Abstract

A quantum computer hardware apparatus may include a first stage, which is connected to one or more signal generators, and a second stage adapted to be cooled down at a lower temperature than the first stage. Superconducting qubits are arranged in the second stage. The signal generators are configured, each, to generate radio frequency (RF) signals to drive the qubits, in operation. The apparatus may further include an intermediate stage between the first stage and the second stage, wherein the intermediate stage comprises one or more coolable filters, the latter configured for thermalizing RF signals from the signal generators. Related methods for thermalizing radio frequency signals in a quantum computer hardware apparatus are also disclosed.
