Come out ahead in the competitive field of quantum research.
The Challenges Facing Researchers in Quantum Technology
Hardware Issues: Quantum experiments are derailed by everything from unstable qubits, to instrument noise on the control lines, to setup downtimes for maintenance.
Software Complexities: An ever-changing landscape of software tools and packages makes coding a new quantum stack feel exhausting. The only thing worse is having to debug legacy code written by a postdoc who left years ago.
Personnel Turnover: Group members graduate; postdocs move on to start their own labs. This leads to knowledge gaps in the team and can overwhelm them with how much there is still to understand about the physics, instrumentation, and codebase.
Publication Pressures: After months of toiling in the lab, and then months fighting to publish those results, your paper is finally out. And then the slow, uncertain grant-writing cycle to fund the next project and the next publication starts again.
Eliminate Noise from Your Control Electronics
In quantum experiments, even minor noise can compromise measurement quality. Instruments with subpar noise characteristics can limit your research by reducing qubit gate fidelity or qubit sensitivity. Our hardware is engineered to excel in quantum experiments, ensuring that your measurements remain uncompromised. With low output noise, robust synchronization, and gapless waveform playback, you can trust in consistent, high-quality results.
Disentangle Your Code
Developing and maintaining software stacks distract from actually running experiments and can cause your research to fall behind. LabOne Q is designed to streamline your coding as much as possible: It's intuitive, open-source, and offers interfaces to other software packages, such as OpenQASM. With extensive code examples and ready-to-go experiment implementations, LabOne Q not only simplifies software development but also reduces experiment runtime.
Lean on Our Expertise
Knowledge often gets lost when research group members pass the baton, and training takes time. Our Application Scientists have PhDs in quantum technology and hands-on lab experience. They don't just offer support; they actively help your team set up, optimize, and troubleshoot experiments so that you can focus on results, not re-learning the basics.
Publish High-Impact Research
In the race of quantum technology research, slow funding cycles and demanding grant timelines make unproven solutions risky: The choices you make today influence your research for years. Zurich Instruments has a long-standing history of supporting leading researchers in their ambitious goals, as shown by numerous high-impact publications in quantum technology. Our commitment to instrumentation excellence ensures that your research is built on a strong foundation.
Using the SHFQC with LabOne Q Applications Library’s tuneup workflow, we were able to get started quickly on characterizing qubits — we measured T1 and T2 times on a new chip within hours.

I have worked with several companies, but I can say that the company’s customer support is some of the best I have seen. They go through the experimental details and difficulties of your experiment while going further and even proposing new solutions. We appreciate that.

LabOne Q has a high degree of freedom in writing complex pulse sequences, and the ability to easily visualize those pulse sequences using the Plot Simulator feature, which is a huge merit.

Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)
It goes without saying that quantum systems are complicated, so working with a supplier...who understands the underlying issues and builds products designed for quantum systems saved us time and money.

We like the high channel density, the very small footprint and the fact that synchronization not only works between channels of the same instrument but also across several instruments.

For fast and efficient tune-up of superconducting qubits, the double-super heterodyne conversion schematic of the Zurich Instruments SHFQC helps save a lot of time in the lab by eliminating the need to calibrate mixers.

Generating the particular pulses...for semiconductor spin qubits can be quite complicated, and finding ways to efficiently create and upload them is a daily challenge...That's one of the things we're excited about with the HDAWG.
Prof. John Nichol
University of Rochester
We want to thank the technical support team for their fast and informative response on our past inquiries to explore the functions of HDAWG.

We use Zurich Instruments' equipment for low-noise and high-resolution control signal generation as well as for readout with FPGA-based fast signal processing. If we had to build control electronics on a large scale with similar characteristics in terms of noise level, synchronization and phase stability, that would distract us from our core research activities.

The Zurich Instruments Quantum Computing Control System (QCCS) made it possible to set up and start the measurement of qubits very quickly. The QCCS solution also made it more efficient and easier to configure complex measurement settings as the number of qubits increased.

I would add that the most valuable aspect lies in having people on both sides who speak the same language...building larger quantum computers through larger devices, advanced control capabilities, or better instrument performance.
