Qblox | The control stack for the quantum revolution

Summary
Qblox is a spin-out from Delft-based QuTech, one of Europe’s leading quantum technology hubs. We are the world’s first provider of integrated quantum control stacks. Our prototypes can control up to 20 qubits from a single compact, cost-effective and ultra-low latency device. Our technology is currently being integrated and tested by world leaders in quantum technology like Intel, QuTech, the Peng Cheng Laboratory in Shenzhen and the University of Technology Sydney. Our goal is to develop the Supercluster—a modular 1,600 qubit quantum control stack with error correction capabilities. This will allow our customers in the quantum hardware sector to focus on core product development and accelerate their path towards quantum advantage.
This ambitious project relies on Qblox’s core innovations: (1) our proprietary SYNQ protocol that synchronises system control with nanosecond precision, (2) our proprietary LINQ protocol that distributes information across the system in less than 200 ns, (3) ultra-low noise pulse generators (4x lower than the best alternative), and (4) a unique error decoding hardware module.
In the next two years, we will deliver 5 to 20-qubit control stacks to companies and research centres developing quantum computers. We have achieved early market traction and gained interest from tech giants— Amazon, Alibaba, Intel—quantum start-ups—IQM, Oxford Quantum Circuits, Qilimanjaro—and research institutions—QuTech, University of Tokyo, TNO. From 2023, we will offer our fully modular solution with error-correction capabilities. These control stacks will be at the heart of the quantum computers that will propel quantum computing into one of the most revolutionary technologies of the 21st century.
