Abstract
Δ-sigma algorithms are used to determine the desired sequence of quantum-based voltage pulses used by the Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (JAWS) to create calculable voltage waveforms. We describe typical settings used for synthesizing JAWS audio-frequency waveforms and important additions to the pattern generation algorithm that improve the spectral purity of the JAWS waveforms.
