Qolab's groundbreaking superconducting qubit device has been successfully deployed at the Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC), marking a significant milestone in the quantum computing field. This achievement is a result of a collaboration between Qolab, Quantum Machines (QM), and the IQCC, showcasing the potential of superconducting qubits for real-world applications.
The device, based on the groundbreaking physics that earned Professor John Martinis the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, is designed for high fidelity, noise reduction, and scalable fabrication. This technology is a significant advancement in the transition of quantum computing from fragile laboratory systems to dependable computing platforms. Qolab's superconducting qubits are engineered to reduce flux noise and decoherence, ensuring reliable manufacturing using advanced semiconductor processes.
As part of this 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 unprecedented access to next-generation, industrial quantum hardware will enable scientists and developers to explore and advance quantum computing technologies.
The integration of Qolab's processor into the IQCC exemplifies the flexibility and capability of Quantum Machines' hybrid control technology. This technology, designed and operated by QM with support from the Israel Innovation Authority, 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 scientific breakthroughs 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."
The Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC), located at Tel Aviv University and supported by the Israel Innovation Authority, 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.
