- Build robust tooling for monitoring, benchmarking, and experimentation
Our take
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize industries from chemical engineering to financial services. However, the technology is not yet useable due to a number of factors such as scalability, sensitivity and expense.
In a move to help power the quantum future, Q-CTRL develops the software infrastructure needed to power real-world quantum computers. The company's technology helps to transform bare-metal quantum processors into useful computational tools, expanding their utility with improved accuracy and cost-savings.
It's an exciting prospect, and one that has seen the company achieve commercial success as well as raise substantial funding. This will mainly be invested in R&D and product engineering as the company delivers to a growing customer base that includes Fortune 500 clients and government departments.
