QuantWare and QuantrolOx have announced a joint solution that enables researchers to rapidly develop quantum error correction capabilities using QuantWare’s Contralto-A quantum processor and QuantrolOx’s Quantum EDGE automated tune-up platform. Contralto-A supports up to 17 transmon qubits with tunable couplers, nearly doubling the size of comparable commercial systems and enabling distance-3 surface code implementations. The system is built for scalability through QuantWare’s VIO technology, and includes optional expert training for researchers building fault-tolerant systems.
The integration with Quantum EDGE automates the QPU calibration and tune-up process, traditionally requiring weeks of expert effort. Using QuantWare’s hardware, QuantrolOx demonstrated fully automated QPU characterization and CZ gate creation in under 25 minutes, setting a new benchmark for system bring-up. Quantum EDGE enables rapid iterative cycles, allowing developers to accelerate quantum algorithm and control system research essential for scalable quantum error correction.
The development kit is offered as a plug-and-play solution, available on-premises or via cloud deployment, and requires no complex setup. This offering lowers the barrier to entry for organizations looking to begin work on error-corrected quantum systems. The partnership aims to democratize access to quantum error correction development and lay the foundation for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing.
