High-speed oscilloscope for next-generation quantum information processing and communication

这笔赠款用于购买先进的快速示波器，使量子计算研究所能够设计和研究下一代量子通信和处理技术。该仪器将在量子通信和安全实验室以及两个超导量子信息设备实验室之间共享。数字通信和量子信息处理技术一直在变得越来越快，现在以数千兆赫的时钟速率运行。为了跟上这一进展并满足前沿研究的实验要求，我们每天都需要一台宽带高级示波器来探测和分析实验室中多个系统和实验中的快速信号。这项研究将我们的文明推进到量子通信和量子信息处理技术的下一个水平。加拿大作为一个高科技社会和工业经济体，不能错过这些进步。

This grant funds a purchase of an advanced fast oscilloscope, enabling the Institute for Quantum Computing to design and study next generation of quantum communication and processing technologies. The instrument will be shared between the quantum communication and security lab, and two superconducting quantum information devices labs. Digital communication and quantum information processing technologies are getting faster all the time, running now at multi-gigahertz clock rates. To keep up with this progress and satisfy experimental requirements for the leading-edge research, we need a wideband advanced oscilloscope daily to probe and analyse fast signals in multiple systems and experiments in our labs. This research advances our civilization to the next level of capabilities in quantum communication and quantum information processing technologies. Canada, being a high-technology society and industrial economy, cannot afford to miss on these advances.
