Insider Brief<\/p>\n
Horizon Quantum<\/a> and Quantum Machines<\/a> have announced a collaboration to develop embedded calibration technologies for Horizon<\/a> Quantum\u2019s Ember-1 superconducting quantum computer testbed. <\/p>\n The companies will use Quantum Machines<\/a>\u2019 OPX1000 control system and orchestration platform to create calibration routines designed to improve system uptime and operational stability. <\/p>\n The collaboration aims to reduce reliance on lengthy calibration cycles by enabling more frequent parameter updates during quantum system operation.<\/p>\n Press release \u2013 Horizon Quantum Computing<\/a> Pte. Ltd., the wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Quantum Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: HQ) (\u201cHorizon Quantum\u201d), a pioneer of software infrastructure for quantum applications and Q.M Technologies Ltd. (\u201cQuantum Machines<\/a>\u201d or QM\u201d), a leading provider of advanced hybrid quantum-classical control solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration to support the development of more robust, efficient quantum systems.<\/p>\n Through the collaboration, Horizon<\/a> Quantum will leverage QM\u2019s industry-leading orchestration platform for quantum control, alongside QM\u2019s engineering expertise, to develop embedded calibration technologies for Horizon Quantum\u2019s first in-house hardware testbed system Ember-1, a modular superconducting quantum computer. This collaboration aims to accelerate the delivery of more reliable, continuously operating quantum systems.<\/p>\n Accurate calibration determines the fidelity of a quantum system; however, a full calibration routine is a time-consuming process. As quantum computers continue to scale, maintaining accurate calibration without interrupting system operation has become an increasingly important challenge.<\/p>\n In collaboration with Quantum Machines<\/a>, Horizon<\/a> Quantum intends to develop an embedded calibration framework that enables lightweight calibration routines to be executed as part of normal system operation, reducing reliance on lengthy full-system calibration cycles. By updating the system parameters more frequently, this process will be designed to reduce downtime, improve operational stability, and maintain high-performance operation over extended runtimes.<\/p>\n To support this development, Horizon<\/a> Quantum will leverage QM\u2019s OPX1000 control system\u2014the system currently used in Ember-1. By improving Ember-1\u2019s uptime, this collaboration is expected to increase the amount of access time available for Triple Alpha users on the system. It also aims to demonstrate the capabilities of QM\u2019s control technology in a real-world quantum computing environment.<\/p>\n The collaboration reflects both companies\u2019 shared commitment to advancing practical quantum computing by combining best-in-class quantum software and control technologies that enable customers to build scalable, high-performance quantum systems.<\/p>\n \u201cImproved calibration routines are crucial for enabling real-world applications of quantum computing,\u201d said\u00a0Dr. Joe Fitzsimons, CEO of Horizon<\/a> Quantum. \u201cBy bringing together Horizon Quantum\u2019s expertise in quantum software and Quantum Machines<\/a>\u2019 expertise in quantum control, I believe we can develop lightweight calibration routines that increase uptime and improve the reliability of our testbed system. This strategic collaboration provides us with an opportunity to contribute to the development of more stable, performant quantum systems, and because our hardware testbed integrates Horizon Quantum\u2019s software infrastructure with a quantum computer containing a Quantum Machines OPX1000 control system, it provides an ideal environment for this endeavor.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe future of quantum computing depends on our ability to operate increasingly complex systems reliably and at scale,\u201d said\u00a0Dr. Itamar Sivan, CEO of Quantum Machines<\/a>. \u201cWe are excited to collaborate with Horizon<\/a> Quantum on technologies that bring calibration closer to real-time operation, helping unlock more productive quantum systems and accelerating the path toward practical quantum computing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Insider Brief Horizon Quantum and Quantum Machines have announced a collaboration to develop embedded calibration technologies for Horizon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":833859,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[49,48,314,66],"class_list":["post-833858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-physics","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-physics","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=833858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833858\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/833859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=833858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=833858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=833858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
