Unlike traditional approaches, control and readout pulses in QUA are generated and adjusted in real time, allowing for on-the-fly waveform manipulation and dynamic protocol execution. A comprehensive library of pre-built control applications further accelerates development and deployment. Seamlessly integrated within this ecosystem, QUAlibrate automates multi-qubit calibration and continuous optimization, ensuring peak performance across quantum processors. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Group-206085.png) ## GPU-Powered Hybrid Control OPX1000 redefines hybrid quantum-classical computing with seamless CPU/GPU acceleration, delivering data transfer speeds over 1,000 times faster than other controllers. Through [NVIDIA DGX Quantum](/solutions/open-acceleration-stack/), the first reference architecture integrating CPU-GPU servers with QPUs, it enables tightly synchronized hybrid algorithms that push the boundaries of hybrid quantum-classical computing. By eliminating bottlenecks between quantum control and classical processing, NVIDIA DGX Quantum unlocks real-time quantum error correction, accelerated calibration, and next-generation hybrid algorithms – all with minimal latency and maximum efficiency. NVIDIA DGX Quantum is fully compatible with NVIDIA NVQLink open architecture for quantum-accelerated AI supercomputing ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/NVIDIA-DGX-Quantum-OPX1000_new-2.png) ## Benefits ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Group-206092.png) #### Achieve Milestones Faster & Unlock the New Possible Accelerate development and execute the most complex experiments with Hybrid Control – bringing classical resources as close as possible to the qubits, eliminating latency, reducing runtime, and optimizing performance. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Group.svg) #### Achieve Record Fidelities at Scale Qubit-led analog front-end and fast compensation for parameter drifts ensure continuous top fidelities. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Group-206087.png) #### HPC-QC Deep Integration Fastest gateway to classical GPU/CPU accelerators via NVIDIA DGX Quantum. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Standards_based.png) #### Smoothly Scale Effortlessly add modules and units with exceptional phase synchronization, any-to-any data sharing (complete measurements and computed values, not just Booleans), and without software changes as the QPU scales. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Group-206089.png) #### High Uptime Data center reliability (redundancy and hot-swappable critical parts), and fast calibration retuning. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Icon-proved-track-record-1.png) #### Future Proof Unmatched processing power, continuous logic upgrades (essential for introducing new capabilities), and significant savings on hardware costs and development time. ## Your experiments reside in a phase space.
