Zurich Instruments has introduced three 8GHz instruments for controlling and analysing microwave-implemented qubits. “The product line, SHF+, enables high-fidelity qubit control for more reliable manipulation of fragile quantum states,” according to the company. “The ‘+’ versions receive a newly designed analogue front-end with reduced noise floor and phase noise.” SHFSG+ is an 8.5GHz signal generator with four or eight channels, depending ...

Advantech is aiming to put artificial intelligence into heavy industry with a computer built around an Nvidia’s 100Top/s Jetson Orin NX system-on-module. This processor gives it an octo-core 64bit Arm Cortex A78AE CPU plus a 1,024-core Nvidia Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor cores – partnered with 16Gbyte of LPDDR5 memory. Called MIC-715-OX, it is IP67-rated, and all the IO connectors ...

QuEra Computing is to provide the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) with an error-corrected neutral atom quantum computer as part of NQCC’s £30m programme to gather six different prototype quantum computers. It is expected to be operating early in 2025. In this case, the neutral atoms are rubidium, manipulated by laser optical tweezers and also operated by laser – ...

Quantum Motion is to build a quantum processor test bed for the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. The prototype system “will be based on the same silicon MOS platform used throughout the consumer electronics industry today, while the test bed forms part of NQCC’s vision to enable the UK to solve some ...

For those of you wanting to design with Raspberry Pi’s much-awaited Compute Module 5 (CM5), the organisation has created a forward guidance document to help engineers get started. Electronics Weekly cannot publish any of it here, but you can download the CM5 forward guidance document from this web page – a sign-in is needed for this – creating a Raspberry ...

Kvaser has created an M.2 slot compatible board that can add four CAN or CAN FD interfaces to a PC or computer Called ‘M.2 PCIe 4xCAN’ (and also 01333-9), it works with PCI Express M.2 slots with B or M keying. It has a main 22 x 80 x 2mm M.2 main board, and four smaller satellite boards (see images) ...

Infineon has opened a quantum electronics and AI-based power analysis laboratory. Established near Munich, its objectives are to develop and test support ICs for ion trap quantum computers, and to develop AI algorithms for the early detection of variances in power systems. ~20 researchers will be employed, and the lab has a cryostat for research down to 4K (-269°C). One ...

To meet Open Compute Project (OCP) requirements, Molex has created a connector system that combines low-speed signals, high-speed signals and power into a single cable assembly. The “data-center product development team collaborated with the power engineering group to optimise power-contact design, thermal simulation and power dissipation”, according to the company. Inside is up to 4A can be carried alongside 10 ...

Kontron has released an ATX server-class motherboard designed to bring Intel’s 4th and 5th generation Xeon scalable processors to embedded applications. Called K9051-C741, it has Intel’s C741 chipset, and an LGA4677 socket for processors up to 350W. DDR5 RDIMM memory is supported up to 768Gbyte and 5600Mtransfer/s. 10G Ethernet is supported through two RJ45 ports and there are six SATA ...

Aaeon has created a rugged 10.1inch industrial tablet computer for industrial, construction, manufacturing and inventory use. “Ideally suited for use in outdoor operating environments, the RTC-1020 features IP65-compliant environmental sealing and has an operating range of -20°C to 50°C,” according to Review Display Systems (RDS), which is stocking the tablet. “Certification to MIL-STD-810H drop and shock stress testing guarantees the ...
