### Welcome to Q3-Control
As quantum technologies transition from laboratory demonstrations to large-scale deployments, the demand for robust control electronics has reached a critical juncture. While developing more efficient Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) remains vital, a major bottleneck in achieving meaningful quantum computation is the integration with the classical infrastructure required to process data at scale.
Through a combination of invited talks, peer-reviewed contributed presentations, and an interactive panel discussion, the Q3-Control workshop gathers leaders across academia, industry, and national laboratories to provide a technical roadmap for next-generation quantum infrastructure.
## Key Technical Objectives
Architectural Frameworks: Exploring Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based control platforms and modular RF/DC hardware:
● Real-Time QEC Integration: Connecting control electronics with high-performance backends for sub-logical cycle time feedback loops.
● Cross-Domain Engineering: Addressing specific engineering hurdles such as signal integrity and crosstalk mitigation for scaling QPUs.
● Hardware-Software Co-Design: Bridging the gap between room-temperature classical electronics and diverse cryogenic or vacuum qubit modalities.
