QUDORA Technologies, a German developer and system integrator of trapped-ion quantum computers, has launched Qamelion, an advanced quantum computing emulator designed to help developers build and validate algorithms against realistic and evolving hardware conditions.

Qamelion addresses the challenge of bridging the gap between abstract quantum code and the imperfections of real hardware. The emulator features a fine-tunable adaptive noise model that accurately mirrors the characteristics of QUDORA’s current and upcoming trapped-ion quantum computers. By adjusting the noise settings, developers can smoothly transition and validate their algorithms for future, next-generation architectures.

The ability to accurately model noise and hardware evolution is critical for developing viable quantum algorithms. Dr. Daniel Borcherding, Head of Quantum Software at QUDORA, stated that this capability provides users with a powerful tool to validate and adapt their algorithms to QUDORA’s hardware, as today’s algorithms must be designed with the imperfections of real hardware in mind.

Qamelion supports hybrid algorithm execution with classical-quantum integration and is compatible with industry standards, including OpenQASM, Qiskit, and the Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR). The emulator is available now via the QUDORA Cloud platform, with plans for availability soon in Japan through Fixstars Amplify’s cloud platform.

The launch of Qamelion leverages QUDORA’s expertise in trapped-ion systems, which utilize proprietary Near Field Quantum Control (NFQC) technology for scalability, and marks the company’s continued expansion into the software layer of the quantum stack.
