How Test & Measurement and Network Encryption Enable New Quantum Technology Applications
Billions are being invested in quantum technologies by the public and private sectors. Quantum milestones reported on by the media follow in quick succession. Visionary applications in sensor technology, computing and communications appear to be within reach. High-precision test & measurement (T&M) solutions from Rohde & Schwarz enable science, industry and public institutions to perform specific tests on individual quantum systems. And the company's encryption experts are bringing quantum based secure communications out of the labs for use in relevant applications.

00:00:00 [Music] the quantum computer is a device that can solve for us problems that you cannot solve otherwise and that's actually that's the promise that we have the growth in quantum computing to be really honest has been driven by the fact that some engineers previously figured out
00:00:28 how to work with microwaves we need the microwave test and measurement equipment to understand whether everything performs as it should or not [Music] the controllability of this system has to be perfect so we have certain experience what instruments what equipment we are trusting and we know
00:00:52 actually that we can rely on the technology that is available with rodent shorts are what what we have bought a lot of our local oscillators so these are really the instruments that would generate the microwave signals which we will shape and send down the fridge both for controlling the qubit and reading out
00:01:13 the qubit we need instruments that just work at the end without thinking about scalable instruments high precision instruments that can control our qubits the specs of the top instruments are really top-notch it's not just turning a few knobs and having a little bit better sensitivity
00:01:34 here or a little bit higher performance there the foundations change we have to co-develop instruments so that we can all move together into this direction and make this quantum computing possible so with companies like rhoda and schwartz we are actually confident that we can actually solve this problem
00:01:54 because we get the support also from industry and that we get devices and instruments that are needed to get to this quantum computer that we actually envisage right now the problems are hard so you need to be better to solve them and i think that's a very strong incentive and a motivator to
00:02:14 continuously improve yourself the eagerness to get a working device this is a spirit the engineers can and will bring to the quantum technology [Music]
