QSwitch is a versatile low-frequency signal routing box that seamlessly integrates into your existing setup. By streamlining cable management and offering software-controlled convenience, QSwitch makes the last manual lab operations obsolete. It also enables easy monitoring and control via USB and LAN interfaces, making it a perfect fit for your measurement scripts.
Software-Controlled Signal Routing
QSwitch’s 240 software-controlled relays offer maximum flexibility to connect any Fischer line to a Fischer input or any of 8 BNCs for monitoring and control.
Automate Your Measurements
Integrate entire measurement sequences into experimental scripts saving valuable research time. QSwitch not only permits off-hour autonomous experiments but also encourages the sharing of standardized measurement scripts among experiments and researchers.
Ease of Programming
By employing user-friendly SCPI commands, users can effortlessly control, log, and oversee all signal paths, and embed these commands into their control scripts – such as Python scripts – with mere minutes of set-up time.
Reliable Operation
QSwitch ensures reliable qubit performance with low mutual capacitance and low switching transients. QSwitch is also built with protective mechanisms, such as soft-grounding of all signal lines during power disruption, safeguarding your valuable instruments.
Double Shielded Low Noise Cable
QSwitch uses two flexible, low-noise cables with 24-channel Fischer connectors on each end to connect to the QDAC-II and the dilution refrigerator wiring. The cable comes with braided metal underneath the plastic braid, which helps in reducing noise pickup further.
Signal Routing: All 24 Fischer lines can be connected to their Fischer input or any parallel BNC connector, floated, and soft-grounded through 1 MΩ resistors.
Software Control: Allows remote experiment control using SCPI commands in languages such as Python.
Optimal Signal Integrity: Ultra-low noise, minimal crosstalk, low mutual capacitance in twisted pairs, and minimal transients for reliable qubit operation.
Safety Mechanisms: Built-in protection via soft-grounding (1 MΩ); automatic grounding before signal lines are opened during power disruptions.
Ease of Setup: Includes flexible, low-noise cable assembly and setup instructions to implement switching commands into experiment scripts within minutes.
