- Collaboration advances quantum computing capabilities with streamlined automation and high-fidelity gate operations.
As of March, 2024, QuantrolOx and Zurich Instruments have officially established a partnership to transform quantum computing.
Zurich Instruments, based in Switzerland, creates cutting-edge test & measurement tools to propel scientific advancements, particularly in quantum research. With a strong emphasis on Swiss quality standards and global support, Zurich Instruments aims to simplify, enhance, and make scientific instrumentation more reliable. Partnered with Rohde & Schwarz, the company is dedicated to driving forward scientific progress with innovative solutions.
QuantrolOx, spun out from Oxford University, pioneers the Quantum EDGE software for automating qubit and quantum processor tuning. Their vision is to automate qubit processes, freeing scientists to focus on advancing quantum computing. Quantum EDGE seamlessly integrates with leading quantum hardware providers, promoting flexibility and optimization in quantum systems.
The Zurich Instruments’ Quantum Computing Control System (QCCS) is integrated into the QuantrolOx’s Quantum EDGE, an automation tool for bringing-up, characterizing, tuning, and controlling different qubit systems.
The QCCS merges RF Signal Generators (SG), Quantum Analyzers (QA), and Qubit Controllers (QC), offering advanced features such as over 1 GHz instantaneous bandwidth for streamlined parallel qubit tune-up. This integration permits users to obtain outstanding results, reduces complexity, and enhances the performance of quantum computing experiments.
The collaboration with QuantrolOx has been exceptionally rewarding. Their development of a user-friendly interface for controlling and reading out various qubit types paves the way for rapid scalability of quantum computing capabilities. We are proud to contribute to this shared endeavor.
Users of Quantum Edge can now utilize the power of the recently developed SHF+ product line: SHFSG+, SHFQA+, SHFQC+. The SHF+ product line features technical specifications enabling high-fidelity gate operations, including exceptional signal-to-noise ratio, outstanding spectral purity without mixer calibration, and fast output muting functionality.
The integration of the QCCS with Quantum Edge has been facilitated by Zurich Instruments’ LabOne Q open-source software framework, with close technical collaboration beginning last year. Vishal Chatrath, CEO, and co-founder at QuantrolOx expresses enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the acceleration of progress and benefits to Zurich Instruments customers. Moritz Kirste, Head of Business Development for Quantum Technologies at Zurich Instruments, affirms the rewarding collaboration and looks forward to advancing multi-qubit gate operations and refining readout in the future.
