Qolab's superconducting device, now installed at the IQCC, introduces a new class of superconducting hardware optimized for high-fidelity, fabrication repeatability, and scalability - core requirements for transitioning quantum computing from fragile laboratory systems to dependable computing platforms. The quantum processor is based on the foundational physics that earned Prof. Martinis the Nobel Prize earlier this year, recognizing his decades-long contributions to superconducting qubits and macroscopic quantum phenomena. At Qolab, these scientific breakthroughs have been transformed into precision-engineered qubits designed to reduce flux noise and decoherence and to support reliable manufacturing using advanced semiconductor processes.
As part of the new collaboration, Qolab's other devices at its facility in Madison, WI, United States, will be made accessible to researchers worldwide via the IQCC cloud. This marks the first time Qolab's superconducting qubit technology is being made available within an international infrastructure, providing scientists and developers with unprecedented access to next-generation, industrial quantum hardware.
The integration of Qolab's processor into the IQCC exemplifies the flexibility and capability of Quantum Machines' hybrid control technology. Designed and operated by QM with support from the Israel Innovation Authority, the IQCC brings together multiple quantum modalities connected to classical high-performance computing systems and global cloud access, enabling hybrid quantum-classical workflows in a unified research environment.
"Our goal at Qolab has always been to turn the scientific breakthroughs of the past 20 years into engineered qubits that can be built, scaled, and trusted," said John M. Martinis, founder and CTO of Qolab. "By collaborating with Quantum Machines and the IQCC, we're creating a platform where international scientists can jointly perform hardware research."
"This collaboration with Qolab reflects the core purpose of the IQCC," said Itamar Sivan, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Machines. "Together with Prof. John Martinis and his team, we are transforming cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs into a functioning quantum infrastructure that is immediately available to researchers worldwide."
Located at Tel Aviv University and supported by the Israel Innovation Authority, the Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC) is a world-class quantum and high-performance computing facility. It is the world's first center built to host multiple co-located quantum processors spanning different qubit modalities, tightly integrated with classical HPC capabilities and cloud access. The center provides a plug-and-play ecosystem for advancing quantum and hybrid computing at scale and serves as a growing hub for international quantum collaboration.
