Founder and CEO, Michael J Biercuk, attended the IBM Q Summit in Yorktown Heights to reconnect with the startup sector, University partners, and the team at IBM.

Australia's first venture-capital backed quantum technology startup, Q-CTRL, will today release a new open-source library, putting the power of quantum control into the hands of developers worldwide.

Sydney quantum computing startup, Q-CTRL, will unveil a set of new "quantum firmware" techniques at the American Physical Society on Friday 8 March, in Boston, Massachusetts, which have the power to deliver large performance improvements for quantum computing hardware built by global companies like Google and IBM. These developments will help the community accelerate the path to the first useful quantum computers, capable of solving important problems in chemistry, drug discovery, and industry.

Things are getting real in the quantum technology space. And as quantum computing matures, the need for solutions helping to achieve high-performance control operations is growing.

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.
