The Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC) has become the first facility worldwide to install Qolab’s superconducting qubit device outside of the company’s US headquarters. The announcement was made in Tel Aviv by Professor John Martinis, Qolab founder and recipient of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, alongside IQCC executives.
As part of the collaboration, Qolab’s devices located at its Madison, Wisconsin facility will be made accessible through the IQCC cloud, offering researchers worldwide the ability to experiment with superconducting qubit technology in an international infrastructure for the first time.
The integration of Qolab’s processor into IQCC’s facility was made possible using hybrid control technology developed by Israeli startup Quantum Machines, which operates IQCC. The centre, the brainchild of the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) as part of Israel’s National Quantum Initiative launched in 2018, combines multiple quantum modalities with classical high-performance computing systems and cloud access, enabling hybrid quantum-classical workflows in a unified environment.
Other quantum computing companies that are currently hosted in IQCC include QuantWare (superconducting QPUs), ORCA (photonic) and ColdQuanta (ultracold atoms), along with a number of software and HPC-quantum integration companies.
