Quantum computing is on the cusp of breakthroughs, but the challenges are considerable. Scalability, reliability and precision are crucial — especially if systems are to operate in laboratories around the world. This was also the experience of Qblox, a fast-growing Dutch scale-up that develops control electronics for quantum computers.
No standard enclosure was suitable for their qubit control electronics. Qblox needed a solution that was not only mechanically robust and EMC-compliant, but could also adapt to different configurations, customer requirements and their own ambitions. At the same time, valuable engineering time needed to be spent on their core technology, not on enclosure design.
Together with Koning & Hartman and nVent SCHROFF, Qblox found the solution in semi-custom chassis: configurable, scalable and featuring the company’s own branding. By making clever use of existing platforms and customisation where necessary, Qblox was able to move more quickly from prototype to commercial application without compromising on quality or appearance.
The result? A future-proof system that is both functionally and aesthetically sound and can be easily adapted for future generations of quantum technology.
“It’s clear that nVent SCHROFF and Koning & Hartman look beyond just the shape of the enclosure. Their expertise, from design through to series production, really makes all the difference.”
- Jules van Oven, CTO & co-founder of Qblox
