Dynamically adapt in real time, based on computation and outcomes of mid-circuit measurements, allowing for infinite branching on fully adaptive quantum-classical circuits. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Icons-4.svg)#### Comprehensive Any manipulation of the quantum circuit done dynamically: conditional pulses, flow control and parametric updates. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Icons-5.svg)#### Analog & Digital Calibrate coefficients and parameters in real-time to achieve the highest operation fidelities keeping the up-time high. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Icons-6.svg)#### Real-Time Calculations and reactions are happening during the quantum circuit and faster than the qubit’s coherence time. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/big-illustration-fast-feedback-1024x602.webp) **Feed-forward and feedback** Use real-time feed-forward and feedback composed of the state space of quantum systems. Quantum feedback is enabled by combining FPGA-based deterministic processing, analog processing, and real-time control. ## Quantum Feedback in Numbers Quantum feedback, in its most arbitrary form, allows utilizing and reacting in real-time to information processed from measurements. This requires a high level of integration between classical and quantum resources. Here we focus on quantum real-time (QRT) latency benchmarks, which refer to the delay required for operations that must occur faster than qubit decoherence. We present the numbers for our [Quantum Machines’ OPX controllers](https://www.quantum-machines.co/press-release/opx1000-to-power-the-quantum-computing-lab-at-skku/). To learn more about the control benchmarking system we use click below.

The PPU responds to measurements, performs calculations and orchestrates the experiment’s control flow and qubit drives based on measurements. As a result, OPX can do much more than the traditional “play/no play” feedback or two-paths-only branching. It easily supports the implementation of advanced dynamic circuits right out of the box. Here we show OPX+ latency for a few QRT feedback benchmarks, such as *Active Reset* using standard feedback in under 250 ns and *π-pulse calibration* under 300 ns (numbers for analog-to-analog, while analog-to-digital requires half the latency). Read below for an explanation of the protocols.

From the moment the last point of a measurement input pulse comes to the controller, OPX processing unit performs state discrimination and decision making, and then produces a reset pulse conditionally on the qubit being in the excited state. This takes 224 ns for one qubit, the fastest arbitrary analog-to-analog feedback in the industry. Easily extendable to any number of qubits simultaneously, and can be performed aggregating or distributing the processing. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Fig_Fast-feedback3_625X436-1.webp) #### Real-time Control Flow Repeat-until-success active reset example OPX can change the flow of the program in real-time based on the classical processing of measurement results. The ability to respond to events with real-time decision making based on measurements allows for repeat-until-success (RUS) sequences, where the controller responds dynamically to events as they unfold, in a non-deterministic process. For example, RUS active reset allows to continuously reset until the qubit is in the required state with a given probability, to perform experimental shots always in the required conditions without wasting time. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Fig_Fast-feedback5_625X436-1.webp) #### Parametric Updates π-pulse calibration example The OPX can dynamically change parameters (e.g. amplitude, frequency, phase, chirp, threshold, etc.) of a pulse-level operation based on processed measurement results. For example, in a π-pulse calibration, we instruct the pulse processor to change the amplitude of a the pulse dynamically, responding to a measurement, comparing the result to a previous value. Parametric changes are done with ultra-low latency, improving repetition rates of experiments, calibration rates and reducing overhead. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Fig_Fast-feedback4_625X436-1.webp) ## See OPX Comprehensive Feedback in Action [ ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Frame-67093.webp)Real-time two-axis control of a spin qubit Jul 2022 Read more ](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-45857-0) [ ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Frame-67093.webp)Inductively shunted transmons exhibit noise insensitive plasmon Jul 2022 Read more ](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39656-2) [ ![dartmouht](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Frame-67093-1.webp)Two-level system hyperpolarization using a quantum Szilard engine Jul 2022 Read more ](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-023-02082-8) [ ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/mechanical-oscillators-1024x251-1.webp)Bridging Quantum Realms: A Silicon-Based Electromechanical Interface for Extended Phonon Lifetimes Jul 2022 Read more ](https://www.quantum-machines.co/resources/blog/bridging-quantum-realms-a-silicon-based-electromechanical-interface-for-extended-phonon-lifetimes/) ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Icons-7.svg)#### Extreme Speed-Up Perform operations within coherence times, enabling faster experiments and higher throughput. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Icons-8.svg)#### Highest Fidelities Minimize errors with precise, real-time control and feedback. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Icons-9.svg)#### Mitigating Errors Detect and correct errors dynamically during circuit execution. ![](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Icons-10.svg)#### At Any Scale Scale feedback and adaptive control across complex quantum systems. ## Additional Resources [All resources](https://www.quantum-machines.co/resources/) [ ![Open Acceleration Stack: Bringing AI into the Heart of Quantum Computing ](https://www.quantum-machines.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/0326_Blog-Post_1680x420_Open-acceleration-stack2-1024x256.webp) Blog #### Open Acceleration Stack: Bringing AI into the Heart of Quantum Computing March 2026 | 10 min read Read more ](https://www.quantum-machines.co/resources/blog/open-acceleration-stack-bringing-ai-into-the-heart-of-quantum-computing/) [ Blog #### The Open Acceleration Stack: Making the Impossible Possible in Quantum-Classical Supercomputing Read more March 2026 | 6 min read ](https://www.quantum-machines.co/resources/blog/open-acceleration-stack-hybrid-quantum-classical-architecture/) [ Blog #### Accelerated Quantum Supercomputing with NVIDIA DGX Quantum: Real-Time GPU-CPU-QPU Integration from the Diraq Lab Read more October 2025 | 6 min read ](https://www.quantum-machines.co/resources/blog/accelerated-quantum-supercomputing-nvidia-dgx-quantum/) Replacing 3 devices with one synchronized, orchestrated machine tremendously simplified lab workflow.
