This repository contains the design and implementation of a high-speed feedback control system on an FPGA, specifically engineered to stabilize lasers used in trapped ion quantum computers.
In quantum computing, laser frequency and intensity stability are critical. Even infinitesimal fluctuations can decohere qubits, leading to errors in quantum gates. Existing solutions often lack the low-latency response required for real-time feedback.
Blast Off Bronze utilizes the custom hardware of FPGAs to provide an ultra-low-latency method for laser frequency locking. This system is designed to meet the rigorous specifications provided by the University of Sydney’s Quantum Science Group.
