Fire Opal is the easiest way to make quantum computers useful

Today’s quantum computers are growing rapidly,
but errors hinder the ability to get useful results.

Fire Opal is an out-of-the-box cloud solution that allows you to solve your toughest quantum problems with over 100 qubits using Q‑CTRL’s proprietary automated error suppression technology.

Now anyone can boost the quality of their use cases run on real hardware while achieving massive cost savings. A single pipeline for abstracting hardware, automatically reducing error, and boosting algorithmic success on quantum computers will transform the value of your quantum applications.

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.

We wanted to challenge Fire Opal’s capabilities by running a quite complex, unoptimized circuit. The results were extremely promising. The only comparable results we’ve seen have come from hardware that is currently too expensive to run extensive tests on.

We find it particularly appealing that the product is both circuit agnostic and quick, which will allow for fast prototyping. This is valuable in the short term to enable us to push further with end-to-end, proof-of-concept explorations on current hardware.
