Superconducting Circuits constitute one of today's most versatile experimental platforms to explore fundamental aspects of quantum physics and to build devices for quantum information processing. Intense research activies both in academia and industry are geared towards building superconducting quantum computers. Fabricating and operating superconducting quantum devices is very challenging and requires dedicated infrastructure, which is available only in very few places in Germany. Performing research on superconducting quantum devices requires experimental setups which consist of a dilution refrigerator to cool down the devices to the required operating temperatures at tens of Millikelvin, as well as microwave components and room-temperature electronics to generate, filter, attenuate, amplify, and digitally process the control and measurement signals. The requested system will comprise all the components, which are required to operate superconducting quantum processors and will thus be a crucial asset for all the planned research activities. In particular, the system will be optimized for the operation of multi-qubit quantum processors with tens of qubits. The ability to control quantum processors at that scale is a crucial requirement for studying quantum error correction schemes and for implementing quantum algorithms.
