Quantum Utility Block

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.

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:

  • Small: 5 qubits - Suitable for hardware research and small universities
  • Medium: Up to 21 qubits - Suitable for research labs and enterprises
  • Large: 41+ qubits - Suitable for large government and enterprise projects

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.

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

The blueprint for scalable quantum computers

QUB provides you with the blueprint to buy, deploy, validate and operate an on-premise quantum computer quickly and reliably.

  • QUB lets you rapidly deploy a high-performance, readily available system that scales with your needs
  • Validated hardware from QuantWare + Qblox
  • Automation and abstraction software by Q-CTRL for pushbutton operation
  • Access to trusted experts from all three partners
  • Purchasing options through system integrators 
or directly from the QUB vendors

Partnering with QuantWare, Q-CTRL, and Qblox is a powerful example of how open collaboration can lower barriers, reduce risk, and unlock immediate, real-world access to quantum capabilities—while also creating a national resource for training the next generation of quantum talent.
