Keysight Technologies, which develops electronic test, measurement, and simulation tools, announced the signing of a five-year Master Research Collaboration Agreement (MRCA) with several research institutes from Singapore. The agreement seeks to advance capabilities in quantum computing through the design, measurement, and control of qubits.
The relevant Singapore institutes are: the government’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the National University of Singapore (NUS) through the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore).
Specifically, the partnership will address hurdles in the design and control of quantum processor chips. One key focus will be on integrating Keysight’s advanced Quantum Control Systems (QCS) to execute precise algorithms on novel processor architectures featuring flexible gate designs. Another area of collaboration centers on characterizing qubit fabrication processes and advancing cryogenic measurement capabilities.
As part of this collaboration, Keysight engineers will work closely with university and national laboratory partners to support the design and simulation of large-scale quantum processor architectures, building upon Keysight’s quantum circuit design package QuantumPro.
