Qendra offers an integrated control platform for trapped‑ion and neutral‑atom quantum computing experiments, combining precise RF waveform generation, high‑speed region‑based imaging, and ultra‑stable multi‑channel voltage output. Built on a unified ARTIQ/Sinara hardware foundation, the suite (Qendra Pulse, Vision, and Volt) provides deterministic timing, low jitter, and scalable synchronization through a single sequencer, accessible via web‑GUI and Python APIs. This plug‑and‑play solution eliminates fragmented custom electronics, accelerating research lab and quantum‑technology development.

Problem
Quantum computing experiments with trapped ions and neutral atoms require precise, synchronized control of many analog, RF, and digital signals, as well as high-speed imaging and voltage generation. Existing control setups are often fragmented, manually integrated, and lack scalability, leading to time‑intensive development and unreliable operation.
Solution
Qendra provides an integrated control platform tailored for trapped‑ion and neutral‑atom quantum computing. The suite includes Qendra Pulse for coherent RF waveform generation, Qendra Vision for high‑speed, region‑based camera readout, and Qendra Volt for ultra‑stable multi‑channel analog voltage output. All modules share a common hardware foundation based on ARTIQ/Sinara and are synchronized through a single sequencer, enabling deterministic timing across the entire experimental sequence. The system offers networked web‑GUI and Python APIs for real‑time configuration, allowing researchers to program cooling, state preparation, qubit manipulation, and readout without manual hardware wiring. By consolidating these functions into a scalable, plug‑and‑play solution, Qendra eliminates the need for custom, ad‑hoc control electronics and accelerates experimental throughput.
Target Audience
Primary customers are research labs and quantum‑technology companies developing trapped‑ion or neutral‑atom quantum processors, as well as AMO laboratories requiring synchronized control of lasers, voltages, and high‑speed imaging.
