Quantum

A roadmap for quantum control electronics

Quantum systems get much of the attention, but scalable control electronics will decide how far those systems can move beyond laboratory-scale demonstrations.

The hidden systems problem behind quantum scale-up

Control stacks face pressure from cryogenic operation, signal fidelity, footprint, and energy use. Those constraints make classical electronics design a first-order challenge in quantum hardware roadmaps.

imec’s relevance here comes from system integration experience: how to bring semiconductor design discipline to a field where the surrounding electronics can limit progress as much as the qubits themselves.
