Real-world use cases
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.
Students who engaged with Black Opal as an active companion resource significantly boosted knowledge retention and ultimately understanding. Some of them even engaged further with quantum computing by choosing a final-year project in that field.
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.
Making sense of quantum noise with machine learning
Q-CTRL's quantum control engineers developed a new machine-learning tool allowing high-fidelity reconstruction of the spectral “fingerprint” of quantum noise.

Collaboration between experimentalists at University of Sydney and quantum control engineers at Q-CTRL breakthrough result published in Physical Review Letters
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.
