- Partnership to provide an integrated solution enabling quantum
developers to effectively scale both quantum processor quantity and
quality
- Enhanced capability in quantum processor characterization and
optimization to accelerate quantum development
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) and Q-CTRL, a pioneer
of quantum infrastructure software to make quantum technologies
useful, are partnering to integrate key infrastructure quantum
software to accelerate quantum processor development,
characterization, and key proof of principle scientific
demonstrations.
An interesting feature of quantum computation is that as qubits
are added to a quantum processor, the computational space available
to the end user expands exponentially. However, as quantum systems
grow exponentially, they become increasingly more complex to
design, test, and operate. This means quantum hardware developers
face a slow and complex design cycle as current software tools
require users to exhaustively test and calibrate an ever-growing
number of configurations and combinations.
To address these design challenges, Keysight and Q-CTRL are
partnering to provide an integrated solution enabling quantum
developers to effectively scale both quantum processor quantity and
quality. The solution will integrate Q-CTRL’s Boulder Opal hardware
optimization and automation functionality into Keysight’s Quantum
Control System (QCS) providing enhanced capability in quantum
processor characterization and optimization to rapidly decrease
characterization time and improve device up-time.
To accelerate quantum development, the joint solution will:
- Help navigate complexity – Provide advanced AI/ML tools to
navigate complex design and characterization spaces.
- Automate device optimization – Enable closed loop, autonomous
agents to efficiently determine the relationship between
Hamiltonian parameters and QCS hardware settings.
- Accelerate the quantum design cycle – Less time calibrating and
characterizing a quantum processor means faster development cycles
and more use case development time available.
- Customizable experiments – Allow users to program and optimize
experiments specific to their quantum device.
- Enhanced exploration – Enable more avenues of exploration and
innovation for quantum scientists and engineers.
The Keysight QCS combines dedicated quantum control hardware and
full-stack software capabilities to provide an easy-to-use solution
for the control and readout of quantum devices. Q-CTRL Boulder Opal
delivers cloud-accelerated hardware design, AI-based automation,
and quantum control optimization, giving professional teams
everything they need to get ahead of the competition.
Alex Shih, Head of Product, Q-CTRL, said: "We are
delighted to be working with Keysight to bring Q-CTRL’s hardware
characterization and optimization capabilities to their end users
and empowering experimentalists and researchers to build and scale
real quantum systems. We designed our products to be easily
integrated and interoperable across hardware and software
architectures, and we are proud to see this help activate the
quantum ecosystem. To us, making quantum technology useful relies
on not just developing new technologies, but supporting researchers
to easily leverage them in building and scaling their quantum
systems.”
Eric T. Holland, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Quantum
at Keysight, said: "Customer success is at the core of all that
we do at Keysight. We are continually seeking feedback from our
quantum users to drive our roadmap and spur innovation. This
collaboration with Q-CTRL comes from such feedback and we are
thrilled to begin our journey to improve the end-user experience
and capabilities for our customers."
