Qruise
Qruise develops software that helps scientists and researchers use Machine Learning tools in their day-to-day
scientific workflows without having to worry about what's under the hood. ML has revolutionised how science is
being done and taking advantage of this new numerical toolset should not require having a full time ML
scientist on the team to design, develop and deploy systems. Qruise is developing ML for Science as a
productised toolset making ML driven discovery accessible to all. Our first offerings address the growing
pains of controlling current generation noisy quantum computers (NISQ devices) and provide improvements in
operational fidelities through the use of ML & Quantum Optimal Control.
QBlox
With a dedicated team of scientists, engineers and developers we are pushing quantum technology to support
scientists worldwide with our scalable qubit control and readout equipment from ultrastable DC to 18.5 GHz for
academic and industrial quantum labs. The Qblox control stack combines unlevelled noise performance,
low-latency arbitrary control flows and can be scaled up to 100s of qubits. Our company is based in the
Netherlands as a spinoff of QuTech, which enables us to implement the latest scientific insights and take a
position upfront in the worldwide race towards quantum advantage. Using the technology developed at QuTech as
a springboard, the Qblox team has fundamentally reimagined the architecture of quantum control to create a
single integrated control stack that provides all the functionality needed to manipulate and measure quantum
computers. The Qblox team is interested in meeting experimental quantum physicists to learn about their
applications and how Qblox could support their scaling needs.

QuantrolOx
QuantrolOx is an Anglo-Finnish company pioneering the development of automated qubit control software that
brings sustained and stable gate performance to qubits. This enables scientists focus on using quantum
computers rather than constantly fixing them. This is achieved by automating the tuning, stabilisation, and
optimisation of qubits, thereby removing a key bottleneck in the scaling of quantum computers.
With QuantrolOx, quantum scientists get a stable platform for sustained experimentation and get more out of
their expensive quantum infrastructure.
QuantrolOx's software is applicable across many types of quantum technologies, however initially the
company is targeting solid-state qubits where the team has already demonstrated substantial practical
benefits.

Presto offers a high density of synchronized ports and removes the need of external IQ mixers or local
oscillators, simplifying the experimental setup and allowing for scalable control of many qubits. By making
use of the latest development in RF system-on-a-chip Presto integrates both high-speed ADCs and DACs not just
in a single box, but in a single chip, providing the lowest possible feedback latency for applications such as
qubit reset, as well as extremely low cross-port jitter. Single and multi-qubit gates, multi-level state
discrimination and randomized benchmarking can all be easily implemented using a Python API where complex wave
forms and filter matches are precisely scheduled in time. Other phenomena such as noise squeezing and noise
correlation can be studied using a multifrequency continuous wave mode.
