Session: Quantum Instrumentation

Building a fault-tolerant quantum computer requires a full stack of enabling hardware, from lasers and photonics to control electronics, cryogenics, and packaging. Yet the requirements differ significantly across qubit modalities. This session brings together experts from across the quantum hardware landscape to share what instrumentation their platforms rely on today, where current technology falls short, and what breakthroughs are needed to scale. Attendees will gain a cross-platform view of the instrumentation challenges shaping the next generation of quantum systems, and the opportunities this creates for suppliers and engineers.
