The Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit known as QICK, is an RF control and readout system developed by engineers at Fermilab in collaboration with university research groups and industry partners, with the firmware, software, and hardware fully open source.

Italian native and Fermilab senior scientist, Anadi Canepa, is the current spokesperson for the CMS experiment at CERN. CMS is one of two large experiments at the LHC and has one of the largest scientific collaborations in the world.

Qblox announced a formalized CRADA alongside a full commercial licensing structure to manage the U.S. manufacturing, domestic supply chain coordination, and commercial distribution of the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit developed by Fermilab.
