Down-Converted Readout Signal Digitization Module

The contract seeks the development of a high-fidelity digitization system designed to capture down-converted qubit readout signals with the precision required for real-time feedback control in quantum computing applications. The system must enable accurate, low-noise signal acquisition to support the rapid decision-making necessary for quantum error correction and state manipulation, requiring advanced analog-to-digital conversion capabilities, signal conditioning, and synchronization with quantum hardware timing constraints. The solution must be scalable and compatible with existing cryogenic and control architectures used in superconducting qubit platforms. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under the NAICS code 334516, issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology within the Department of Commerce. Performance is expected to take place in Boulder, Colorado, with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, and the opportunity initially posted on July 31, 2026. The emphasis is on technical innovation in signal digitization tailored to the unique demands of quantum readout, prioritizing temporal resolution, dynamic range, and noise suppression to enable actionable real-time control feedback loops essential for advancing quantum technology.
