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.

We were genuinely impressed by the performance of Q-CTRL's Fire Opal. It provided solutions for fully-connected, 100-qubit problems that rival the best classical solvers, which is a feat we hadn't imagined possible with current gate-based devices. This scale opens the door to real-world applications, like optimizing energy grids.
