The Quantum Computer’s Brain

Quantum Machines (QM) is already developing systems that enable continuous quantum computation aimed at turning a quantum computer into a working machine with potential annual revenues estimated at tens of millions of dollars

Quantum Machines, one of the world’s leading companies in the field, focuses all its capabilities on developing and building control and operation systems (Quantum Control) for quantum computers. The company strategically chose to specialize in this critical layer, also known as “the brain of a quantum computer”, thereby enabling quantum processors (Quantum Processing Units – QPUs) to become consistent and useful computing resources. While many companies are developing quantum processors based on specific technologies, QM is developing a control system that works with all types of quantum processors.

The company was founded by three physicists who, through their work with quantum systems in the lab, understood that the real challenge is not simply performing quantum computation but also ensuring it remains stable and reproducible over time.

“We understood that building the computer was not enough – we also needed to know how to operate it efficiently”, says Itamar Sivan, the company’s CEO and co-founder. “We decided to focus on the way the system is operated, so that it works stably and consistently, with each operation timed precisely and every measurement integrated into the remainder of the computation, to make the results useful”, he adds.

The company’s platform functions much like an operating system for a quantum computer. It does not simply send commands to qubits and measure the results but also processes those results instantly and determines the next computational step in real time. Everything happens in a single sequence, in real time, so the computation doesn’t break down midway but rather progresses continuously.

This capability is based on a hybrid control architecture that seamlessly integrates quantum processors with classical computing systems. The platform supports various types of quantum computers, including superconducting, neutral-atom, spin-based, trapped-ion, and photonic platforms. This clear advantage enables it to work with all types of QPUs without being locked into a specific technological direction in a field whose dominant........
