Procurement of an AWG lock-in amplifier for quantum information processing

Direct award

Request for tender: Procurement of an AWG lock-in amplifier for quantum information processing.

Description of goods/services

At the department Quantum Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, we are a group working on quantum information processing using superconducting qubits. The QT department has as its key tentative research goal to make a quantum computer, which aims at developing and securing Swedish expertise within main areas of quantum technology (quantum computing, quantum simulation, quantum communications, quantum sensing).

As a branch within our research on quantum information processing, we actively explore various multi-qubit gates, and implement them experimentally in our lab. Our current research necessitates new quantum control equipment with a very heavy focus on phase syncronisation between a comparably large amount of microwave channels.

Confidentiality and the freedom of information principle

After the procurement has been terminated the principle of public access to official records applies. This means that all documents related to the procurement process become public and may be disclosed to anyone who requests access to them. Exceptions may only be made if there is any specific reason to believe that the Tenderer may suffer damage if the information is disclosed.

If you have information that you feel is of such nature, your tender shall include precise details of which information should remain confidential, and how you would suffer damage in case of the public disclosure of this information. Chalmers will evaluate your request and determine whether confidentiality in accordance with Swedish law may be deemed to apply.
