About Us
Q-CTRL has become a global leader in quantum technology. We use control to solve the hardest problems facing quantum technology, improving hardware performance and accelerating pathways to useful quantum computers.
Our mission is to make quantum technology useful. To achieve this, we bring together diverse teams such as product, design, engineering, and research.
We've had several key milestones:
Innovative partnership with IBM Quantum Services, integrating our software with all IBM quantum computers.
Introduction of two services via IBM's Qiskit Functions Catalog as an inaugural partner.
Design and move of our Global HQ offices and lab space into the first purpose-built commercial and research facility for a quantum technology company in Australia.
Delivered real-world outcomes across the quantum sectors, including work with Australian Defence on software-ruggedized quantum sensing for navigation without GPS.
Announced record-breaking expansion of our Series B funding round to $113M, with $59M of new capital.
Established global presence in Los Angeles, Berlin, Oxford, and San Francisco.
From educating the workforce on quantum computing to building the next generation of quantum sensors, it starts with hiring the right talent. If you want to help build the quantum future, read on.
