

Sequencer instructions allow constructing arbitrarily long (modulated) signals.

External instrument triggering via 2 marker outputs.
