The Qubit Control Module (QCM) is engineered for high-performance arbitrary waveform generation at 1 GS/s, combining pulse parametrization and numerical modulation up to 400 MHz in the baseband regime. Driven by on-board sequence processors, the module enables direct digital synthesis of complex pulse sequences, delivering deterministic timing, low latency, high signal quality, fast reconfiguration, and scalability far beyond conventional AWGs.
Real-time pulse creation is enabled by the combination of an on-board waveform engine and a real-time sequence processor. Together, they support up to 16k samples of waveform memory and flexible pulse parametrization, including amplitude, offset, modulation frequency, and phase. Operating on a 1 ns time grid, both waveform memory and sequencing capabilities allow pulse parameters to be updated with nanosecond resolution. These features support advanced use cases such as endless waveform playback, fast parameter sweeps, and dynamic pulse sequencing. Additionally, the module’s low output offset and gain drift of only a few ppm/K minimize the need for frequent recalibration, making the QCM a highly stable and versatile baseband signal generator for pushing gate fidelities to the next level.
The Qubit Control Module (QCM) operates within the Qblox Cluster mainframe, offering seamless integration and scalability. A single 19” rack Cluster unit can accommodate up to 20 QCM modules, providing density for up to 80 baseband channels.
Qblox’s modular architecture allows interoperability between the QCM and other modules, including the Qubit Control RF Module (QCM-RF II), Qubit Readout Modules (QRM and QRM‑RF), Qubit Readout and Control (QRC), and the Qubit Timetag Module (QTM).
Using the proprietary SYNQ and LINQ interconnect protocols, all modules communicate and run synchronously. This architecture ensures precise alignment of control, readout, and processing, allowing users to configure a control stack that matches their quantum system and supports high‑fidelity operation.
“ As we build integrated multimodal quantum data centers and connect quantum processors directly with HPC infrastructures, transparent, low-level hardware control is essential to delivering scalable, hybrid quantum–classical computing environments. Qblox enables this level of hardware control through Q1ASM, giving us at Qilimanjaro the precision and flexibility needed to advance our analog and digital QPUs."
“ Since 2021, Qblox has been a vitalpartner in our mission to build a 100-qubitquantum computer for Swedish industry.Their robust, scalable control systemdelivers outstanding analog performance,allowing us to push quantum boundarieswithout hardware limitations. Withunparalleled channel synchronizationand fast real-time feedback, we can fullytune up our 20-qubit systems in under 30minutes."
“Since 2022, Qblox has been a trustworthy partner, providing the qubit-agnostic control electronics essential to our vision.
