At the heart of OPX+ is a multi-core Pulse Processing Unit (PPU). It combines classical calculation with quantum control pulses and control flow in real time. Instead of playing pulse sequences from memory, the PPU generates and manipulates them on-the-fly, reducing uploading times and memory usage to near zero.
OPX+ reduces conditional feedback to 220 ns and can do fully parametric feedback: readout, classical calculations, and parameter updates in 272 ns. With no central controller architecture, a cluster of OPX+ units provides ultra-fast feedback between any of the qubits.
Randomized benchmarking with a depth > 5,000 gates and thousands of repetitions runs in minutes, with no uploading or compilation time. Easy programming and out-of-the-box workflow libraries deliver the fastest time to results.
Processor logic (hardware) upgrades keep your system in line with quantum innovation, allowing the introduction of new and important features down to processor logic, on top of regular software updates.
"QUA Python interface is great ... everything you want to do is just three intuitive lines of code. The OPX is one of the only things in the lab that is working really well."
I regard Quantum Machines as the quintessential example of how deep-tech companies should operate in harmony. Their OPX+ devices exemplify excellence, and the team's unmatched business ethos sets them apart. From unboxing the OPX+ to the first measurements is a truly exhilarating experience. They consistently go above and beyond for their customers, ensuring mutual success. Transitioning from academia to the startup realm, I have rarely encountered a company as remarkable as Quantum Machines.
Quantum Machines' OPX played a key role in our roadmap. It enabled us to get the best control electronics out there [FPGA] without having to learn how to program them. QM provides a very scalable, very easy to use and very powerful hardware, which allows us to focus on the quantum science.
“Developing a functional qubit control electronic system absorbs a PhD-student full time at least for two years. QM’S Quantum Orchestration Platform allowed us set up experiments for full qubit characterization in 2-3 days with an undergraduate summer school student.”
“Efficiently controlling multiple frequency-tunable transmon qubits can be achieved with QM's OPX and QDevil's QDAC. QDAC's high-precision and low-noise bias voltage ensures accurate qubit frequency control without compromising coherence times, while QM's OPX offers advanced control solutions that are user-friendly and require minimal technical expertise. I highly recommend using OPX and QDAC together to streamline your lab processes and advance your quantum computing research.”
“We have integrated the Quantum Machines OPX control system with our cold atoms quantum computer at University of Wisconsin-Madison. The integration was completed rapidly, thanks in part to knowledgeable support from Quantum Machines engineers. The flexibility of the OPX for generating complex signals has been instrumental in our ongoing work advancing the performance of neutral atom qubit systems.”
“We are very pleased with the Quantum Orchestration Platform (QOP) control solution. It’s remarkably easy to use, reliable, and flexible, supporting our advanced quantum research needs. The QOP dramatically expedites our research. The Quantum Machines customer success team has been instrumental in addressing all our needs to help us to maximize the full potential of the solution. We already use two systems and strongly recommend it.”
“The quantum orchestration platform (QOP) platform completely changed the way we control semiconductor quantum dot spin qubits. Key qubit control schemes we previously developed individually using time-consuming hardware description languages are now easily implemented in one box.”
“Integrating the control of the lab into a single unit made my research experience much easier. I can honestly say it is thanks to Quantum Machines’ well-engineered hardware and their team's true willingness to assist.”
“The OPX makes it a breeze to develop from scratch a brand-new superconducting qubit capability. Getting started is straightforward, the coding is easy, and the customer support is fantastic! The OPX reduces the potential barrier to progress and is also well suited for teaching.”
“Replacing three devices with one synchronized, orchestrated machine tremendously simplified lab workflow. Now our pulse sequences run in a fraction of the time of any other device combo. Plus, we can “talk” to the FPGA in human-speak, to run real-time calculations that were too complicated before! Along with the yoga-level.”
“Within only two days of unboxing the OPX and Octave, we were running randomized benchmarking, active reset, state tomography, and all the routine qubit control protocols. This was simply incredible. Furthermore, the easy-to-use QUA language allowed us to implement our pulse sequences in minutes. As a startup, speed of progress is a crucial element of our success. With QM, we are confident to accelerate our development and achieve results in days instead of months or even years.”
“Having tried several instruments in the past, I am very impressed by Quantum Machines' OPX. It finally removes the need for us to develop any skills in FPGA programming while still benefiting from advanced FPGA capabilities in our experiments.”
“Dedicated hardware for controlling and operating quantum bits is something we have all been dreaming of. Quantum Machines has answered this call by allowing us and others in the field to scale up with ease and with far greater functionality than was ever possible before.”
“With the OPX we were able to reduce the cost of infrastructure development from a few weeks to a few days, without any need to directly program the FPGA.”
“I must say I'm very happy with QM's Quantum Orchestration Platform. It's the single most reliable piece of equipment I've got in the lab. I operate it remotely and never had any problems. I strongly recommend the OPX and the QOP to my colleagues. It is by far the simplest way to do qubit physics.”
“It is a pleasure to work with Quantum Machines, which results in enjoyable interactions and a fast pace to getting actual results. The Quantum Orchestration Platform (QOP) has been easy to use and very powerful, but we are still just scratching the surface of its full capabilities!”
“The OPX+ has allowed us to tune up complex multi-qubit measurements with multiplexed control and readout signals for studying quasiparticle poisoning and correlated errors in superconducting qubit arrays. The on-board processing has been quite useful for analyzing qubit data streams on the fly.”
