General information
Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job description
The aim of our proposed thesis is to demonstrate that it is possible to integrate at cryogenic temperatures the entire instrumentation chain for reading and controlling quantum components at cryogenic temperatures
qubits. In other words, we are seeking to place in-situ, in the cryostat and as close as possible to the quantum components
(qubits), all the systems that are currently located outside. In addition, to achieve a major breakthrough
we are aiming for a fully programmable microwave chain (> 2 GHz). This is the subject of an ongoing thesis
financed by the Agence Innovation Défense (AID) and the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique (CEA) and a RAPID-type project application.
RAPID type project.
As part of this thesis, we will start at a few hundred MHz. Several main problems
are identified and need to be solved, including
- design and integration of chiplets in System-in-Packages (SiPs) compatible with cryogenic temperatures ;
- interfacing and integrating the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), Digital to Analog
Converter (DAC) and processing components;
- manage high data rates (several tens of Gbit/s per qubit);
- maximum roundtrip latency of 200 ns;
- energy management (a few tens of mW budget per qubit);
- choice of cryogenic stages adapted to the different processing stages;
- choice of independent technologies
