SAN FRANCISCO - Tabor Electronics, a leading signal source company, announces an industry collaboration that has resulted in the release of the Echo-5Q, a full stack 5-Qubit Quantum Computer for research and education.
The Echo-5Q is the result of development efforts among Tabor Electronics LLC, Formfactor Inc., and QuantWare. 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. Tabor Electronics will present and publish the performance results at the world's largest physics conference, American Physical Society Meeting, in Minneapolis on March 4th in a paper called Exploring the Potential of a Commercially Available Superconducting QPU System, session G50.
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 staff development and testing of new technologies. The fully integrated, customizable solution is comprised of:
Tabor Electronics' Proteus Direct to RF Control Electronics for precision Qubit control
Tabor Electronics' Proteus - an open-source based python-based Qubit characterization software stack for easy operation
FormFactor's LF-600 Cryogen-free Dilution Refrigerator for a quiet environment down to 5 mK
QuantWare's Soprano Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) with five superconducting transmon qubits for proven, fast quantum computing
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 more than 100 years, which means we have iterated our hardware over multiple generations of products, improving capability and quality with every cycle. This has enabled us to get the best commercial performance out of the QuantWare QPU.'
