The partnership is aiming to deliver a quantum computer that can calibrate and run itself without the need for manual oversight.

Dublin-based quantum computing start-up Equal1 is to partner with Californian quantum infrastructure software maker Q-Ctrl for the deployment of rack-mounted quantum computers in enterprise data centres.

The companies said that together, their technologies will deliver “truly autonomous operation” for “peak performance without manual oversight” to address evolving challenges around performance and maintenance of enterprise quantum computing systems.

By combining Q-Ctrl’s infrastructure software, ‘Boulder Opal Scale Up’, with Equal1’s scalable hardware, a quantum computer will be able to calibrate and run itself without the need for manual oversight and implementation by expert teams, the companies said.
