Q-CTRL’s software integrated into IonQ’s processors

Quantum optimisation is a compelling candidate for near-term quantum acceleration across problems in logistics, finance, energy and more.

Extracting high-quality solutions from real hardware is highly challenging; many parameters and techniques must be manually tuned or adjusted by the user, mandating a depth and breadth of specialised skills few end users possess.

Q-CTRL and IonQ are reducing the barriers to achieving true commercial value from the most advanced quantum processors, natively integrating Fire Opal’s Optimization Solver directly into IonQ Quantum Cloud as a single, fully configured function. 

Now any end user can focus on their optimisation problem, allowing Fire Opal to automatically handle all aspects of execution on real hardware to achieve the most valuable results.

IonQ Quantum Cloud users can access Fire Opal’s Optimization Solver directly on IonQ’s Forte and Forte-Enterprise devices, the company’s highest-performing, commercially available quantum computers.

The value of the Fire Opal Optimization Solver coupled to IonQ Forte is captured in a telecommunications industry case study, delivering the correct solution to reduce network interference out of 68 billion possibilities.

In addition to this native optimisation solver on the IonQ Quantum Cloud, Fire Opal’s performance-management capabilities for integrating error suppression into an arbitrary quantum circuit remain available for IonQ hardware via Amazon Braket. These expanded access points now enable users to achieve meaningful industrial outcomes and reliable results without specialised expertise in quantum hardware.

Q-CTRL creates modular, enterprise-grade infrastructure software, integrated across a range of quantum computing architectures, from trapped ions and semiconductor spins to superconducting qubits. 

Algorithm performance can be boosted by up to 1,000-times, making Fire Opal an extraordinarily powerful and versatile tool for enterprise end users seeking reliable performance enhancement across their varied applications.
