Qubic develops low-noise superconducting microwave hardware for quantum control, readout and sensing research. Its current cryogenic-amplifier programme centres on KI-TWPA devices and supporting components and software.
Technical detail
Core features
Cryogenic microwave amplification for quantum-system integration
Multiplexed qubit-readout applications
Supporting components and software for test and evaluation
Quantum-microwave
Cryogenic-electronics
Use & integration
Recorded applications
Quantum-computing control and readout
Low-noise microwave sensing research
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
Qubic announced an ISC Testing Stream order for nine amplifiers in September 2026, with delivery milestones expected by spring 2027. This establishes a test procurement, not an operational quantum-radar deployment.
Commercial availability
Research and quantum-system customers can scope hardware integration and evaluation. Device performance and thermal projections require configuration-specific test evidence.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.

Qubic announced an ISC Testing Stream contract for nine cryogenic amplifiers plus components and software in September 2026, with delivery milestones expected by spring 2027. The KI-TWPA offer targets low-noise microwave amplification and multiplexed qubit readout; projected thermal performance remains a vendor claim. The government purchase is for test and evaluation with customer feedback; it is not deployment of an operational quantum radar. The announcement separately identifies a Quantum Machines commercial contract, without converting either order into universal device qualification.
