Qblox has announced a strategic collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to advance hybrid classical-quantum computing. Under this initiative, Qblox’s advanced control systems will serve as a foundational element in HPE’s deployment of quantum hardware alongside large-scale high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
To run reliably within unified classical-quantum networks, quantum processors require highly deterministic, scalable control electronics. As quantum systems transition away from isolated physics laboratories and migrate toward enterprise supercomputing setups, the control layer has emerged as the critical translation layer between classical HPC engines and underlying quantum processing units (QPUs). Qblox’s modular instrumentation is engineered to solve these hardware bottlenecks across diverse qubit modalities, creating the robust integration layer necessary to support intensive scientific and industrial computing workloads.
“HPE brings unparalleled AI-native and high-performance computing infrastructure and a determined vision of the industry’s future to our partnership,” said Niels Bultink, CEO of Qblox. “Our commitment to building control layers that can connect quantum processors to supercomputing environments leads us to collaborations that help push the boundaries of what the industry can achieve.”

Through the joint engineering project, Qblox and HPE will focus on developing high-fidelity, integrated testbeds built to refine hybrid algorithm co-design, establish software interoperability standards, and conduct system-level performance benchmarking. The joint roadmap is explicitly designed to accelerate unified data workflows across traditional supercomputing clusters and modern AI factory environments, paving the way for commercial-grade quantum applications.
“HPE is committed to advancing the convergence of supercomputing, AI, and quantum computing technologies to unlock new scientific discoveries and industrial innovation,” said Masoud Mohseni, Director of HPE Quantum and Senior Distinguished Technologist at HPE Labs. “The collaboration with Qblox aims to merge classical HPC that provides a critical layer of scalable, high-precision control to quantum computing bridging processors. Hybrid classical-quantum architectures support interoperability and performance at scale, accelerating the path toward practical, real-world quantum applications.”
This architecture highlights a broader industry shift: as quantum accelerators graduate into production environments, scalable quantum control is no longer optional but an architectural necessity. By aligning with HPE, Qblox is actively establishing the framework for highly synchronized, hybrid infrastructure capable of resolving complex, large-scale computing challenges for the future.
