Sven Schmitt will present his Bachelor Thesis on: Benchmarking the Runtime of Qubit Control Electronics

Motivated by the transformative abilities of quantum computing, this thesis presents the development of a software framework for programming and executing quantum circuits on qubit-based systems. A central focus is the integration of benchmarking methodologies for the runtime of these quantum circuits, a critical performance metric for the scalability and advancement of quantum technologies. Besides this detailed analysis of runtimes, a comparative evaluation across different hardware platforms is performed.
The open-source Qibo framework serves as the foundation for this task, enabling development at a higher coding level. Qibo was integrated into qiclib, a custom Application Programming Interface (API) developed by the Institute for Data Processing and Electronics (IPE), to interface with the QiController, a control and readout electronics stack also developed at IPE.
The framework developed as part of this thesis is validated through a series of quantum experiments, such as resonator spectroscopy and qubit spectroscopy, by measuring the runtime and benchmarking performance against pre-existing measurements from commercial quantum control systems, including Zurich Instruments, Quantum Machines and Qblox.
