Quantum Machines and Oxford Instruments Partner to Accelerate Quantum Computing Advancements

Quantum Machines, a leading provider of quantum control solutions, and Oxford Instruments, a provider of cryogenic systems, have partnered to streamline the purchasing process for quantum research labs. Quantum Machines’ products will now be available through Oxford Instruments’ sales channels, allowing customers to purchase all necessary components from one vendor. The partnership aims to accelerate quantum research by simplifying procurement and providing top-tier performance. The collaboration has already demonstrated success at Glasgow University, where Quantum Machines’ hardware showed high compatibility with Oxford Instruments’ refrigerators.

Quantum Machines and Oxford Instruments Partnership

Quantum Machines, a company known for its quantum control solutions, and Oxford Instruments, a provider of cryogenic systems, have announced a new partnership. This collaboration aims to streamline the purchasing process for customers working on superconducting and spin qubit systems. The partnership will allow customers to acquire all necessary components from a single vendor, thus simplifying procurement.

The partnership will offer several benefits to customers. These include integrating products before shipment, unified support and warranty, and single shipment. Quantum Machines’ full range of products will now be available when purchasing Proteox dilution refrigerator systems from Oxford Instruments. This collaboration is expected to accelerate the speed at which quantum researchers can make their first measurements.

Past Collaborations and Synergies

The two companies have previously worked together, demonstrating technical solid synergies between their products. In a recent deployment, Quantum Machines hardware showed high compatibility with Oxford Instruments refrigerators. The Quantum Machines’ OPX+ was introduced into the QMS (quantum-measurement-as-a-service lab) at Glasgow University, achieving experimental results at record speeds. The room temperature control hardware from Quantum Machines was seamlessly connected to the low-temperature environment for superconducting qubits from Oxford Instruments, demonstrating the convenience of the measurement setup.

Quantum Machines’ QDevil Range

Quantum Machines’ QDevil range of cryogenic components has always complemented the dilution refrigerators from Oxford Instruments. This partnership is expected to enhance this relationship further. The QDevil range is designed to work seamlessly with Oxford Instruments’ refrigeration systems, providing a comprehensive package for quantum laboratories.

Reactions to the Partnership

The partnership has been met with enthusiasm from both companies. Itamar Sivan, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Machines, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating that it would revolutionize the quantum research field. He highlighted the benefits of integrating Quantum Machines’ quantum control systems with Oxford Instruments’ cryogenic solutions, offering researchers a comprehensive package for their laboratories.

Matt Martin, Managing Director of Oxford Instruments NanoScience, commented on the partnership. He noted the successful past collaborations between the two companies and expressed optimism about the benefits of this partnership to their shared customer base. By streamlining procurement, the partnership aims to break down potential barriers and accelerate customers’ speed to first measurement.
