QICK

In recognition of World Quantum Day, Fermilab’s Sara Sussman writes about the first benchmark from NEXUS qubit data. The new data has enabled the training of NVIDIA Ising Calibration, a vision language model for automating the calibration of quantum processors.

Fermilab and Stanford University researchers have developed XCOM, a novel network designed to synchronize quantum instrumentation and facilitate low-latency communication.

A new network architecture from Fermilab targets a key challenge in scaling quantum computing systems: low-latency, predictable communication across control hardware. The XCOM system connects multiple QICK boards in a mesh network, enabling synchronized operation and deterministic communication between distributed control electronics.

The Fermilab developed the QICK quantum control system links up with QASMTrans quantum compilation framework to bridge the gap between logical circuits and the underlying hardware.

Throughout this year, Fermilab’s dedicated scientists, engineers, technicians and operations staff came together to drive discoveries, advance American innovation and prepare the lab for a bright future.

An interview with Fermilab’s Gustavo Cancelo on the DOE launch of a partnership between Fermilab and Qblox to manufacture and distribute the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a partnership between Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Qblox, under which Qblox will coordinate manufacturing, distribution and support for the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK) to advance U.S. quantum research and workforce development.

A new scalable control platform called Manarat has been developed to expand the capabilities of QICK, an open-source platform developed at Fermilab. Manarat will help overcome scalability challenges currently facing superconducting quantum computing and unlocking the full potential of this transformative technology.
