Real-world use cases

University of Hull, UK

Improving quantum education outcomes with Black Opal at the University of Hull, UK

Enhancing student engagement and real-world understanding in quantum computing through intuitive and interactive learning with Black Opal.

85%

of students reported that Black Opal improved their overall learning outcomes when used alongside their university syllabus, and would recommend its use in future courses.

Nord Quantique is accelerating the path to useful quantum error correction with Boulder Opal

Nord Quantique used Boulder Opal to design a hardware-efficient QEC protocol for a superconducting system where quantum information is encoded in GKP states.

Given the complexity of the physics at play, being able to perform closed-loop optimization of a few physically motivated parameters of the quantum error correction protocol with Boulder Opal is very valuable to us.

Improving Army logistics with quantum computing

With Fire Opal, the Australian Army tested and validated a quantum computing solution on real hardware that promises to outperform their existing methods.

12X

improvement in the likelihood of finding an optimal solution with Fire Opal over the default hardware execution

Read the case study

Optimally routing 120 convoys can take more than a month of classical computation. The Australian Army is evaluating the potential of quantum computing to provide improvements; however, it’s been difficult to validate the feasibility of a quantum solution due to hardware noise. With Fire Opal, an algorithmic enhancement software, we are able to achieve results on quantum computers that build confidence in our quantum roadmap.
