Quantum computing

Everything you need to automate and optimize quantum hardware performance at scale.

Unlock real-world quantum computing

Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems that are practically impossible on even today’s supercomputers. But before this cutting-edge technology can achieve the first commercial demonstration of quantum advantage, quantum computers will need to become much more capable.

We tackle the biggest challenges that the quantum computing industry faces and improve performance by over 1,000X. We do this by unlocking enhanced performance at scale and helping customers bring solutions to market more efficiently — ensuring quantum computing delivers real value to end users.

Q-CTRL works with the quantum industry's leaders to deliver true advantage

Quantum infrastructure software transforms bare-metal quantum processors into useful computational tools. Q-CTRL is partnered with global leaders like IBM, NVIDIA, AWS, and IonQ to deliver the critical software required to make quantum useful and broadly accessible.

By leveraging NVIDIA NVQLink to enable ultra-low latency communication between GPUs and QPUs, we are defining the blueprint for HPC-native integration, ensuring quantum resources are as performant, scalable, and deployable as any modern data center accelerator.

Combine products to build a full-stack solution for virtualized performance

Q-CTRL offers a complete, integrated software suite to transform uncalibrated quantum hardware into a high-performance fully abstracted processor. Now, with a few simple commands, anyone can confidently and autonomously tune and calibrate hardware, and immediately run meaningful algorithms on virtualized quantum processors.

SOLUTIONS FOR QUANTUM HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT

Build superior quantum computers

Errors are the Achilles Heel of quantum computers. Dealing with them is our mission. Making quantum computing useful starts at the bottom of the stack at the hardware-software interface to minimize errors of quantum devices, while improving the fidelity of quantum operations.

We have pioneered the development of control design and automation software to stabilize quantum hardware and build autonomy, so hardware developers can move faster and build superior quantum devices.

Boulder Opal provides everything you need to improve and automate hardware performance for quantum computing. From R&D through device testing, our tools empower your hardware teams with the right capabilities to solve their biggest challenges and accelerate product innovations.

This means greater computational capabilities, delivered sooner.

Solutions for algorithm developers

See the light in the dark with automated performance optimization

Suppressing errors requires a deep understanding of the physical and engineering details of quantum hardware. It has been a specialist’s game, limited to a handful of research teams who could make quantum processors achieve things few others could.

Algorithm developers and researchers have been stuck with inferior performance, slowing them down. Most quantum computer programmers just want the hardware to perform better - that’s exactly what we deliver.
