Abstract
The present application describes a waveform processor for control of quantum mechanical systems. The waveform processor may be used to control quantum systems used in quantum computation, such as qubits. According to some embodiments, a waveform processor includes a first sequencer configured to sequentially execute master instructions according to a defined order and output digital values in response to the executed master instructions, and a second sequencer coupled to the first sequencer and configured to generate analog waveforms at least in part by transforming digital waveforms according to digital values received from the first sequencer. The analog waveforms are applied to a quantum system. In some embodiments, the waveform processor further includes a waveform analyzer configured to integrate analog waveforms received from a quantum system and output results of said integration to the first sequencer.
