Quantum control infrastructure software actively suppressing errors and improving qubit performance; Sydney-based; AI-driven firmware sits between quantum hardware and application software; Black Opal education platform and Boulder Opal for hardware team optimization.
Q-CTRL is a Sydney-based quantum technology company that provides quantum control infrastructure software — firmware and middleware that sits between quantum hardware and application software to actively suppress errors and improve qubit performance. Quantum computers are extremely sensitive to environmental noise that introduces errors in calculations; Q-CTRL's AI-driven control systems continuously monitor and compensate for these errors, dramatically improving the reliability and accuracy of quantum processors without changing the underlying hardware. The company's Black Opal platform provides quantum computing education and training, while Boulder Opal targets research and hardware teams improving their quantum processors. Q-CTRL also develops quantum sensing technology using similar control techniques for navigation, gravimetry, and defense applications. Founded in 2017 by physicist Michael Biercuk, Q-CTRL raised over $77M from investors including Sierra Ventures, Square Peg Capital, and DCVC. The company has established partnerships with quantum hardware providers including IBM, Honeywell (Quantinuum), and IonQ, whose systems benefit from Q-CTRL's error suppression.
Decentralized Web3 infrastructure with RPC node access across 30+ blockchains; globally distributed nodes reduce latency; premium dedicated nodes for apps needing guaranteed throughput.
Ankr is a Web3 infrastructure platform offering remote procedure call node access to more than 30 blockchain networks through a globally distributed network of nodes run by independent operators. Unlike centralized providers that operate their own data centers exclusively, Ankr's decentralized architecture routes requests across geographically distributed nodes, improving latency for users in regions underserved by US- or EU-centric infrastructure. Its public free-tier RPC endpoints — available for Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and dozens of others — have made Ankr one of the most widely used infrastructure providers in the multi-chain developer ecosystem.
