What the buyer is looking for

A Quantum Orchestration Platform · To run a quantum network node under the BMFTR QR.N project, we need to control our non-local solid-state quantum system, which requires the generation of optical and microwave pulses. Microwave and optical pulses need to be controlled in real time, for spin-photon entanglement, and to implement error correction codes that protect quantum memory from decoherence during the quantum repeater protocol. In addition, feedback is needed to initialize complex quantum systems with multiple checks and conditional operations when needed (e.g. charge-resonance check and spin measurement-based preparation).
