Superconducting

Qblox offers fully integrated quantum control stacks for superconducting qubits. These stacks include all necessary instrumentation and software for controlling and reading out superconducting qubits, with signal generation and acquisition capabilities up to 18.5 GHz. Our modular approach enables researchers to configure the modules and re-configure the existing modules according to their needs. This approach also makes the system extremely scalable, making our solution ideal for both university research labs and industry R&D labs aiming to scale up their quantum systems.

application

Spin

Qblox’s quantum control stacks integrate all the instrumentation required for the control and readout of spin qubits in Si, Ge, and GaAs. Qblox’s Cluster simplifies and accelerates quantum dots and spin-qubits measurements with an FPGA-based real-time programming which significantly reduces the overheads associated with software-controlled loops. The modular architecture of Cluster makes an easily adaptable hardware to any type of spin-qubit device configuration. Open software layers, Q1ASM assembly language, and the higher-level Quantify package including spin-qubit specific library, facilitate programming experiments easily, focusing on electrostatically defined quantum dots, microwave-controlled spin-qubits, and RF-reflectometry-based read-out measurements from DC to 18.5 GHz.

application

NV Centers

Qblox quantum control stack, the Cluster, integrates electronics and software needed for optical setups to control and readout NV centers and trapped ions. This integrated solution streamlines experiments and finds applications in quantum sensing, computing, and communication. The Cluster's architecture includes advanced sequence processors, AWGs, local oscillators, analyzers, and digitizers, providing scalability and configurability. Un-levelled noise performance of analog channels, combined with the digital channels, makes Qblox Cluster the favourite choice of leading labs and centers for next-level experiments on optical setups for quantum computing.

Versatile Spin Qubit Control

Qblox's Cluster modules offer adaptability to diverse spin qubit systems. Given the scalable and modular architecture of the Cluster mainframe, it is easily modified according to the channel type and/or density requirement of every type of spin qubit device. Cluster modules integrate FPGA technology with the analog front-end in a wide frequency range from DC to 18.5 GHz in both read-out and control parts of the experiments to meet all experimental requirements of spin-qubit-based applications.  While QCM and QCM-RF modules can be used to define quantum dots electrostatically and generate microwave control pulses, QRM and QRM-RF modules can read the quantum dots via charge sensing, lock-in type, or RF-reflectometry.

Unprecedented Analog Performance and coherent control

Qblox prioritizes high signal integrity, by ensuring the lowest noise and drift in its Cluster modules and SPI DC sources. This ensures keeping the quantum dots at desired conditions for a very long time to make complex spin-qubit experiments feasible. The proprietary backplane protocols SYNQ and LINQ enable synchronization and low-latency feedback. An accomplishment of Qblox’s architecture lies in the ability to control down to single charge level experiments based on electrostatically defined 1-D structures; quantum dots or shuttling channels. Coherently controlled multi gates and the energy levels facilitate single or multi-quantum dot operations by effectively modulating the potential landscape.

Switching to Qblox for our quantum memory control hardware has significantly improved our workflow. Its clear Python integration and fast compilation allow us to modify experimental parameters in real time. This has enabled us to replace manual optimization with a machine learning algorithm, saving time and making it easier to explore new ideas.

Qblox offers an intuitive platform for running our experiments. Its speed for conditional operation, and code simplicity makes it ideal for complex experiments involving many coordinated components.

Alberto Rodriguez-Moldes
PhD Candidate ICFO

We use the Qblox control stack in our lab to improve and simplify our quantum networking setups, to enable my students to get to results faster. By integrating RF and MW signal generation, coincidence detection, and timetagging, the Qblox Cluster allows me to replace 4 pieces of equipment with a single blue box. Within the Quantum Internet Alliance, my team and the Qblox team worked together on developing and testing the Qubit Timetag Module, an essential piece of equipment for the readout of color centers. The Qblox team offers excellent support with very fast response times. This enables us to use the equipment in the best way for our experiments. I am excited to continue working together and push my state-of-the-art research with Qblox's integrated and easy-to-use solution.

Distinguished Professor QuTech, TUDelft

My impression of both the (remote) pre-sales and (in-person) after-sales meetings was very positive. The meetings before the purchase really helped us to get to know the features and directly ask questions. For our decision making it was crucial to know that we could get the required features for our current and future experiments. After the purchase, it was really great to meet the team personally in Munich and I hope all the future customers also get this chance. They are very proactive and super easy to talk to. Being able to ask specific, detailed questions in person was very helpful because usually one would need to go deep into the documentation, which means it is easy to miss important information.

The Qblox cluster is easy and straightforward to configure, even for a large superconducting quantum processor. The Qblox support team is always ready to address customer concerns and help users explore the hardware in detail to achieve the best results. Qblox electronics stand out for their compactness, design, and scalability, giving us the flexibility to configure various aggregates of quantum gates for different algorithms running in parallel on more qubits of the chip.

Qblox cluster is certainly one of the most important elements in our new spin qubit lab. The easy-to-use and compact system allows us to set up a spin qubit control system within a couple of hours. We have used it for the RF reflectometry readout of our first in-house quantum dot! I look forward to getting more exciting results by using the Qblox cluster. What I also appreciate is the good communication and friendship between Qblox and the customers.

Our group strives to be at the forefront of spin qubit research, and Qblox allows us to spend our time on discussing physics rather than fixing problems on experimental setups. They provide control electronics with excellent analog performance that we can rely on to manipulate our qubits with high precision. Furthermore, programming and executing complex waveforms can be accomplished with minimal experimental overheads. Finally, Qblox’ solution is compact, their pricing is very competitive and their engineers offer outstanding service and advice.

When we started QuantrolOx in 2022, we needed a trustworthy hardware partner to enable our vision. To have our back. Qblox has been by our side by providing us with qubit-agnostic control electronics. Our vision of automating fast characterization and tuning of qubits meant we needed hardware with ultra-low latency and state-of-the-art features. The SYNQ & LINQ communication protocols of the Qblox Cluster enabled our vision for fast parallel characterization. We are proud of our working relationship with Qblox and highly recommend the team for their professionalism and innovative approach to tackling the challenges faced by experimental scientists in quantum computing.
