Quantum computing has the potential to solve problems that are too complex for classical computing. Recently, research has been increasing across the world. To connect universities, research associations and quantum clusters with industry participants, Messe München started World of Quantum.
This new exhibition will debut starting today – April 26-29, 2022 – as part of the Laser World of Photonics global trade fair. Zurich Instruments and Rohde & Schwarz will welcome visitors to the World of Quantum stand A4.120 in hall A4 of Messe München.
In July 2021, test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz announced the acquisition of Zurich Instruments AG, a company specializing in test and measurement systems for scientific and industrial research customers. The solutions from both companies complement each other especially well for new challenges in quantum technology applications.
In the design and testing phase of qubit production and configuration assembly, researchers need to characterize manufacturing processes and test new materials. During system integration, quantum computing control and readout systems such as cabling, signal quality, and synchronization need to be verified and characterized.
Here, researchers benefit from Rohde & Schwarz's cutting-edge, general-purpose test equipment, such as vector network analyzers and spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and power meters. For signal generators, which play an important role in building a quantum computer, the Rohde & Schwarz portfolio encompasses instruments ranging from high-performance, ultra-low noise analog generators like the R&S SMA100B to compact, scalable vector signal generators , such as the R&S SGS100A.
Zurich Instruments, on the other hand, supports researchers in the start-up and operation phase with the most advanced quantum computing electronics and control software to operate up to more than 100 qubits. The solutions perform all three crucial tasks: qubit control, qubit reading, and real-time feedback to enable quantum error correction.
The system is monitored and programmed with user-friendly LabOne® control software to quickly and easily set up and automate experiments.
“In the coming decades, quantum technologies will significantly shape the high-tech industry,” said Christian Dille, global market segment manager for Research and Universities at Rohde & Schwarz. “The potential for industry and research is enormous. We at Rohde & Schwarz share with Zurich Instruments a passion for advancing science and innovation, so we are extremely excited to be able to bring together our comprehensive solutions to serve this emerging market even better.”
World of Quantum is a spin-off of Laser World of Photonics and will take place for the first time in 2022. Additionally, Zurich Instruments has a booth at Laser World of Photonics (booth B5.110), where selected instruments from Rohde & Schwarz will be on display alongside the Zurich Instruments portfolio.
