Ralliant (Tektronix)

Tektronix AWGs marketed for superconducting qubit control

Published by FyncaResearch checked How we research

Where it fits in a quantum computer

Tektronix, a Ralliant subsidiary, markets its AWG5200 arbitrary waveform generator for quantum research, saying superconducting-qubit controllers need wideband, coherent multi-channel signal generation and quoting eight synchronized channels at about $10,000 per channel. Ralliant separated from Fortive on June 28, 2025 and trades on the NYSE as RAL.

What the evidence establishes

Lab & test products

Disclosed: Tektronix’s quantum research page presents the AWG5200 for generating superconducting-qubit control pulses; no quantum-computer customer is named.

A documented cryogenic, vacuum, microwave or test-and-measurement product used in physics labs or electronics test. Adoption in quantum computers is not established by the cited source.

Keep in perspective

Tektronix names no quantum-computer customer or installation, and the AWG5200 is a general-purpose lab instrument; the undated page refers to IBM’s then-new 50-qubit system. Ralliant’s 10-K mentions quantum computing only as one driver of communications test demand and gives no quantum revenue.

Diversified business exposure. This describes the breadth or role of the business; it is not an investment rating. A quantum-computing product, design-in or partnership does not by itself establish material quantum revenue, market share, or future returns.

Connections to the assembly

These links explain the technology relationship. The model is illustrative and does not represent an actual manufacturer’s bill of materials.

Waveform generators

Arbitrary waveform generators and fast digital-to-analog converters that synthesize the nanosecond pulses of every gate.

Scope of the company links: Keysight sells complete RF AWG modules (four-channel M5300A, DC–16 GHz) in its Quantum Control System, installed in a 256-qubit computer in Japan. Many controllers now synthesize pulses directly with RF data converters: AMD RFSoCs in the open-source QICK and in Zurich Instruments’ QCCS, and Analog Devices AD9082s in QuEL’s QuBE. Tektronix (Ralliant) markets its AWG5200 for superconducting-qubit control without a named customer. Zurich Instruments, Qblox, QuEL, Intermodulation Products and Spectrum Instrumentation are private. Texas Instruments’ bias DACs in QICK set DC flux levels rather than pulses, so TI is mapped under microwave sources instead. QuantumCTek’s ez-Q Engine measurement and control system (8 drive and 2 readout channels per unit) serves the Zuchongzhi superconducting computers, per its own product pages.
