Patent number: 11990949Abstract: One or more systems, devices, and/or methods provided herein relate to a process for in-process radio frequency (RF) signal quality analysis and amplitude adjustment of one or more RF devices. In one or more embodiments, the RF device can comprise a portion of a quantum computing system, such as of readout electronics thereof, and thus amplitude adjustment can be at a waveform generator that generates pulses to affect one or more qubits of a quantum logic circuit of the quantum computing system. Generally, an electronic device can comprise an RF tap connected to an RF signal component of a first RF signal chain, and an analysis component connected to the RF tap, the analysis component configured to convert an RF signal from the RF signal component and to compare a conversion result thereof to an expected power output that is based on historical data for a second RF signal chain.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kevin Daniel Escobar, Layne A.

Patent number: 11774478Abstract: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate low power, wideband multitone generation. In one example, a multitone generator device can comprise a controller operatively coupled to first and second digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The controller can apply different delays of a sampling signal to the first and second DACs to facilitate sideband suppression of signals output by the first and second DACs. One aspect of such a multitone generator device is that the multitone generator device can facilitate low power, wideband multitone generation.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sudipto Chakraborty, George Russell Zettles, IV, Daniel Ramirez

Patent number: 11695424Abstract: An apparatus includes a sampling circuit, a sense circuit, and a tuning circuit. The sampling circuit samples an input signal according to a sampling clock signal to produce a sampled signal. The sense circuit determines a scaling factor based on a distortion in the sampled signal caused by the sampling clock signal. The tuning circuit generates an offset signal based on the sampling clock signal and the scaling factor. The offset signal reduces the distortion in the sampled signal caused by the sampling clock signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jarrett Betke, George Russell Zettles, IV, Timothy Lindquist, George Paulik, Timothy Clyde Buchholtz, Karl Erickson, Daniel Ramirez
