Q-CTRL

IBM Think 2026 | Keynote: The future of computing is now

On the keynote stage at IBM Think 2026, Q-CTRL announced Practical Quantum Advantage, powered by our infrastructure software on IBM Quantum hardware. Tune in to hear from Michael Biercuk, our CEO and Founder, to see how we are ushering in an era of positive ROI from quantum computing augmented by infrastructure software. We will demonstrate how we achieved a 3,000x speedup in materials discovery, reducing the execution time for a commercially relevant fermionic simulation from over 100 hours to just two minutes.

The infrastructure-software configuration used to enable these demonstrations will soon be available for Fire Opal users, empowering you to directly confirm and build off of these results as you adopt quantum computing in your materials and chemistry R&D. Join the waitlist to be among the first to access the upcoming Simulation Solver. https://form.typeform.com/to/kS19dNyp
