4th Workshop ON Control Systems for Quantum Computing (CS4Q)

A One-day Workshop featuring talks, interactive activities, and paper presentations

Experimental quantum information science (QIS) has progressed in recent years from small, isolated, proof-of-principle devices to a proliferation of many qubit processors, based on a range of architectures, operating on platforms in academia, industry, and National Labs. As quantum processors continue to scale up in number of qubits, novel qubit implementations and processor architectures are also being investigated, each with their own control requirements. As such, classical control electronics systems have been expanding to meet the rapidly evolving needs of experimental QIS. Traditional manufacturers have introduced new products targeted at multi-qubit systems, new startups have joined the fray, and National Lab groups have developed, and open sourced, FPGA-based hardware, firmware, and gateware. As all providers of control systems continue to improve reliability and robustness of their solutions, theorists continue to propose experiments with heavier demands on control, ranging from active reset and fast feedback to mid-circuit measurement, feed-forward, and decision logic. Furthermore, directions undertaken by academia and industry could sometimes seem to be along orthogonal dimensions, one requiring diverse control parameters for novel qubits at small scale, the other focusing on one implementation but scaling up to systems larger by orders of magnitude. Following the well-attended past iterations of this workshop in 2022, 2023 and 2024, we aim to continue to bring together developers and users of control systems to provide a venue for discussion of the field’s evolving needs, find pathways for meaningful convergence among different directions, and underscore and outline the outstanding challenges.
