Real-world use cases
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.
14%
increase in logical qubit lifetime
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.

Enabling data loading for quantum machine learning with Fire Opal
BlueQubit demonstrated groundbreaking loading of complex distribution information onto 20 qubits for a QML application by using our error suppression product.
8X
Better performance in terms of Total Variational Distance (TVD), which measures the deviation from perfect data loading.
As we develop novel techniques to solve some of the quantum industry’s hardest challenges, Fire Opal is an essential tool to reduce the impact of hardware noise and demonstrate successful results with deeper and wider circuits.
Northwestern looks to the heart of the universe with robust quantum sensors
With Boulder Opal, Northwestern suppressed 5 different noise sources simultaneously with a single optimized robust control pulse for atom interferometry.
5
different noise sources can be suppressed simultaneously with a single optimized robust control pulse for atom interferometry.
The breadth and flexibility of Boulder Opal allowed us to create our own optimization scenario and obtain pulses robust to the five most relevant experimental noise sources at the same time! This will be crucial in the development of atomic interferometers to detect dark matter and gravitational waves at currently unexplored frequencies.
Chalmers achieves 8X faster quantum logic using Boulder Opal
With Boulder Opal, Chalmers was able to design totally new numerically optimized gates that enable massive speedups without introducing new gate errors.
>180X
Reduction in gate duration.
It was really easy to go from code to experiments. I started from the relevant notebook in the documentation, followed the steps, adapted when necessary, and it simply worked! We’re now using Q-CTRL pulses that allow us to cut the time of our gates by eight times.
