and an open system architecture specifically designed for teaching,\n evaluation, and hands on technology development.
1. Purpose-built superconducting\n quantum hardware
The Qubit-in-a-Box 2 (QiB2) superconducting quantum chip is specifically\n designed for
teaching, characterization, and evaluation of superconducting quantum\n devices. It
incorporates both individual qubits and coupled qubit structures\n of different types,
enabling experiments with progressively increasing levels\n of complexity. This makes
the platform unique in the market and suitable for\n education ranging from bachelor’s and master’s courses to PhD-level training and research\n projects. Unlike systems primarily designed for remote quantum-computing access or\n narrowly defined research applications, the QiB2 provides direct experimental access\n to the underlying quantum hardware and its physical behavior.
2. Proven cryogenic\n infrastructure
The system is based on dilution-refrigerator technology from Bluefors\n Oy, Finland, the leading supplier of cryogenic systems for superconducting quantum-computing\n applications. Bluefors has extensive experience in the installation and operation\n of dilution refrigerators in quantum research environments, providing a mature and\n reliable cryogenic foundation for both teaching and experimental work.
3.\n Integrated quantum-control platform
The control electronics from Quantum Machines\n provide a native quantum-control
environment purpose-built for quantum processors.\n The platform combines real-time orchestration with intuitive pulse-level programming,\n supporting both educational
exploration and advanced research without requiring\n the customer to develop a
custom control-hardware stack. This integrated approach\n is essential for maximizing the QiB2’s pedagogical value, enabling rapid iteration\n in university teaching and evaluation workflows, and establishing a robust foundation\n for future in-house hardware and software development.
4. Open architecture\n and comprehensive educational scope
A key differentiator of the Plug’N’Teach system\n is its open architecture and the
horizontal integration of leading component\n providers in superconducting quantum
computing within a platform explicitly focused\n on education and workforce
development. The system is designed not as a closed\n appliance, but as an
environment in which students and researchers can access,\n understand,
characterize, and modify multiple layers of the technology stack.
Users\n are therefore able not only to operate a quantum computer, but also to study the interaction\n between quantum devices, cryogenic systems, control electronics, pulse sequences,\n calibration procedures, and software. They can develop their own hardware and software\n solutions and benchmark them against the reference configuration provided by the Plug’N’Teach\n system.
This breadth is particularly important for quantum-workforce development.\n Building
and operating quantum computers requires expertise extending well beyond\n PhD-level
quantum physics and includes competencies in electrical engineering,\n microwave engineering, cryogenics, control systems, software development, calibration,\n system integration, operation, and maintenance.
For these reasons, the distinguishing\n feature of the ConScience Plug’N’Teach solution is not only the single components\n in isolation, but the availability of this specific combination of
purpose-built\n superconducting quantum hardware, established cryogenic infrastructure, native quantum-control\n electronics, open system access, and structured educational support in one integrated\n platform.
To the best of our knowledge, no other supplier currently offers an\n equivalent complete system with the same combination of capabilities and educational\n scope.\n Identifikator for proceduren: 8a814d1c-e39b-44dd-9ee6-d17f968a9d74\n Intern ID: e8ddca79-f8cd-4dde-8f83-44193b043ed3\n Udbudsprocedure: Udbud med forhandling uden forudgående offentliggørelse\n 2.1.1 FormålKontraktens hovedformål: Varer\n Primær klassifikation (cpv): 38000000 Laboratorieudstyr, optisk udstyr og præcisionsudstyr (ikke briller)\n Supplerende klassifikation (cpv): 38515200 Fluorescensmikroskoper\n \n 2.1.2 UdførelsesstedPostadresse: Fredrik Bajers Vej 7C \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Nordjylland (DK050)\n \n \n 2.1.4 Generelle oplysninger\n \n \n \n \n 5 Delkontrakt5.1 Delkontrakt: LOT-0000Titel: Plug’N’Teach quantum computer and training\n Beskrivelse: The ConScience Plug’N’Teach quantum computer and its associated training offering\n are unique in the market because they combine, within a single integrated educational\n platform, superconducting quantum hardware, cryogenic infrastructure, quantum-control\n electronics,

Purpose-built superconducting quantum hardware\nThe Qubit-in-a-Box 2 (QiB2) superconducting quantum chip is specifically designed for \nteaching, characterization, and evaluation of superconducting quantum devices. It \nincorporates both individual qubits and coupled qubit structures of different types, \nenabling experiments with progressively increasing levels of complexity. This makes \nthe platform unique in the market and suitable for education ranging from bachelor’s and master’s courses to PhD-level training and research projects. Unlike systems primarily designed for remote quantum-computing access or narrowly defined research applications, the QiB2 provides direct experimental access to the underlying quantum hardware and its physical behavior.\n\n2. Proven cryogenic infrastructure\nThe system is based on dilution-refrigerator technology from Bluefors Oy, Finland, the leading supplier of cryogenic systems for superconducting quantum-computing applications. Bluefors has extensive experience in the installation and operation of dilution refrigerators in quantum research environments, providing a mature and reliable cryogenic foundation for both teaching and experimental work.\n\n3. Integrated quantum-control platform\nThe control electronics from Quantum Machines provide a native quantum-control \nenvironment purpose-built for quantum processors. The platform combines real-time orchestration with intuitive pulse-level programming, supporting both educational \nexploration and advanced research without requiring the customer to develop a \ncustom control-hardware stack. This integrated approach is essential for maximizing the QiB2’s pedagogical value, enabling rapid iteration in university teaching and evaluation workflows, and establishing a robust foundation for future in-house hardware and software development.\n\n4. Open architecture and comprehensive educational scope\nA key differentiator of the Plug’N’Teach system is its open architecture and the \nhorizontal integration of leading component providers in superconducting quantum \ncomputing within a platform explicitly focused on education and workforce \ndevelopment. The system is designed not as a closed appliance, but as an \nenvironment in which students and researchers can access, understand, \ncharacterize, and modify multiple layers of the technology stack.\nUsers are therefore able not only to operate a quantum computer, but also to study the interaction between quantum devices, cryogenic systems, control electronics, pulse sequences, calibration procedures, and software. They can develop their own hardware and software solutions and benchmark them against the reference configuration provided by the Plug’N’Teach system.\nThis breadth is particularly important for quantum-workforce development.
