  • Patent number: 11934920
    Abstract: A quantum system controller configured to perform (near) real-time quantum error correction is provided. The controller comprises a processing device comprising at least one first processing element; a time-indexed command (TIC) sequencer comprising at least one second processing element; and a plurality of driver controller elements configured to control the operation of respective components and associated with respective buffers and processing elements. The processing device is configured to generate commands and the TIC sequencer is configured to cause the time-indexed execution of the commands by the appropriate driver controller elements.

  • Publication number: 20240062091
    Abstract: One or more real time engines of a quantum computer provide quantum measurement information to a classical computing engine via a classical function call. The quantum computer includes a controller comprising the one or more real time engines in communication with the classical computing engine, and a quantum processor. The controller is configured to control operation of one or more components of the quantum processor. The real time engines receive a classical call response comprising an indication of a result determined via execution of a classical function by the classical computing engine based at least in part on the classical function call; and control operation of the one or more components of the quantum processor based at least in part on the result.
