Keysight and Singapore Consortium to Co-Develop Scalable Qubit Control Architectures

Keysight and Singapore Consortium to Co-Develop Scalable Qubit Control Architectures Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has entered into a five-year Master Research Collaboration Agreement (MRCA) with Singapore’s primary quantum research ecosystem, comprising the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the National University of Singapore (NUS), and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The partnership targets the technical bottlenecks in qubit scalability and connectivity by integrating Keysight’s digital Quantum Control Systems (QCS) with novel processor architectures developed in Singapore. Research will prioritize the execution of precise algorithms on flexible gate designs and the advancement of cryogenic measurement capabilities for qubit characterization. The collaboration centers on the deployment of Keysight’s QuantumPro, an electronic design automation (EDA) environment specialized for superconducting quantum circuits. Keysight engineers will work with university partners to perform full-wave electromagnetic simulations and kinetic inductance modeling to optimize large-scale quantum processor layouts. This technical synergy aims to bridge the gap between initial qubit fabrication and the high-fidelity control required for modular architectures, utilizing Keysight’s hardware for baseband signal generation and microwave frequency control. This initiative reinforces Singapore’s strategic investment in quantum infrastructure while providing Keysight with a high-bandwidth feedback loop for its Quantum Engineering Solutions (QES) portfolio. By standardizing design and measurement protocols across A*STAR and CQT laboratories, the agreement facilitates the development of a unified quantum-classical interface. The MRCA serves as a foundational commitment to maturing quantum hardware from laboratory prototypes to error-resilient, manufacturable systems through rigorous benchmarking and automated testing workflows.
