Make Quantum Computing Useful with Performance Enhancing Infrastructure Software
summary
Q-CTRL delivers a software pipeline that runs on IBM hardware and combines compilation, hardware-aware mapping, dynamical decoupling, gate-level pulse optimization and measurement error mitigation into a one-line integration (Fire Opal). Company reports 15 billion jobs executed on IBM and examples show a 7-qubit MaxCut success rate rising from 1% to 19%, and effective circuit depth increasing roughly 10× (from ~20 to ~100 two-qubit layers). The hybrid QAOA module reproduces usable landscapes so classical optimizers converge.
