# Project Information & Resources

## Academic Reference

FIREQ is developed as a research platform for RFSoC-based quantum-control
experiments, integrating client-side experiment definition, server-side runtime
control, and FPGA firmware for signal generation and acquisition.

For a complete architectural overview and capabilities of FIREQ, please read our paper:
