Quantum Machines is a Tel Aviv, Israel-based quantum control company that builds the Quantum Orchestration Platform (QOP) — a unified hardware and software stack for controlling quantum processors at the pulse level. Its hardware portfolio centers on the OPX+ and OPX1000 controllers, which are built around a custom Pulse Processing Unit (PPU) architecture that executes classical control and real-time feedback alongside arbitrary waveform generation, with sub-microsecond classical-quantum round trips and 160 ns active reset latency. The platform is programmed in QUA, the company's domain-specific pulse-level language, exposed to developers through the qm-qua Python SDK and an extensive open-source ecosystem under the qua-platform GitHub organization (QUAlibrate, QUAM, qua-libs, py-qua-tools, qua-dashboards). Quantum Machines also ships peripheral hardware including the Octave up/down converter (to 18 GHz), QDAC-II ultra-low-noise DACs, QSwitch, QBox, and the QCage/QBoard/QFilter cryogenic line. The platform is qubit-modality agnostic, supporting superconducting, semiconductor spin, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, and color-center systems, and is used by university labs (MIT, Caltech, Harvard, Princeton, Weizmann) and quantum startups (Alice & Bob, Diraq, EeroQ). Quantum Machines has partnered with NVIDIA on the DGX Quantum hybrid quantum-classical compute platform and acquired the Delft-based QHarbor Bioscience team as a European R&D hub. Quantum Machines does not currently publish a public REST API, OpenAPI specification, or self-service developer signup; the QOP control surface is reached exclusively via the qm-qua Python SDK against an OPX/OPX1000 controller (hardware or qm-saas cloud simulator).
Quantum Machines is listed with 13 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Quantum Computing, Quantum Control, Pulse Level Programming, QUA, and OPX.
Quantum Machines’ developer surface includes documentation, GitHub presence, engineering blog, product news, support, YouTube channel, and 17 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Machine-Readable Auth+10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
13 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
