Phase 1: Core Demo
Tape out the GF45SPCLO integration prototype. Validate optical pulse delivery, Ge PD recovery, local cryo-CMOS correction, LO selection, and 4 K cryostat performance.
Quantum Control Infrastructure
Tynana develops low-power qubit-control infrastructure based on hybrid cryogenic photonics, CMOS electronics, and RF control for superconducting quantum systems.
What we build
Tynana is building a hybrid photonic/CMOS controller that distributes shared optical pulse templates into the cryogenic stage, then uses local cryogenic electronics for amplitude, timing, gating, calibration, LO phase selection, and microwave upconversion.
The goal is simple: reduce cryogenic wiring, 4 K power, per-channel GHz DACs, and waveform memory while preserving in-fridge programmability for calibrated quantum gates.
Architecture
Tynana’s architecture separates waveform generation from per-qubit control. Shared optical pulse templates are distributed into the cryogenic environment, where local photonic and CMOS circuits select, shape, gate, and upconvert the signals for individual superconducting qubits.
This approach is designed to reduce room-temperature wiring, duplicated waveform memory, and per-channel high-speed electronics while preserving local calibration and programmability near the quantum processor.
Research & IP
Tynana’s controller architecture is based on ongoing research in cryogenic photonic/CMOS control for scalable superconducting-qubit systems.
A provisional patent application has been filed covering core aspects of the architecture, and related technical work is available on arXiv.
Ecosystem
Tynana is a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program. We plan to use accelerated computing for simulation, calibration, waveform optimization, and future digital-twin workflows.
Roadmap
Tape out the GF45SPCLO integration prototype. Validate optical pulse delivery, Ge PD recovery, local cryo-CMOS correction, LO selection, and 4 K cryostat performance.
Build Tynana’s first dedicated qubit-controller chip/module, launch pilot engagements with superconducting-qubit teams, and validate the controller architecture with cryogenic photonic, CMOS, and RF components.
Move toward TFLN photonics, InGaAs PDs, and cryo-CMOS for higher-performance control, advanced readout, and future microwave-optical transducer paths.
Who we work with
Tynana is designed for research groups, quantum-hardware companies, and system-integration teams that need to scale superconducting-qubit control beyond one-off laboratory setups.
We are especially interested in pilot discussions with teams building multi-qubit superconducting processors, cryogenic photonic links, and next-generation quantum-control stacks.
