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.
Call for Contributed Talks
We are actively accepting submissions for contributed talks! This is a fantastic opportunity to present your latest research, engineering benchmarks, or systems frameworks to a highly focused audience of peers spanning the entire quantum-classical stack.
If you are working on the hardware, software, or architectural challenges of scaling quantum control, we encourage you to submit your abstract until 07/15/26.
Submissions are now closed.
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.
