SUMMARY:RFSoC-PYNQ Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector Readout
DESCRIPTION:RFSoC-PYNQ Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector Readout\nJenny
  Smith\n\n \nMicrowave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are supercondu
 cting detectors capable of single-photon-counting with energy resolution a
 cross the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrum with microsecond tim
 ing precision. This unique combination of abilities enables a broad range 
 of science goals from exoplanet detection to CMB measurements all with a s
 ingle camera. In order to function as scientific cameras, MKIDs are multip
 lexed into kilo-pixel superconducting arrays that require large instantane
 ous readout bandwidths and resource-intensive real-time-processing.This ta
 lk will introduce MKID science then discuss the new digital readout system
  being developed on the Xilinx ZCU111 RFSoC platform. The talk will cover 
 how to use modern tools including Vivado High-Level Synthesis (HLS), Vivad
 o ML Intelligent Design Runs (IDR), and Python Productivity for ZYNQ (PYNQ
 ) to create an adaptable, reprogrammable, open-source MKID readout system 
 which is easier to use and more maintainable by scientists without sacrifi
 cing performance.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/BzKQ6Ua_DGk
