Mission
Solving QC pain points for real application users
The current quantum landscape is scattered throughout a plethora of different technologies, whose manufacturers push for a vertical adoption in a lock-in fashion. Moreover, QC devices are still in the early stage of development, seen as a monolithic entity. The present complexity thus prevents the integration with classical workloads. This scenario forces users to gain in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of a specific device and limits portability.
Closing integration gaps across hybrid stacks
By creating an unified view of abstracting classical and quantum technologies, and by leveraging knowledge of their state and usage, we aim at solving the issue of static and inefficient scheduling of hybrid jobs. The improved observability flow from the hardware up will enable a dramatic boost in scheduling, contributing to an increased energy awareness and efficiency for every workload.
Balancing cost savings and solution quality
Our tunable platform lets the user define their own tradeoff between costs (e.g., compute time, energy, security) and quality of the final solution. A highly optimised and precise solution will take longer to compute, while a suboptimal one may still produce sound results in a much shorter time and with less energy consumption. By factoring quantum systems in classical workflows we are enabling multiple entry points for cost reduction.
