With Boulder Opal, Northwestern was able to design noise-robust pulses for cold atom interferometers 10x better than alternatives, opening the way to build devices capable of detecting dark matter and gravitational waves.
different noise sources can be suppressed simultaneously with a single optimized robust control pulse for atom interferometry.
The breadth and flexibility of Boulder Opal allowed us to create our own optimization scenario and obtain pulses robust to the five most relevant experimental noise sources at the same time! This will be crucial in the development of atomic interferometers to detect dark matter and gravitational waves at currently unexplored frequencies.
Start with our free Basic plan and upgrade if you need to further accelerate research and development progress.
Fully configured solutions, exclusive toolkits, and accelerated computation to solve the toughest challenges of scaling up your quantum hardware.
Boulder Opal cloud licenses can accommodate an unlimited number of users. We provide recommendations for different license tiers for different group sizes to ensure that internal competition among users does not lead to computational delays.
Hybrid cloud combines local deployment for low-latency execution with cloud acceleration for compute-intensive tasks. The Boulder Opal Scale Up package can be customized based on needs.
Number of calculations can be run concurrently across multiple cloud-hosted machines to accelerate computation. Having a higher concurrency is useful when you want to speed up your calculations or share computational resources within your team.
Number of hours of running a single cloud-hosted CPU machine in a year. You can buy additional machine time to supplement your Essentials, Performance or Professional plan.
You can access a comprehensive documentation suite to help you on your journey, starting with Get started guide, and Tutorials.
We have independently validated and published technical validation of key demonstrations on hardware through our research - this includes device-level demonstrations of improvements >10X.
We have also established a range of hardware validations with our customers and R&D partners around the world, collected in our case studies.
