ZuriQ’s partnership with QC Design is centred on integrating Plaquette into ZuriQ’s development process for trapped-ion quantum computing. By using Plaquette to simulate realistic hardware imperfections, ZuriQ gains vital insights into optimizing its 3D reconfigurable Penning-trap architecture for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

QC Design has integrated GPU acceleration into Plaquette using NVIDIA's cuQuantum SDK. This integration enables full-state simulations of fault-tolerant quantum circuits of over 400 qubits on a single GPU, significantly outperforming traditional CPU-based simulators.

Quantum Source’s partnership with QC Design is centred on integrating Plaquette into Quantum Source’s development process for photonic quantum computing. By using Plaquette to simulate realistic hardware imperfections, Quantum Source gains vital insights into optimizing its deterministic atom-photon architecture for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

QC Design, a leader in quantum design automation software, has been selected for the prestigious Accelerator program by the European Innovation Council (EIC) to support the development of its design-automation software and architectures for quantum computing.

QC Design CEO Ish Dhand wins Newcomer of the Year at the German Startup Awards 2024. Celebrating the German startup ecosystem in Berlin, the event highlighted QC Design’s advances in design-automation software and architectures for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
