Quantum machines launches open acceleration stack

Quantum Machines has launched the Open Acceleration Stack, a framework designed to let users integrate any classical processor, or XPU, into a quantum control stack. The architecture is positioned to make quantum computers not only Quantum Error Correction-ready and Artificial Intelligence-ready, but also Quantum Error Correction-native and Artificial Intelligence-native.

The Open Acceleration Stack expands Quantum Machines’ Orchestration Platform, which is described as a hardware and software framework for the control and operation of quantum processors. The new framework connects the company’s proprietary Pulse Processing Unit with high-performance accelerators, including GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs and ASICs.

Using Quantum Machines’ OPNIC, or OPX Network Interface Card, and NVIDIA NVQLink, the framework enables an ultra-low, microsecond-level latency link between its proprietary Pulse Processing Unit and external compute accelerators. The launch is presented alongside NVIDIA and AMD, underscoring a push to connect quantum control systems more directly with broader high-performance computing hardware.
