Quantum

Full Definition

The quantum controller is usually a microcontroller or FPGA that controls the execution of quantum programs by triggering the waveform generators acting on the qubits. Research is done to execute limited classical code on the quantum controller in the coherence time of the qubits, enabling Dynamic Lifting.
