Altera FPGAs now support Riverlane’s quantum error correction interface
Altera and Riverlane have validated Riverlane’s quantum error correction interface (QECi) on Altera Agilex 7 FPGAs. The partnership is intended to give quantum hardware developers a flexible way to integrate low-latency error correction into control systems and to standardize data exchange between quantum control stacks and QEC hardware.

Quantum hardware teams using Agilex 7-based control electronics could adopt Riverlane’s decoder as a drop-in QEC layer, reducing integration time for early logical-qubit demonstrations.
Because QECi is now validated on a commercially available FPGA family already common in quantum control stacks, the remaining work is configuration and software alignment rather than building a custom interface from scratch. This could shorten the path from control system to closed-loop error correction for labs already using Altera hardware.
