Tabor Electronics, a leading signal source company, has recently announced an industry collaboration resulting in the release of the Echo-5Q, a full stack 5-Qubit Quantum Computer for research and education. The Echo-5Q is the outcome of development efforts among Tabor Electronics, Formfactor, 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, the American Physical Society Meeting, in Minneapolis on March 4th in a paper titled "Exploring the Potential of a Commercially Available Superconducting QPU System", at 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:
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."
