Where TYNANA's
control stack unlocks scale.

We're pre-launch. We don't have signed customers yet. What we do have is a clear picture of where this architecture matters most — and the labs, foundries, and research programs we're designing the first prototype around. These are the deployment scenarios driving the spec.

Featured Use Case

A 100-qubit superconducting lab hitting its wiring ceiling.

The most concrete pain point in the field: a research team scaling a transmon processor past one hundred qubits, finding their dilution refrigerator out of room for coaxial lines and their RF rack out of power budget for the next doubling.

TYNANA's prototype targets exactly this audience. One fiber bundle replaces the coax fan-out; a co-packaged cryo-CMOS controller replaces the rack of room-temperature pulse drivers; the per-qubit gate timing stays programmable from the host.

Target Deployments

Six scenarios driving the spec.

These are the customer archetypes shaping our prototype roadmap. They're real conversations and real requirements — not signed deals. Each card lays out the pain, the architectural fit, and what the first deployment looks like.

Superconducting Qubits Target Customer

Transmon labs scaling past 100 qubits

Academic and corporate labs running 50–200 qubit transmon processors are out of physical room in their fridges and out of power budget on their RF racks. Each new qubit costs another coax line, another amplifier, another channel of room-temp electronics.

PainCoaxial fan-out limits scaling and adds heat load to the dilution refrigerator.
FitPhotonic distribution replaces the cable bundle; cryo-CMOS handles per-qubit gating in the fridge.
First step8–10 channel module bench-tested alongside a partner lab's existing setup.

Trapped Ion / Atom Target Customer

Multi-zone ion-trap and neutral-atom arrays

Trapped-ion and neutral-atom platforms already use optical control, but each beamline still terminates in benchtop drivers and acousto-optic modulators. Adding zones means duplicating the entire stack.

PainPer-zone optical control hardware doesn't scale to thousand-site arrays.
FitDWDM optical distribution + integrated modulators for pulse shaping at the trap.
First stepPulse-distribution sub-system retrofit alongside existing AOM rack.

Semiconductor Spin Target Customer

Silicon-spin qubits co-integrated with CMOS

Silicon and Si/SiGe spin qubit platforms are natural neighbors of CMOS — they're already on a semiconductor stack. What they need is a programmable cryogenic control plane that doesn't blow their thermal budget at <100 mK.

PainSpin-qubit roadmaps need extreme channel density and low cryogenic power dissipation.
FitCryo-CMOS controller co-located with the qubit die; photonic distribution moves the heat upstairs.

National labs and quantum research programs

National labs and federally-funded quantum testbeds are mandated to evaluate and de-risk emerging control architectures. They want technologies that are manufacturable on standard MPW and foundry CMOS, not one-off bespoke stacks.

PainNeed a path to scalable control that works across multiple qubit modalities.

QaaS providers managing fleet uniformity

Cloud quantum providers run heterogeneous fleets where calibration drift between machines is a constant headache. Lower per-channel power and a programmable cryo-side controller mean tighter, repeatable pulse shapes across the fleet.

Cryogenic classical computing & HPC pre-coolers

Beyond qubits, there's a real and growing demand for cryogenic classical compute — superconducting digital logic, in-fridge ML accelerators, dense interconnect for HPC. The same photonic-down / electronics-at-cold pattern applies.

PainCryogenic interconnect bandwidth scales poorly with copper.

Reference Deployment

First prototype: an 8–10 channel module in a partner lab.

Our first concrete deployment target is a small-channel-count hybrid module installed alongside a partner lab's existing transmon stack. The goal is end-to-end validation: optical pulses arriving at the fridge, recovered electrically by the controller, gating a real qubit, and feeding measurement data back through the same module.

"Programmable per-qubit timing without coaxial fan-out, on a manufacturable process node, in 2026 — that's the bar we set."

How We Engage

Three ways to work with us in 2026.

We're being deliberate about the first cohort. Slots in the prototype run go to teams that can give us tight feedback on the spec — not the biggest logo in the room. If one of these fits, we want to talk.

What we are honestly saying

TYNANA LLC was incorporated in 2026. We're a two-person founding team and the first prototype hasn't taped out yet. None of the use cases on this page are signed deployments — they're real conversations and target deployment scenarios driving how we spec the prototype. We'd rather show you the actual map than a stock photo with someone else's logo on it.

Got a workload that fits?

If your lab or program lines up with one of the use cases above — or with something we haven't thought of yet — we want to hear about it. The first prototype slots are reserved for teams shaping the spec.
