Abstract
The invention relates to a control unit for controlling a data transfer between a classical processor and a quantum processor with a plurality of qubits. The control unit comprises a plurality of control and read-out circuits configured for controlling and reading out the plurality of qubits. Each of the control and read-out circuits is assigned to one or more of the qubits. A controlling of the quantum processor by the control unit comprises selectively powering on a subset of the control and read-out circuits during an instruction cycle, while ensuring that the remaining control and read-out circuits are powered off during the instruction cycle. The powered-on subset of control and read-out circuits is used to control a subset of the qubits and to read out data from the subset of qubits.
