Welcome OPX1000 – The Most Advanced Quantum Control Solution!
We’re thrilled to announce our newest, ultra-high speed quantum controller, OPX1000. We’ve packed OPX1000 with so many amazing features to enable you – our customers – to quickly scale your system from 1 to 1,000 qubits, and beyond.
Designed specifically for large-scale quantum computers, the OPX1000 introduces groundbreaking capabilities. These include the industry’s highest channel density, real-time processing capabilities, ultra-low latency feedback, and state-of-the-art analog specifications, tailor-made for quantum control needs rather than general RF equipment. With remarkable quantum-classical integration and control channel density, the OPX1000 sets an unparalleled benchmark in quantum computing performance. Currently being rolled out to a select group of initial customers, OPX1000 is slated for wider availability in the coming months
Here are some of the key benefits that OPX1000 has to offer:
The Industry’s Highest Channel-Density
OPX1000 is a scaled-up quantum controller and represents a significant leap forward in quantum control technology. OPX1000 is tailored to address the demands of the largest quantum computers worldwide featuring up to 64 output and 16 input channels packed into a 3 rack units (U) device. As such, OPX1000 boasts the highest in-class density of control and readout channels. This exceptional channel density facilitates cost-effective control over today’s largest Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) as well as those planned for the future.
A Modular Platform
OPX1000 gives users the flexibility they need when gradually scaling their quantum computing systems. The platform’s modules can be added or swapped with ease, allowing users to pay-as-they grow, while protecting their initial investment on the hardware. OPX1000’s modular design also allows for easy stacking, providing unparalleled scalability and adaptability for varying quantum computing needs. Finally, the platform allows for future flexibility in new modules design.
Unmatched Real-time Processing
With up to 10 high end FPGAs, the OPX1000 offers the highest classical processing resources available in any dedicated quantum control solution. This allows for heavy classical computation during quantum sequences, which is critical in advanced quantum-classical algorithms such as VQAs and error correction, mitigation and complex decoding schemes. Additionally, combining this processing power with the OPX1000’s software defined platform, allows endless possibilities of future improvements of the controller – both features and capabilities – without having to change or replace the hardware.
High bandwidth and low latency data sharing
The system provides high-speed data-sharing between the different front-end modules (FEMs) and between different OPX1000 devices. This allows multiple FEMs to run calculations together, and more importantly, allows for ultra-fast arbitrary feedback between all modules, even in different OPX1000 chassis.
Superior analog performance
Optimized for the needs of quantum computers at scale, rather than for general RF test and measure purposes, OPX1000 features state of the art analog specs including ultra-low jitter, phase stability and skew even when scaling to multiple controllers and racks. OPX1000 delivers 750MHz bandwidth and low 1/f noise, supporting 2 GSPS, and both direct (1 Vpp) and amplified mode (5 Vpp) with a fast clean step response.
Redundancy and hot-swappable critical parts
Including power supplies, network connection, clocks, etc.
Unique Pulse Processing Unit (PPU) Technology
OPX1000 employs Quantum Machines’ proprietary Pulse Processing Unit (PPU), an innovative component that optimizes the seamless integration of quantum operations with ultra-fast classical processing. Each FEM runs a PPU which comprises 16 pulsers (cores), or a total of 128 cores for a complete system, operatinging in parallel. It can handle dozens of qubits at a time, depending on the quantum processor’s modality and architecture. This unique system combines parametric pulse generation, real-time Turing-complete classical computing, on-the-fly pulse manipulations, and comprehensive control flow capabilities. The result is a groundbreaking quantum controller that maximizes efficiency and performance.
QUA – Intuitive Programming Interface
OPX1000 comes equipped with QM’s intuitive pulse-level language, QUA, allowing researchers and developers to program complex quantum algorithms with ease.
Ready for HPC environments
OPX1000 is fully compatible with DGX-Quantum – a co-developed solution by Quantum Machines and NVIDIA for hardware quantum acceleration. It enables innovative hybrid classical-quantum commercial applications development in OpenQASM3 and NVIDIA CUDA environments, while benefiting from deep access to quantum control pulse-level programming for software optimization.
Always Up To Date
Ensuring that our customers’ systems are always up to date, QM provides continuous logic upgrades. This is essential for introducing new capabilities that operate on a quantum coherence timescale.
