Design superior quantum hardware
Faster innovation, higher fidelities, greater automation.
The problem
Hardware instability kills performance
Don't let decoherence, noise, and errors stop your research.
Overcoming instability is essential to building the next generation of quantum hardware. Whether it's a new device architecture or a unique quantum system, controlling the quantum realm is always a bottleneck.
The old ways—manual operation, on/off pulsing, purely analytic models—just can't keep up with the pace of innovation. Researchers at the cutting edge need access to quantum control solutions as advanced as their hardware designs in order to push the frontiers of knowledge.
INTRODUCING BOULDER OPAL TOOLKIT
Solve fundamental quantum hardware and control problems
The Boulder Opal Toolkit provides the most advanced technologies for quantum control design, operation, and automation in your hands through a simple and powerful python package.
Gain the insights you're seeking by putting quantum control to work
A complete toolkit spanning Hamiltonian-level simulation, control design, and closed-loop optimization.
Simulation
Build digital twins for your quantum system, incorporating noise terms, control signals, temporal dynamics, and large Hilbert spaces.
Model-based control
Design and optimize new control solutions to suppress noise or manipulate your Hilbert space in ways never before possible.
Characterization
Accurately define hardware specifications, Hamiltonian parameters, and environmental noise.
Closed-loop optimization
Implement automated feedback loops for design, calibration, and hardware-performance optimization tasks.

Frequently asked questions
Is a local installation available?
A locally installed version of Boulder Opal can be provided upon request for circumstances mandating ultra-low latency in hardware communications. We recommend the cloud instance for general computations, as cloud services can provide performance far exceeding the specifications of the local machine.
What are the cloud machine hours?
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.
Are there resources to help me learn?
You can access a comprehensive documentation suite to help you on your journey, starting with our Get started guide and Tutorials.
What is calculation concurrency?
The number of calculations that 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.
Are Boulder Opal results validated on hardware or software?
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.
Is the Boulder Opal license limited to a single user?
Boulder Opal licenses can accommodate an unlimited number of users, but may be limited in the number of systems that can be connected.
