Qblox is a deep tech scaleup whose mission is to accelerate the worldwide race towards building scalable quantum computers. We achieve this by providing the world's best quantum control stacks. We combine hardware that has excellent analog performance with easy-to-use software. We develop a modular system packed with high-end FPGAs synchronized with nanosecond precision, high-speed digital interfaces to multi-gigasample data converters, and ultra low-noise and low drift analog (RF) circuits. The FPGAs contain our proprietary sequence processors that generate the pulses controlling the quantum hardware. Our software stack consists of low-level drivers, compilers, and assemblers written in C/C++ alongside higher-level tools written in Python. Our products accelerate the development of operational quantum computers globally and are compatible with a broad range of qubit technologies.
