QUDORA Technologies, a German developer of trapped-ion quantum computers, has announced the integration of QC Design’s Plaquette software into its R&D workflow. Plaquette is a quantum design-automation platform built to help hardware teams engineer scalable fault-tolerant architectures.
The collaboration is designed to accelerate QUDORA’s path toward practical fault tolerance by allowing the company to rigorously simulate, analyze, and optimize Quantum Error Correction (QEC) routines within its unique architecture. QUDORA’s proprietary Near Field Quantum Control (NFQC) technology replaces bulky laser systems with on-chip microwave electronics, manufactured using advanced semiconductor processes to unlock mass manufacturability and high-density control of qubits.
Integrating Plaquette provides critical system-level insight into the performance of this scalable architecture, ensuring that the benefits of semiconductor fabrication are matched with hardware-efficient logical qubits. QC Design built the Plaquette platform to quantify fault-tolerance performance under realistic conditions and model over 20 hardware imperfections, offering an advanced tool for de-risking logical qubit design.
Dr. Amado Bautista-Salvador, CEO of QUDORA, emphasized that quantum error-corrected operations are fundamental to achieving reliable, scalable quantum computation, and adopting Plaquette will accelerate their path toward fault-tolerant performance and meaningful real-world use cases.
