We report the first demonstration of using the Quantum Instrumentation and
Control Kit (QICK) system on RFSoCFPGA technology to drive an entangled photon
pair source and to detect the photon signals. With the QICK system, we achieve
high levels of performance metrics including coincidence-to-accidental ratio
exceeding 150, and entanglement visibility exceeding 95%, consistent with
performance metrics achieved using conventional waveform generators. We also
demonstrate simultaneous detector readout using the digitization functional of
QICK, achieving internal system synchronization time resolution of 3.2 ps. The
work reported in this paper represents an explicit demonstration of the
feasibility for replacing commercial waveform generators and time taggers with
RFSoC-FPGA technology in the operation of a quantum network, representing a
cost reduction of more than an order of magnitude
