Cluster

Cluster is the world's leading modular quantum control stack, a highly scalable 19-inch rack system optimized to meet the growing demands of quantum experiments and the development roadmaps of industrial research labs. It is composed of various modules that enable qubit control and readout across a wide frequency range (DC to 18.5 GHz).

A crucial element in quantum computing environments, Cluster supports the highest level of experimentation and seamlessly scales to match the needs of the NISQ era, regardless of qubit technology.

  • QCM

    The Qubit Control Module (QCM) is specifically engineered to be state-of-the-art in generating pulses in the baseband regime up to 400 MHz to replace conventional AWGs. The core of QCM’s technology lies in the Q1 advanced sequence processors and a high-end analog front-end to support quantum computing experiments. The highest channel density is assured with 4 analog outputs and 4 digital outputs per module, to form a massively scalable system by incorporating 80 AWG channels in a single 19” mainframe

  • The Qubit Control RF Module (QCM-RF) is a 2-channel direct-RF qubit control module for pulse generation within the 2 - 18.5 GHz frequency range. This module features six Q1 sequence processors and a high-end analog front-end with integrated upconversion, establishing the QCM-RF as an advanced solution for microwave control of qubits with high SFDR, ultralow noise, and great phase stability. With 2 analog and 2 digital outputs, the QCM-RF has the highest channel density on the market for the microwave regime, enabling up to 40 output channels in a single Cluster 19-inch mainframe.

  • QRM

    The Qubit Readout Module (QRM) is a massively scalable readout module that elevates measurements on various qubit platforms. It replaces conventional pulse generators, digitizers, and readout analyzers by combining 2 inputs and 2 outputs to execute reflectometry, transmission, photon counting, and spectroscopy experiments in a single module. Equipped with two analog outputs, two analog inputs, and four digital outputs, the QRM embodies the scalable philosophy of the Qblox Cluster.

  • The Qubit Readout RF Module (QRM-RF) stands as the definitive solution for multi-qubit readout within the 2 to 18.5 GHz frequency range. It seamlessly integrates inputs and outputs, supplying all the necessary tools for multiplexed resonator readout, RF-reflectometry, and spectroscopy measurements. This integration simplifies complex experimental setups by consolidating multiple functionalities into a single module

  • QRC

    The Qubit Readout and Control (QRC) module opens new horizons in qubit readout and control for research and high-performance computing. With high channel density and state-of-the-art RFSoC technology, the QRC facilitates ultra-fast high-fidelity gates through short rise times and low ringing. By combining direct digital synthesis (DDS) and single mixing, it ensures a high spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) across 100 MHz to 10 GHz. With 12 independent Q1 sequencers, it supports >800 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (expandable to >1.6 GHz via internal channel-combining). Seamless Qblox control stack integration guarantees precise, real-time control and adaptability for diverse quantum applications.

  • QSM

    The Quantum Source and Measurement (QSM) module is designed for DC transport experiments, qubit characterization, and operations with DC pulses. Integrating both sourcing and measurement capabilities in a single instrument, it is supported by the DC Cluster mainframe for ground-loop free operation and interference isolation. Featuring 8 re-configurable DC input/output channels with 28-bit resolution and a <0.6 μV step size over a +/- 10 V range, it also offers a pA-uA current measurement range. This scalable system supports up to 160 channels, providing long-term stability and ultra-low noise levels. QSM modules operate seamlessly with other Qblox baseband modules for rapid experimental transitions

  • QTM

    The Qubit Timetag Module (QTM) enhances the Cluster by providing both digital signal generation and acquisition, specifically optimized for optically addressable qubits. Its output facilitates fast and precisely timed TTL signals for direct and precise laser control. On the input side, a configurable analog threshold and windowing with photon counting and time tagging functionalities, ensure a fast and reliable optical readout process. This seamless integration of signal generation and acquisition within a single control instrument guarantees inherent synchronization, rendering triggers redundant.
