Unlock the full potential of your IBM Quantum Pay-As-You-Go plan with a single command
End users from research to enterprise are seeking simplified ways to apply quantum computing to their toughest challenges.
The integration of Q-CTRL's error-suppression software with IBM Quantum delivers a simple experience to unlock and maximize the platform's immense potential.
Achieve more, faster
Q-CTRL's error suppression technology delivers you the right answer with high confidence, and reduces the number of shots - and therefore runtime - required to get there. And access is included at no additional cost!
Get the best algorithmic results
Deterministic error-suppression pushes machine performance to intrinsic hardware limits, enabling you to run deeper and wider circuits without any overhead.
Enhance performance with a single setting
With the Q-CTRL performance-management option selected, a fully configured autonomous toolchain is triggered in the background to suppress errors everywhere they arise in the machine. No specialized knowledge of quantum hardware or confusing settings required.

The noise suppression provided through Q-CTRL’s performance management makes exploring useful quantum circuits even easier. I very much look forward to what our users will be able to do with this newly added error-suppression technology.
We have previously explored Q-CTRL's performance management capabilities and were impressed. With this technology natively embedded within IBM Quantum services, we can get more value from current hardware and push our applications further.
This collaboration points to a future where quantum computing becomes more accessible and user-friendly, with complex error suppression handled by integrated software solutions. Where software innovation plays a critical role in harnessing the full potential of quantum hardware, fostering faster advancements in the field.
I've benchmarked Q-CTRL's error suppression compared to default performance, and I observed that Q-CTRL increased the likelihood of obtaining the correct answer by a factor of 35! Best of all, it's available without any additional cost, making high-quality quantum computers more accessible and efficient.

Q-CTRL’s current technology focuses on suppressing errors in near-term “NISQ” machines before quantum error correction is useful. Our published experiments show how in combination, these techniques can make QEC more effective, and future releases will support full QEC encoding.
Q-CTRL evaluates a wide range of algorithmic benchmarks and reports quantitative metrics appropriate for each. Hardware validations show enhanced algorithmic success when a “correct” answer is known ahead of time, improved similarity of hybrid quantum algorithmic cost landscapes to the ideal, and enhancements to measured quantum volume. Q-CTRL’s performance management technology works with any algorithm possessing any structure of outputs, unlike other post processing techniques which work only in very limited circumstances.
Full details are available from our peer-reviewed technical publication. You can try running benchmark algorithms on your own by downloading our demo notebook.
Q-CTRL has developed an array of interoperable techniques which reduce errors from the gate level to the compiler level. This includes a high-performance depth-reducing compiler, error-aware layout selector, crosstalk-eliminating compiler, autonomous quantum gate/machine-language optimizer, and efficient measurement-error mitigation.
Full details are available in our peer-reviewed technical manuscript.
Q-CTRL’s deterministic error suppression works with any techniques executed above the compiler level. Combine easily with PEC, and other post-processing techniques. Discover the relationship between error suppression and error mitigation techniques in our Learning Center.

* Q‒CTRL deterministic error suppression technology reduces experimental shots to achieve a target confidence level by improving signal‒to‒noise levels and eliminates the need for sampling overhead required in error mitigation. Execution cost per QPU runtime second is identical with and without Q‒CTRL performance management selected.
