Abstract: A system comprises a prober unit, and a control unit. The prober unit comprises electrical probes. The control unit configured to: cause the prober unit to make contact between the electrical probes and contact pads of a target device; cause the prober unit to increment a contact overdrive by a specified amount to increase a contact pressure between the electrical probes and the contact pads of the target device; measure a contact resistance between the electrical probes and the contact pads of the target device, subsequent to incrementing the contact overdrive; compare the measured contact resistance with a contact resistance threshold; and determine whether to perform an electrical characterization measurement of the target device, based on a result of comparing the measured contact resistance with the contact resistance threshold.

Abstract: Identify a plurality of candidate quantum computing chips to be arranged in a multi-chip quantum processor. Generate a current optimized tuning plan for the arrangement of the plurality of candidate quantum computing chips in the multi-chip quantum processor. Obtain results of tuning in accordance with the optimized tuning plan from at least one tuning system. Carry out tuning yield assessment based on results of the obtained tuning results. Repeat the steps of obtaining results and carrying out tuning yield assessment, based on tuning being incomplete and the current optimized tuning plan remaining viable.

Abstract: A tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy device includes a tunable diode laser. A laser driver is configured to drive the diode laser and ramp it within a particular frequency range. An analyte gas container, a reference gas container, and a fringe generating device are configured to receive the laser therethrough. An optical detector is configured to detect the laser after it has passed through the analyte gas container and/or the reference gas container, and the in-line fringe generating device. An acquisition card is configured to sample an output of the optical detector. A spectral analyzer is configured to receive output data from the acquisition card, determine a spectrum of the output data, decouple the fringe spectrum from the measured spectrum, calibrate the spectrum based on an expected ideal spectrum of both the fringe and reference gas, and determine a composition of the analyte based on the calibrated spectrum.

Abstract: A generalized feed-forward method for accurate tunable laser absorption spectroscopy includes generating a laser beam. The generated laser beam is directed down a reference path and a test/sample path. One or more parameters are extracted from the reference path. The one or more parameters, extracted from the reference path, are used as feed-forward, to adjust spectral analysis of the test/sample path to detect a composition and/or concentration of an analyte gas within the test/sample path. The extraction of the one or more parameters from the reference path and the spectral analysis of the test/sample path are performed substantially concurrently.
