Cluster

Modular and scalable quantum control
Release February 2026_V1.9
DESCRIPTION

Qblox Cluster is the scalable 19” rack system that can be configured with a combination of modules that can control and readout qubits over a wide frequency range (DC to 18.5 GHz).  

All the modules in the system act as one solid system through the use of our proprietary SYNQ and LINQ backplane system protocols. Both protocols contribute to more stable and reliable qubit setups needed for quantum computing.

Stylized black and white graphic with the word SYNQ in bold letters inside a rounded rectangle, with three concentric curved lines surrounding it, ending in a stylized arrow and three dots.

SYNQ protocol: Ensures fully deterministic timing of all outgoing signals by creating a synchronized start and establishes fixed timing relations between all the modules in the Cluster.

Logo featuring two interlocking chain links with a black rounded rectangle in the center containing the white text 'LINQ'.

LINQ protocol: Facilitates low-latency feedback with an arbitrary control flow by distributing the measurement outcomes to all modules.
