Qblox Control Systems Enable HPE’s Scalable Quantum Integration

Qblox control systems are now part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s strategy to integrate quantum technologies with existing high-performance computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure. The collaboration aims to bridge the gap between quantum processors and classical supercomputing environments, a critical step as quantum systems move beyond isolated laboratory settings. Qblox’s modular control hardware is designed to support development of these hybrid classical-quantum environments across multiple qubit modalities, promising versatility for a range of quantum processors. “HPE brings unparalleled AI-native and high-performance computing infrastructure and a determined vision of the industry’s future to our partnership,” said Niels Bultink, CEO of Qblox. This work intends to advance computational workflows and enable scalable quantum technologies applicable to both scientific and industrial challenges.

Qblox Control Systems Enable HPE’s Hybrid Classical-Quantum Integration

This isn’t simply about adding quantum processors; it’s about establishing a reliable interface connecting those processors to classical HPC systems, addressing a key bottleneck in the field. Qblox systems are engineered to provide the scalable, deterministic control electronics necessary for these increasingly complex architectures as they transition from isolated laboratory settings to full integration with HPC and AI environments. This collaboration will focus on developing integrated testbeds for hybrid algorithm co-design, software interoperability, and system-level performance benchmarking, essential steps in refining computational workflows that leverage both HPC and quantum resources. Masoud Mohseni, Director of HPE Quantum and Senior Distinguished Technologist at HPE Labs, underscored the importance of scalable, high-precision control in merging classical HPC with quantum computing, noting that hybrid architectures support interoperability and performance at scale. Qblox’s role is not merely to supply hardware, but to enable the development of tailored hybrid classical-quantum computing environments designed for large-scale scientific and industrial workloads, representing a significant step toward realizing the full potential of quantum computation.
