Core Capabilities

Qolab Start is Qolab’s first deployable superconducting QPU platform for reliable hardware research and workforce development, available on-premise or via cloud access.

1  Turn-key experimental platform

Engineered for stable, high-fidelity experiments with carefully designed packaging, wiring, filtering, and shielding—so researchers can trust their data from day one.

2  High-quality qubits

Processors and resonators fabricated and characterized in-house by Qolab, providing researchers with a reliable benchmark for validating system performance.

3  Pulse-level hardware control

Direct access to microwave and flux pulses enables real-time qubit manipulation, calibration workflows, and advanced quantum control experiments.

4  Parallel research with multi-device loading

Load and switch between up to six devices in a single cooldown—enabling parallel research, benchmarking, and education on shared infrastructure.

What is Qolab Start?

Qolab Start is a superconducting quantum processing unit (QPU) platform designed for hardware research, device characterization, and pulse-level experimentation. It provides researchers with direct access to qubit behavior without the need to build custom cryogenic or control infrastructure from scratch.

Who is Qolab Start for?

Qolab Start is intended for:
• University research labs
• National laboratories
• Semiconductor and hardware R&D teams
• Quantum engineering programs

It is optimized for users who need low-level control and reproducible experiments, rather than high-level algorithm access only.

What level of access do researchers get?

Researchers receive pulse-level and device-level access, enabling:
• Custom pulse sequences
• Qubit calibration routines
• Noise and coherence measurements
• Control electronics experimentation
• Integration with external measurement tools

This is not a black-box system — it is designed for transparency and experimentation.

Is custom infrastructure required?

No. Qolab Start is a turn-key platform that includes essential components such as cryogenic integration, control interfaces, and calibration tooling. Labs do not need to design or assemble a full stack of quantum hardware to begin experiments.

Can Qolab Start be accessed remotely?

Yes. The platform can be deployed on-premise or accessed through secure cloud connectivity, depending on institutional requirements and security policies.

What kind of experiments can be performed?

Typical use cases include:
• Qubit characterization and benchmarking
• Control electronics validation
• Error mitigation and noise studies
• Fabrication process comparison
• Education and training in superconducting qubit control

How scalable is the system?

Qolab Start is designed as a modular research platform. It supports incremental upgrades in qubit count, control electronics, and integration layers, allowing teams to scale experiments without replacing the entire system.

Does Qolab provide support and documentation?

Yes. The platform includes:
• Technical documentation
• API and control interface guides
• Calibration workflows
• Direct engineering support options
• Training sessions for new teams

How is Qolab Start different from cloud-only quantum services?

Most cloud quantum services provide algorithm-level access only. Qolab Start provides hardware-level access, allowing researchers to work with pulse control, calibration, and device physics — which is essential for hardware innovation and engineering research.

What are the facility requirements?

Qolab Start is designed to fit within standard laboratory environments. Power, cooling, and network requirements are comparable to other advanced scientific instrumentation, and detailed specifications are provided during deployment planning.
