Notice Title
UKRI-4500 Novera System and Additional Chips
Notice Description
Novera qubit system and additional qubit chips - an integrated system consisting of multiple sub-systems
Lot Information
Lot 1
The equipment being purchased is the "Novera" - a packaged 9-qubit device plus mounting tower, and all wiring and components required below a dilution fridge base plate. This product is an integrated system consisting of multiple sub-systems: -Qubit chips (QuICs) packaged in a custom PCB with SMPM connector interface. -Cryogenic RF cables to interface the qubit package to the dilution fridge SMA coaxial wiring. -RF components required for signal conditioning including low pass filters, circulators, isolators, directional couplers. These are specialist RF components compatible with cryogenic operation. -Parametric amplifiers for qubit readout (TWPAs) - these are quantum limited amplifiers specified to be compatible with the qubit readout frequencies and fabricated by the supplier themselves. -A tower with magnetic shields to mount the qubit package and RF components to the dilution fridge. -The whole system supports interfacing up to 72 signals between the package and dilution fridge Also included are packaged qubit chips with a variety of coupling types and layouts: a 5-qubit uncoupled test chip, a 2-qubit test chip a 9-qubit test chip, and an 8-qubit device. Additional information: The term and conditions relating to this purchase are provided in the Contract, which matches the Contract number cited in the narrative to this Purchase Order and are specific to this Contract. Where the Contract number is not so cited, then our standard terms and conditions will apply which are available at :- https://www.ukri.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/UKRI-090123-ProcurementContractData-2658-December2022.pdf
