Qblox and Riverlane Announce Strategic Collaboration to Deliver Integrated Quantum Error Correction Solution

The combined platform offers a clear path to error-corrected computation at scale. Companies to discuss the solution at APS Global Physics Summit on Tuesday, 3/17.

DELFT, Netherlands and BOSTON, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Qblox, a leading provider of open-architecture quantum control electronics, and Riverlane, the quantum error correction (QEC) company, announced advancement of their strategic collaboration to bring real-time quantum error correction to the global quantum computing market. The collaboration pairs Riverlane's QEC technology, utilizing ultra-fast decoders capable of correcting millions of errors per second, with Qblox's high-performance control hardware, creating a platform for reliable, error-corrected quantum systems.

This collaboration addresses the challenge that inherently error-prone qubits create for commercial utility. Critically, it removes one of the industry's most persistent speed bottlenecks: the ability to decode and respond to quantum errors fast enough to prevent error accumulation. By combining both companies' complementary technologies, Riverlane and Qblox offer a single, integrated solution to tomorrow's fault-tolerant systems without the complexity of sourcing and integrating components independently.

The deployment brings together Qblox's high-fidelity,ultra-low-latency and high-throughput control hardware required for real-time error correction with Riverlane's Deltaflow , now directly integrated with Qblox's control architecture to enable sub-microsecond feedback between detection and correction. This solution jointly pushes capacity to 300 physical qubits and 5 logical qubits, enabling up to 50,000 QuOps. Supported by Riverlane's Deltakit open-source SDK for teams building error-corrected workflows, the full stack represents a production-ready foundation for fault-tolerant quantum computing at scale. By offloading decoding to a specialized high-performance layer, the architecture frees primary system resources to focus on increasing qubit counts without sacrificing computational fidelity, creating a scalable foundation for long-term growth.

"Real-time quantum error correction is fundamental to scaling quantum computing to commercially useful systems. The integration of Riverlane's Deltaflow technology into our commercial quantum data centre marked an important milestone on that journey." said Dr. Peter Leek, CSO and founder of Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC). " Through our collaborations with partners such as Riverlane and Qblox, we are demonstrating how tightly integrated control and error-correction technologies can accelerate the path toward reliable, commercially viable quantum computers."

"By directly integrating Deltaflow 2 into the Qblox control stack, we have moved beyond theory and removed a critical latency barrier to scalable error correction," said Niels Bultink, CEO of Qblox. "Real-time quantum error correction is the defining challenge of our era, and this is exactly the kind of collaboration that will define the next phase of quantum innovation."

"Real-time quantum error correction is the cornerstone of making quantum computers truly useful, and this collaboration is proof that we're no longer just talking about it," said Steve Brierley, CEO and Founder of Riverlane. "Qblox's control hardware gives us the ultra-low-latency foundation Deltaflow 2 needs to deliver real error correction across real hardware."

To learn more about this solution, join Qblox, Riverlane, and other industry leaders for "Building Quantum Together: Quantum Error Correction" at the APS Global Physics Summit 2026 in Denver on Tuesday, March 17. Taking place from 3:10 to 3:30 p.m. MDT at the Qblox booth (#810), the discussion will feature Francesco Battistel, Roadmap Leader at Qblox, Laura Caune, Senior Quantum Scientist at Riverlane, and Linsey Rodenbach, Developer Relations Manager, Quantum Computing at NVIDIA.
