FormFactor and Tabor Electronics Collaborate to Demonstrate a Full Stack 5-Qubit Quantum Computer, Powered by QuantWare
February 29 2024 - 4:01PM
FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM), a leading semiconductor test and
measurement supplier, together with Tabor Electronics LLC, today
presented the Echo-5Q project, a demonstration of a full stack
5-Qubit Quantum Computer for research and education, leveraging a
QPU supplied by QuantWare. The result of this collaboration shows
the ability of the partnering companies to support the quantum
industry with their respective technologies. The turnkey Quantum
Computer demonstrates a 250% improvement in T1 times compared to
similar small-scale systems, enabling higher qubit fidelity and
more quantum operations per cycle.
As the quantum computing industry expands rapidly, the need for
practical test beds and a trained workforce increases every year.
The Echo-5Q offers scientists and engineers immediate access to
high quality physical qubits for the development of staff and
testing of new technologies. The fully integrated, customizable
solution is comprised of:
- FormFactor’s LF-600 Cryogen-free Dilution Refrigerator for a
quiet environment down to 5 mK.
- Tabor Electronics’ Proteus Direct to RF Control Electronics for
simple, robust measurements.
- QuantWare’s Soprano-D Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) with five
superconducting transmon qubits that enables the construction of
quantum computers with improved reliability, ease, and speed.
- Tabor Electronics’ open-source EureQa Qubit Characterization
Software for easy operation.
Mark Elo, Chief Marketing Officer of Tabor Electronics commented
“Experience and longevity counts, and this has enabled us to get to
these outstanding results – FormFactor and Tabor combined have been
in business for over 100 years, which means we have iterated our
hardware over multiple generations of product, improving capability
and quality on every iteration, and this has enabled us to get the
best commercial performance out of the QuantWare QPU."
