We make quantum technology useful MoreLess

Q-CTRL is a global pioneer with unmatched commercial traction in the emerging quantum technology industry - a sector poised to transform everything from finance and pharma through to logistics and defense.

Q-CTRL is a category defining business leading the development of quantum infrastructure software, delivering globally unique technology to accelerate the pathway to the world's first useful quantum computers. This same foundational technology also underpins Q-CTRL’s development of novel “software-defined” quantum sensors for defense and intelligence.

In May 2023, IBM Quantum announced that Q-CTRL's quantum infrastructure software would be natively embedded in its quantum computing fleet, and the team recently announced a partnership with Transport for NSW - delivering its enterprise infrastructure software to transport data scientists exploring quantum computing. In parallel, in July 2023 the Australian Department of Defence announced Q-CTRL's leading role delivering quantum-assured navigation to AUKUS allies.

Q-CTRL is a World Economic Forum Global Innovator, and is a member of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium, US Geospatial Intelligence Foundation, and a co-chair of the Australian Quantum Alliance within the Tech Council of Australia.
