QuiX Quantum Delivers Carina Core Hardware Platform for 8-Qubit Photonic Quantum Computing
QuiX Quantum has delivered the Carina core hardware platform, an 8-qubit universal photonic quantum computing demonstrator based on 4-qubit graph states. The system, developed under the UPQC project with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), features chip-integrated photon sources, multiplexed generation of resource states, and a 10 MHz clock cycle with support for more than 10 optimized gate operations per cycle. A dedicated emulator provides simulation and circuit optimization capabilities. Carina advances practical research into algorithms such as Shor’s, Deutsch’s, Grover’s, and quantum teleportation while supporting error correction studies. The low-power design positions the platform for hybrid computing environments.
