Adoption roadblocks are slowing quantum innovation

Gaining a first-mover advantage by integrating quantum computing into your facility is out of reach for most organizations due to long and complex procurement processes, the need for expensive and scarce PhD-level quantum expertise, and the risk of pursuing projects that rely on untested components with unclear integration pathways.

Introducing QUB

A fully validated quantum architecture

The Quantum Utility Block (QUB) is a family of pre-validated, reference architectures for on-premises quantum computing jointly engineered by QuantWare, Qblox, and Q-CTRL. Built on interoperable hardware controlled by intelligent autonomous software, QUB delivers a modular, circuit-ready quantum computer that eliminates traditional procurement, installation, and operational barriers.

Choose from three QUB sizes – Small, Medium, and Large – designed for on-premises deployment for lab, enterprise, and HPC use-cases.

Your fastest path to quantum performance

QUB quickly delivers enterprise-ready outcomes from the moment your project begins:

Accelerated deployment: Validated architectures based on interoperable components reduce procurement from years to months.
Operational readiness: Autonomous calibration and performance management software minimize reliance on scarce quantum expertise and prepares systems for integration with hybrid HPC infrastructure.
Reduced total cost of ownership: Modular design and unified support reduce ownership costs by up to 10X.
Scalable growth to utility: Open, upgradable configurations grow to thousands of qubits and provide a clear upgrade path towards quantum utility.

QUB lets you rapidly deploy a high-performance, readily available system that scales with your needs.

Frequently asked questions

How is QUB pre-validated?

QUB systems represent the internal architecture that the component companies use to validate their individual products. This creates a consistent link between factory testing and deployed performance of all QUB deployments.

How is the QUB purchasing process different from building your own system?

QUB is a reference architecture – a blueprint for building quantum hardware. You get a detailed bill of materials for your chosen QUB size, which you can either purchase directly or source through a system integrator for a smoother setup. We’ve already confirmed all the components work together taking all of the uncertainty out of the process.

What if I want to use different components than those provided with the standard QUB's bills of materials?

The QUB bill of materials are specifically pre-validated because their components are continuously tested together as a system in various validation labs. These specific reference architectures make QUB effective as a fully operational quantum computer. Other vendor components (such as using a different QPU, controller, or software) are still compatible and supported by the QUB’s flexible open architecture; in that case validation and interoperability become the customer’s responsibility.
