News and updates

Professor Michael Biercuk, founder and CEO of Q-CTRL, has hit go on the Open Beta stage for Black Opal, our groundbreaking quantum control software package.

This week we highlight a paper jointly written by IBM Research in New York and Q-CTRL in Sydney that sets out to standardize quantum software user-interfaces with back-end data structures for quantum programming.

Q-CTRL's chief executive and founder, Professor Michael Biercuk, this week was a guest at one of Asia's most important leadership conferences, the Singapore Summit 2018.

Now that the alpha release of Black Opal is out, at Q-CTRL we are hard at work ensuring that the public release of the world's first cloud-based quantum control software will be packed full of the features you need to control your quantum future.

The Q-CTRL office was buzzing when I sat down with some of the team to discuss the successful alpha launch of Black Opal, the company's first product.

When will quantum computers be ready for business? Will they be useful? How can we benefit from them? And how can we build a quantum economy?

Congratulations to our founder & CEO, Professor Michael J Biercuk on being announced as a Finalist in the 2019 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for ‘Promoting Understanding of Science’.

At Q-CTRL we are obviously deadly serious about our science. We want to help you extract maximum performance from your quantum hardware. But scientific excellence and technical advantage are just the beginning.

Computational innovation has moved far beyond developing the next killer app. The new frontiers of information technology are in artificial intelligence, blockchain and quantum computation.

Australia's first quantum technology start-up completes initial seed round. Three global technology funding giants have invested in Q-CTRL, Australia’s first venture-capital-backed quantum technology company, established by the University of Sydney’s Professor Michael Biercuk.

The journey to realizing functional quantum computers will be long and it's a path that Q-CTRL is committed to making as easy as possible for you.

We know that quantum bits - the heart of quantum technology - are tricky beasts. They are sensitive, easily knocked out of their quantum state due to interference from the environment. 'Noise', as this is called, is something they do not deal well with. Things get even more sensitive when we consider maintaining 'entanglement' between qubits as well.
