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).
