Abstract

The paper studies how cryogenic control circuitry can be redesigned for lower thermal noise and improved qubit interface stability.

Key Highlights

  • Cryogenic logic cut control noise in the simulated measurement chain
  • The design improves the stability of qubit control interfaces at mK temperatures
  • Integration costs are offset by better signal integrity and fewer correction cycles

Methodology

  1. 1Modeled cryogenic control paths and their thermal noise characteristics
  2. 2Compared CMOS variants under low-temperature operating conditions
  3. 3Measured control stability and drift across qubit interface scenarios

Findings

  • Thermal stability improved when the control plane was simplified
  • Noise reduction was most pronounced under longer control windows
  • The method is promising for labs building next-generation qubit stacks
