The most powerful tools for quantum control in the industry
Deliver results faster
Boulder Opal is designed for speed. You can move your project forward faster and deliver major results on tight timelines with the world-leading AI automation tools.
Outsource painful hardware tuneup, calibration, and optimization tasks to automated agents that interact directly with your hardware
"I am very happy we decided to use your software and would recommend it to anyone wanting to use optimized pulses."
PhD Student, Chalmers University of Technology
Improve hardware performance
You can achieve dramatic improvements in quantum computer and quantum sensor hardware using Boulder Opal.
Robust control can reduce hardware sensitivity to noise and errors, and lab-validated noise characterization routines can help you pinpoint and eliminate sources of performance degradation.
"We have been using Boulder Opal for half a year and it has quickly become an essential tool in our research."
Trapped-ion Quantum Computing, University of Sussex

With our flexible graph-based optimization engine you can represent any complex quantum system at the Hamiltonian level and choose from a range of optimizers, synthesize solutions from arbitrary basis functions, add constraints, and even accommodate nonlinearities.
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.
You can access a comprehensive documentation suite to help you on your journey. Start with guided Tutorials and overview Topics, and move on to step-by-step “How To” User Guides for solving common problems in quantum computing and quantum sensing with Boulder Opal.
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.
Boulder Opal can be used in theoretical research, established hardware, and in bringing new systems online. In our Topics we show a range of simple workflows for different stages of hardware maturity.
