The Quantum Ecosystem

Course Description

Quantum systems are among the most demanding test environments in engineering today. Join Rohde & Schwarz and Zurich Instruments for a seminar that covers the full stack – from the RF and microwave instrumentation that underpins quantum hardware characterization, to the specialized control and readout platforms that make quantum computing operational. General-purpose RF and microwave tools play a larger role in quantum development than many engineers expect. You’ll see exactly where they fit, what performance requirements matter, and how they’re applied in practice. On the control side, the requirements are uniquely demanding – noise performance, qubit calibration, deterministic timing, and quantum error correction all get dedicated attention, grounded in real examples from leading research and industrial environments. Two expert teams. One end-to-end view of the quantum test and measurement landscape.
