A new AI-based toolset developed by scientists at Q-CTRL enables quantum computers to optimize their own performance autonomously without user intervention.

Q-CTRL develops quantum control software to solve the hardest problems facing quantum technology, improving hardware performance and accelerating pathways to useful quantum computers and other technologies. We do this by leveraging the power of cloud computing - including parallelization and GPU acceleration.

The Q-CTRL back-end engineering team outline how they handle development environments and deployments at Q-CTRL.

We’re excited to announce that Q-CTRL is one of the first commercial partners with leveraging Rigetti’s Quil-T, an extension to their quantum instruction language (Quil) that significantly enhances the capabilities of their stack. Quil-T gives full control over the analog signals defining the machine language on hardware. In this blog post, we describe projects led by the Q-CTRL team leveraging our early access to the new Quil-T analog-layer programming API to improve the performance of Rigetti hardware.

With Google Cloud, Q-CTRL provides a dynamic, cost-effective, highly available infrastructure to support customers who aim to build products and services based on new-generation quantum technology.

Quantum computing is complex and TensorFlow Quantum is essential to allow quantum computers to perform complex gradient-based optimizations.

Join Michael Biercuk and Andre Carvalho as they talk about quantum control and the scalability of quantum computers.

In this blog post we describe a collaborative effort between Q-CTRL and IBM to generate and validate error-robust quantum logic operations using Q-CTRL’s BOULDER OPAL integrated directly into hardware via IBM’s Qiskit Pulse API. Our experiments - which demonstrate up to 10X improvements in coherent-error suppression and hardware stabilization on Valencia - provide an extraordinary use case for BOULDER OPAL, and were described last week at the IBM Quantum Summit.

Quantum Machines to integrate Q-CTRL firmware into its platform; firms to jointly offer foundational technologies to researchers in government, academia, industry

The Q-CTRL Back-end Engineering team recounts their experience attending the PyCon AU 2020 conference - including their insights into what they found to be the most valuable takeaways from the event - which, for the first time in the history of the conference, was held entirely online.

Q-CTRL has invested to preserve the best parts of a research-focused career while discarding the painful aspects of academia. We’re growing fast and would love for you to join us.

Q-CTRL announces Quantum Professional Services to assist organizations seeking to extract maximum achievable performance from today’s cloud-based quantum computers.
