PlannedHardware - sinara-hw/meta GitHub Wiki

This page contains hardware projects that are being discussed and considered to become part of Sinara. These projects range from ideas waiting for further specification and funding to well-advanced physicist-designed projects that haven't been professionally developed/tested yet.

This page may not be totally up to date so you should also check the Meta Issues for latest hardware development discussions and to pitch your own ideas.

Stamper

Provisional name for a TDC EEM.

Discussion here.

WUT designed a 16ch TDC+DAC for a different project. ARTIQ support is planned.

Ingester

  • Fast uTCA ADC

  • =100MSPS. 1GSPS?

  • 8 channels?

Blaster

  • 12 GSPS SAWG RTM card for direct microwave synthesis for sc qubits (issue #183)
  • Details here
  • Development of RFSOC-AMC has overlap. Details here

Thermometer: Temperature Logger

  • Non-real time (?)
  • Eurocard size
  • Controlled via ethernet: RJ45 jack on front panel; microprocessor (same rust/smoltcp stack as IonPack?); simple, SCPI-like text-based interface
  • Same power connector/power supply as Kasli (connector on front panel)
  • Same EEPROM as EEMs for serial number, etc
  • Maybe combine with temperature controller board
  • what kind of sensor: 10k thermistor? PT100? DS1820
  • What accuracy/stability?
  • 4+ inputs

Much overlap with Thermostat_EEM: 4ch Temp Controller

Laser diagnostics

  • Port Oxford WaND to Kasli. (Current version here https://github.com/OxfordIonTrapGroup/wand)
  • Multi channel laser diagnostics
  • Multiple lasers connected via a multi-mode fiberised optical switch (switch controlled via ethernet by Kasli)
  • Digitises Optical Spectrum Analyser outputs (OSA)
  • Logs wavelength on wavemeter
  • Simple feedback loops to lock laser to wavemeter
  • Nice GUI
  • Detect lasers starting to go multi-mode?

Driver: Laser diode current controller

Simple RF Amplifier
