Quantum Machines (QM) announces the integration of its advanced Observe, with Hamamatsu’s high-speed ORCA® -Quest camera. The collaboration between Quantum Machines and Hamamatsu pushes the boundaries of quantum computation, communication, and sensing. The combined solution integrates OPX with ORCA Cameras to provide ultra-fast camera readout capabilities for cold atoms and trapped-ions qubits.
QM’s Observe is a high-speed camera interface with an image processor that complements the OPX quantum control suite. This combination of Observe and ORCA cameras provides ultra-fast camera readout capabilities for cold atom and trapped-ion qubits. The integration not only boosts the speed but also maintains flexibility, allowing researchers to interface with personal computers for additional image processing capabilities.
Key Advantages:
● Real-time Image Processing: The solution achieves a market-leading image processing speed, offering quantum researchers unprecedented control over their experiments.
● Seamless OPX Integration: The integration with QM’s OPX facilitates effortless programming using the QUA language, ensuring feedback times below 100 µs, not including camera exposure and related delays.
● Trusted and Proven: The system’s reliability is evidenced by its adoption in prestigious laboratories and by leading quantum computing adopters globally.
Compatibility and Performance:
● OPX+ supports Camera Link and CoaXPress interfaces and is compatible with leading quantitative CMOS (qCMOS) cameras such as Hamamatsu’s.
● The Hamamatsu ORCA-Quest offers enhanced scalability thanks to its smaller pixel size and higher resolution. This improvement allows for the utilization of more compact optical configurations while also increasing the number of detectable samples.
● The solution guarantees real-time, deterministic frame acquisition and image processing.
