As the field of Quantum Computing further emerges, specialized
and
dedicated electronics are required. Our company works in close collaboration with ion-trap research
institutions and supports
among others, the QUELE-project with specialized
electronics.

Picture: In a planar trap
quantum
computing is envisaged by allowing single electrons
communicate with each other. Detection
of Quantum States, Read-Out and Manipulation is supported by
using cryogenic circuitry.

Ultra-stable voltage sources for qubit
biasing and cryo
electronics for operation down and below 4.2K are important elements here.
Ultra highly stable voltage sources on the 10-7-level help to
achieve a
long coherence time for quantum states, whereas cryogenic amplifiers, down
converters,
and Q-switches provide the accessibility into a cryogenic environment, which
is usually
difficult to access. Electronics currently under development comprise
Gallium-Arsenide
(GaAs) based technology (filters, mixers, amplifiers) as well as SiGe,
heterostructure
BJT's.
