A quantum experiment is difficult. Many factors interfere with obtaining accurate results, including noise, interference, individual qubit behaviour and the effects multiple qubits can have on each other. Controlling the qubit state, its entanglement, and ensuring controlled and stable measurement requires the precise application of electromagnetic waves. In this webinar, Mark Elo covers microwave control systems, which include methods of synthesis, pulse shaping and modulation techniques used in both semiconductor- and photon-based qubits. He also covers analogue signal-generation techniques common in many systems today, plus direct to microwave digital signal generation and measurement based on new DAC and ADC technology.

Mark Elo is the US general manager for Tabor Electronics. He began his career as a design engineer in Hewlett-Packard’s Microwave Division in 1990 and has since held various senior engineering and management positions at Agilent Technologies, Anritsu, Gigatronics and Keithley Instruments in R&D, marketing and business development. Elo has almost 30 years of test and measurement experience in microwave instrumentation, especially with respect to signal simulation and spectrum analysis – specializing in product definition and product realization of RF and microwave-frequency synthesis and analysis platforms. He has also held the chair for the AXIe marketing committee, participated in wireless standards and has published multiple articles.
