An introduction to qubit control in quantum systems<\/h1>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1586423244933{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}” el_id=”scrollto-register” el_class=”container”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”24570″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

In Part 1 of this white paper, we introduce 2-level quantum systems known as qubits, which are used in various applications ranging from quantum computation to magnetic field sensing. We examine a few examples of how qubits are physically implemented, as well as the structure of a generic two-level quantum system.<\/p>\n

In Part 2, we introduce the graphical representation of qubit states known as the Bloch sphere. We also use this model to demonstrate how common pulse sequences such as Rabi, Ramsey, and CPMG can be implemented on reconfigurable hardware such as Moku to extract key information from these qubits. <\/p>\n
