1. US20140229722 - SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CALIBRATING THE ELEMENTS OF A QUANTUM PROCESSOR

Systems and methods for improving calibration procedures in a quantum processor architecture are described. For example, a dedicated calibration signal source is built into the architecture of the quantum processor for use during calibration. A single calibration signal source is communicatively coupled to many devices in the quantum processor architecture to provide an absolute calibration signal against which various parameters, responses, and/or behaviors of the many devices may be calibrated, either in series or in parallel. The use of a calibration signal source may reduce the time required to calibrate the elements of a quantum processor and/or improve the accuracy/precision of such calibrations.
