Quantum computing is a new type of computing designed
to tackle the complex problems that modern computing power is too limited to
touch.
San Rafael, CA – February 3, 2021 – Berkeley
Nucleonics Corporation (BNC - like the connector) will be conducting a free
webinar on Thursday, February 25th, entitled "Quantum Computing."
To most people, including me, quantum computing is still a mysterious technology.
Its concepts of multiple simultaneous logic states makes the
fuzzy logic craze of
the 1980s look sharply focused. Photos of quantum computers built by
IBM*,
Microsoft,
and Google
look like science fiction chandeliers where you expect to see the rejuvenated
brains of Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, or Isaac Newton soaking in a bubbling
bath of formaldehyde with wires sticking out of them. A short paper entitled, "Are You Ready for Quantum Computing" can be accessed on
the BNC website.
Berkeley Nucleonics
produces a number of instrumentation items used by quantum computing researchers.
The video below discusses a quantum computer's Qubit manipulator's requirement
for a highly phase-stable frequency reference, and the need for precision waveform
generation using AWGs. BNC's cryogenic components fit the bill for required
low-temperature environments.

webpage allows you to work interactively with quantum computing.
About Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation
Founded in 1963, BNC is a leading manufacturer of precision electronic instrumentation
for RF/Microwave research. BNC has its corporate headquarters in San Rafael,
California with several additional manufacturing facilities and sales offices
located throughout the United States. Phased Array Antennas are evolving rapidly,
and BNC is at the forefront of this technology shift, capitalizing on these
new requirements with its patented, high performance, software-defined radio
technology, and a PC-controlled, networked architecture that provides unparalleled
performance for the price. In addition to the RF / Microwave signal source line
of equipment, BNC offers Phase Noise Test Systems (Signal Source Analyzers) &

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
