[0037] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0038] The terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The terms "comprise", "include", etc. used herein indicate the existence of the features, steps, operations and / or components, but do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations or components.

[0039] All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0040] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C, etc.", they should generally be interpreted according to the meaning of the expression commonly understood by those skilled in the art (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include but is not limited to a system having A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B, A and C, B and C, and / or A, B, C, etc.).

[0041] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the collection, updating, analysis, processing, use, transmission, provision, disclosure, storage, etc. of the data involved (for example, including but not limited to user personal information) are in compliance with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, are used for legitimate purposes, and do not violate public order and good morals. In particular, necessary measures are taken for user personal information to prevent illegal access to user personal information data and maintain the security of user personal information and network security.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user's authorization or consent is obtained before obtaining or collecting the user's personal information.

[0043] In the related technology, most of the measurement and control systems cannot read the state of the electronic firmware during operation or can only read the fixed state of the system, which will cause the measurement and control system to consume additional resources to locate the problem when an abnormality occurs. The chips in the various electronic firmware of the measurement and control system are very sensitive to temperature. Changes in the temperature of the equipment will affect the working state of the chip, and excessively high temperatures will even cause abnormal chip functions. Taking the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) chip as an example, in order to achieve stable operation of the chip without intervening in the temperature of the device, a complete negative feedback function needs to be established to achieve gain adjustment. Since the DAC chip will have its own heat and ambient temperature during use, in order to keep the power output of the DAC chip stable, a built-in power meter is required to feed back the current output power to the control chip, and then adjust the gain value according to the current DAC chip temperature and gain value. This process requires the cooperation of hardware and software, requires high material costs and development costs, and will affect the overall integration of the system.

[0044] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a monitoring architecture for the state of a superconducting quantum measurement and control system, including a communication unit, an instruction parsing unit, a control unit and a firmware data transmission interface, wherein the communication unit is used to receive a state detection instruction from a host computer for detecting an electronic firmware to be detected in the superconducting quantum measurement and control system, and send the state detection instruction to the instruction parsing unit, and receive state data from the instruction parsing unit and send the state data to the host computer, wherein the state detection instruction is used to detect the running state of the electronic firmware to be detected, and the electronic firmware to be detected is used to calculate superconducting quantum data in the superconducting quantum measurement and control system; the instruction parsing unit is connected to the communication unit, and is used to parse the state detection instruction to obtain detection information for detecting the electronic firmware to be detected, and send the detection information to the control unit; the control unit is connected to the instruction parsing unit, and is used to generate a target detection instruction for detecting the electronic firmware to be detected according to the detection information, and transmit the state data of the electronic firmware to be detected through the firmware data transmission interface matching the electronic firmware to be detected according to the target detection instruction, and send the state data to the instruction parsing unit; the firmware data transmission interface is connected to the processing control unit, and is used to transmit instructions and data between the control unit and the electronic firmware to be detected.

[0045] Figure 1 A block diagram of a monitoring architecture for a state of a superconducting quantum measurement and control system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the monitoring architecture 100 for the state of a superconducting quantum measurement and control system includes a communication unit 110 , an instruction parsing unit 120 , a control unit 130 and a firmware data transmission interface 140 .

[0047] The communication unit 110 is used to receive a status detection instruction from a host computer for detecting the electronic firmware to be detected in the superconducting quantum measurement and control system, and send the status detection instruction to the instruction parsing unit 120, and receive status data from the instruction parsing unit 120 and send the status data to the host computer, wherein the status detection instruction is used to detect the operating status of the electronic firmware to be detected, and the electronic firmware to be detected is used to calculate superconducting quantum data in the superconducting quantum measurement and control system.

[0048] The instruction parsing unit 120 is connected to the communication unit 110 , and is used to parse the status detection instruction to obtain detection information for detecting the electronic firmware to be detected, and send the detection information to the control unit 130 .

[0049] The control unit 130 is connected to the instruction parsing unit 120, and is used to generate a target detection instruction for detecting the electronic firmware to be detected based on the detection information, transmit the status data of the electronic firmware to be detected through the firmware data transmission interface matching the electronic firmware to be detected according to the target detection instruction, and send the status data to the instruction parsing unit 120.

[0050] The firmware data transmission interface 140 is connected to the processing control unit 130 and is used to transmit instructions and data between the control unit and the electronic firmware to be detected.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic firmware may also be referred to as a service board or service blade, and the number of electronic firmware in the superconducting quantum measurement and control system may be multiple. The electronic firmware to be detected may be at least one of the electronic firmware in the superconducting quantum measurement and control system.

[0052] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the communication unit may be connected to a host computer to obtain a status detection instruction from the host computer. The status detection instruction may be generated based on information pre-input by a user in the host computer.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the status detection instruction may be a timed task that can periodically obtain status data of the electronic firmware to be detected, or may be an instruction to obtain status data of one of the electronic firmwares.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the status detection instruction is transmitted from the host computer, so the electronic firmware cannot directly parse the status detection instruction. Therefore, the status detection instruction can be parsed by the instruction parsing unit to obtain detection information for detecting the electronic firmware to be detected.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a target detection instruction generated by a control unit according to detection information can be recognized by the electronic firmware to be detected, and the target detection instruction is executed through a firmware data transmission interface matching the electronic firmware to be detected, and status data of the electronic firmware to be detected is obtained.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the status data may be packaged and sent to an instruction parsing unit, which in turn sends the data to a communication unit, which in turn sends the data to a host computer in the form of a broadcast packet.

[0057] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the monitoring architecture for the state of the superconducting quantum measurement and control system disclosed in the present disclosure has good scalability and reusability, and can perform extended detection on any type of electronic firmware. Data can be read and sent externally through a unified interface and protocol, which can be quickly transplanted and conveniently maintained. The architecture is highly flexible and can be configured using a host computer, making it easy to use. The architecture only requires a very small cost to complete the status monitoring of the running measurement and control system, understand the operating status of the measurement and control system, and facilitate the location of abnormal situations and data recording. Not only the measurement and control system, but also each system design is highly integrated, and the location within the system is very expensive. The use of this architecture can effectively reduce space usage and reduce material costs and development costs.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the architecture may further include a firmware backup transmission interface connected to the control unit, which may be used to transmit instructions and data between the processing unit and the firmware of the electronic device to be detected when an abnormality occurs in the firmware data transmission interface. The setting of the firmware backup transmission interface improves the stability of the architecture.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection information may include the register address and detection items of the electronic firmware to be detected; the instruction parsing unit is used to parse the status detection instruction to obtain the register address and detection items of the electronic firmware to be detected.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit is used to receive a register address and a detection item from an instruction parsing unit, determine a firmware identifier of the electronic firmware to be detected according to the register address, and generate a target detection instruction for detecting the electronic firmware to be detected according to the firmware identifier, the detection item and the register address, wherein the frame header of the target detection instruction is a firmware identifier, a register command flag and a read-write flag.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the status detection instruction parsed by the instruction parsing unit may include the register address and detection items of the electronic firmware to be detected. The control unit can query the firmware identifier corresponding to the electronic firmware to be detected according to the register address, thereby generating a target detection instruction according to the firmware identifier, the detection item and the register address, and the target detection instruction can be recognized by the electronic firmware to be detected, and the corresponding detection data can be obtained according to the detection item therein.

[0062] Figure 2 The figure schematically shows the format of the target detection instruction according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the frame header of the target detection instruction is a firmware identifier, a register command flag, and a read-write flag, and the detection items and register addresses are behind the frame header.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit is also used to determine the target transmission protocol that matches the electronic firmware to be detected based on the register address, and to obtain the status data of the electronic firmware to be detected through the target transmission protocol that matches the electronic firmware to be detected, and to send the status data to the instruction parsing unit.

[0065] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, electronic firmware can be divided into control type, reading type and communication type according to its function. Different types of electronic firmware correspond to different transmission protocols. The target transmission protocol that matches the electronics to be detected can be determined according to the type of electronic firmware to be detected, and the target detection instructions and status data can be transmitted through the target transmission protocol.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit is further configured to send a reset instruction to the electronic firmware to be detected when the status data indicates that the operating status of the electronic firmware to be detected is abnormal.

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the status data can be compared with a preset threshold of the detection item. When the status data indicates that the operating status of the electronic firmware to be detected is abnormal, the electronic firmware to be detected can be reset, that is, a reset instruction is sent to the electronic firmware to be detected to reset the electronic firmware to be detected.

[0068] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the monitoring architecture can automatically detect and attempt to restore abnormal electronic firmware to be detected, reduce manual intervention, and improve the reliability and stability of the superconducting quantum measurement and control system. The dynamic maintenance mechanism provides a more stable and reliable environment for superconducting quantum computing experiments.

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit is further configured to send an adjustment instruction to the heat dissipation device when the status data indicates that the operating status of the electronic firmware to be detected is abnormal in temperature.

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an adjustment instruction can be sent to the heat dissipation device through the peripheral device transmission interface to adjust the working efficiency of the heat dissipation device and ensure that the electronic firmware to be tested works at an optimal working temperature. The heat dissipation device can be a heat dissipation fan, and the adjustment instruction can be used to adjust the speed of the heat dissipation fan.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the architecture may further include a storage unit connected to the control unit for storing a state detection table, wherein the state detection table includes state definitions, state value ranges, and state operation instructions related to the electronic firmware to be detected.

[0072] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the superconducting quantum computing experiment has relatively fixed requirements for the superconducting quantum measurement and control system, including key parameters such as the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) state, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) state, the sampling state, the number of triggers, and synchronization. These parameters can constitute a set of standardized state detection tables for the superconducting quantum measurement and control system. The state detection table can list in detail the definitions, value ranges, and corresponding operation instructions of various states, providing a clear basis for the state monitoring and maintenance of the measurement and control system.

[0073] The control unit can also be used to generate a target detection instruction for detecting the electronic firmware to be detected based on the storage status detection table and the status detection instruction, obtain the status data of the electronic firmware to be detected through the firmware data transmission interface matching the electronic firmware to be detected according to the target detection instruction, and send the status data to the instruction parsing unit.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit can obtain operation instructions related to the detection item from the storage status detection table according to the register address and the detection item, and generate a target detection instruction according to the operation instruction, firmware identifier, detection item and register address.

[0075] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the units in the monitoring architecture for the state of a superconducting quantum measurement and control system can interact with each other through the Advanced eXtensible Interface Stream (AXI Stream) protocol, ensuring the stability and reliability of a large amount of data during transmission.

[0076] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the monitoring architecture for the state of the superconducting quantum measurement and control system constructed by the present disclosure has good scalability and reusability, and can perform extended detection on any type of electronic firmware. Data can be read and sent externally through a unified interface and protocol, which can be quickly transplanted and conveniently maintained. The architecture is highly flexible and can be configured using a host computer, making it easy to use. The architecture only requires a very small cost to complete the status monitoring of the running measurement and control system, understand the operating status of the measurement and control system, and facilitate the positioning of abnormal situations and data recording. Not only the measurement and control system, but also each system design is highly integrated, and the location within the system is very expensive. The use of this architecture can effectively reduce space usage and reduce material costs and development costs.

[0077] With the rapid advancement of superconducting quantum computing technology, chassis-based quantum computing has become the main development trend of quantum computing measurement and control equipment. However, the internal state and operating state of highly integrated measurement and control equipment often appear as black boxes, which are difficult to grasp intuitively. Figure 3A The superconducting quantum measurement and control system chassis of the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 3B The data flow diagram of the superconducting quantum measurement and control system chassis of the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0078] like Figure 3A and 3B As shown, the superconducting quantum measurement and control system chassis 300 includes a monitoring architecture 310 and electronics firmware 320 for the state of a superconducting quantum measurement and control system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In this process, the interaction between the control unit and other units follows the AXI Stream protocol, ensuring the stability and reliability of a large amount of data during transmission.

[0081] The monitoring architecture for the status of the superconducting quantum measurement and control system can also support real-time query, regulation and reading of key parameters and status in the electronics firmware, so as to understand the current experimental progress and module status.

[0082] The internal state and current operating state of the highly integrated quantum computing measurement and control system is a black box. After using the architecture disclosed in the present invention, the detailed state of the electronic firmware in the chassis can be read through a custom protocol, and the current state of the electronic firmware can be packaged and pushed out in the form of a broadcast package. After the upper computer parses the broadcast package, it can understand the internal operation of the measurement and control system in real time, and find the abnormal points in time when problems occur, thereby improving the flexibility and maintainability of the system.

[0083] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the monitoring architecture for the state of the superconducting quantum measurement and control system provided by the present disclosure has excellent scalability. With the continuous advancement of superconducting quantum computing technology, the demand for measurement and control systems is also constantly changing. The architecture can easily cope with these changes, and realize flexible configuration of the measurement and control system by adding and deleting states, boards and other operations. At the same time, the monitoring architecture for the state of the superconducting quantum measurement and control system of the embodiment of the present disclosure can realize dynamic maintenance of the measurement and control equipment. For example, by real-time monitoring of the temperature in the chassis, the fan speed is intelligently adjusted to ensure that the system runs at the optimal operating temperature. In addition, when the measurement and control system is in an abnormal state, the architecture can automatically detect and attempt to recover, reduce manual intervention, and improve the reliability and stability of the system. This dynamic maintenance mechanism provides a more stable and reliable environment for superconducting quantum computing experiments.
