Multi-FPGA Synchronization and Data Communication for Quantum Control and Measurement

A practical quantum computer of thousands of qubits requires a scalable control system with two fundamental requirements: 1) clock synchronization at the nanosecond scale and 2) low-latency data communication within hundreds of nanoseconds. While a few expensive multi-FPGA commercial control system solutions exist, most open-source solutions are limited to single-board radio frequency system-on-chip (RFSoC). In this work, we present a scalable clock synchronization by implementing minimal Precision Time Protocol and data communication framework for mid-circuit measurement (MCM) using Aurora protocol. The design integrates with QubiC [1] open-source quantum control and measurement system.

Electronic systems for qubit control and measurement serve as a bridge between quantum programming language and quantum information processors. With the rapid development of superconducting quantum circuit technology, synchronization in a large-scale system, low-latency execution, and low noise are required for electronic systems. Here, we present a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based electronic system with a distributed synchronous clock and trigger architecture. The system supports synchronous control of qubits with jitters of ∼5 ps. We implement a real-time digital signal processing system in the FPGA, enabling precise timing control, arbitrary waveform generation, in-phase and quadrature demodulation for qubit state discrimination, and the generation of real-time qubit-state-dependent trigger signals for feedback/feedforward control. The hardware and firmware low-latency design reduces the feedback/feedforward latency of the electronic system to 125 ns, significantly less than the decoherence times of the qubit. Finally, we demonstrate the functionalities and low-noise performance of this system using a fluxonium quantum processor.
