Quantum physics is transforming the technology landscape and most innovative companies are continuously researching on how they can use it to build products that address challenges that classical systems cannot. In this article we will discuss how researchers are using arbitrary waveform generators / Transceivers to simulate real-world conditions when performing quantum experiments.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is a technique used for determining the structure of organic compounds. Some nuclei possess a magnetic moment. In a strong magnetic field, the magnetic moment of each nucleus will align with the magnetic field of the magnet. If you apply resonant RF energy it will cause the nuclei to jump to a higher-energy state and the nuclei magnetic moments will rotate or process

In this article, we’ll review the Quantum setup architecture, in regards to arbitrary waveform generators, and the fundamental role they have in the process of controlling quantum bits, qubit measurement, and analysis.

We will review and explain the fundamentals of wave propagation, impendence matching and transmission, passive frequency translation, and how the properties of nonlinear frequency summation devices such as mixers - can help modify the signals' frequency. We’ll cover Modulation and the process of encoding information on to generated frequency – and we will look at AM and Phase Modulation and how they are combined in a vector modulator. We will look at both analog and digital implementations of modulation, and Signal Analysis.
