About this programme

Quantum Electronics: RF, Microwave & Readout Chains introduces the electronic systems that enable the control, measurement, and operation of quantum devices. The course covers the fundamentals of radio frequency (RF) and microwave engineering, signal generation, amplification, filtering, cryogenic electronics, and qubit readout techniques. Learners will understand how microwave signals are used to manipulate qubits and how readout chains convert fragile quantum signals into measurable data with minimal noise. Through practical examples and real-world quantum computing architectures, participants will gain insight into the hardware that powers modern quantum processors.

What you will achieve

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

Explain the role of RF and microwave electronics in quantum computing systems.
Understand the principles of signal generation, transmission, and processing for qubit control.
Identify the key components of microwave and RF hardware, including mixers, amplifiers, filters, and attenuators.
Describe cryogenic electronics and their importance in preserving quantum coherence.
Explain how qubit readout chains operate and how measurement signals are processed.
Analyse sources of noise and signal loss in quantum electronic systems.
Understand the architecture of a complete quantum control and readout system.
Apply best practices for designing reliable RF and microwave signal chains for quantum experiments.

Prerequisites & Eligibility
