US Patent 11750179 Quantum controller with modular and dynamic pulse generation and routing

A controller comprises a pulse generation circuit, output management circuitry, and a plurality of outputs configured to connect the controller to a plurality of controlled elements. The pulse generation circuit is configured to generate quantum control pulses. For each control pulse of a plurality of control pulses generated by the pulse generation circuit, the output management circuitry is configured to determine to which of the plurality of outputs to route the control pulse such that a first of the plurality of control pulses is routed to a first of the plurality of controlled elements and a second of the plurality of control pulses is routed to a second of the plurality of control elements.
