Techniques for control of quantum systems and related systems and methods

A waveform processor comprising:

• one or more data storage devices that include:
• a first memory for storing a plurality of master instructions, wherein a master instruction comprises a plurality of digital data fields and the master instructions have a defined order;
• and
• a second memory for storing a plurality of digital waveforms;
• a first sequencer comprising a first plurality of logic blocks configured to access the first memory and sequentially execute the master instructions according to their defined order, the first sequencer having a first digital output configured to output digital values based at least in part on results of executing the master instructions;
• a second sequencer coupled to the first sequencer and configured to receive values from the first digital output, the second sequencer comprising a second plurality of logic blocks configured to:
• access the second memory;
• generate analog waveforms at least in part by transforming one of the plurality of digital waveforms according to one or more of the digital values received from the first sequencer;
• and
• output the generated analog waveforms to an external system;
• and
• a waveform analyzer comprising a third plurality of logic blocks configured to integrate analog waveforms received from the external system and to output results of said integration to the first sequencer,
• wherein transforming one of the plurality of digital waveforms by the second sequencer comprises performing a linear transformation of the one of the plurality of digital waveforms based at least in part on the one or more digital values received from the first sequencer.
