Equal1, a leader in silicon-based quantum computing, and Q-CTRL, the global leader in quantum infrastructure software, today announced a first-of-its-kind strategic partnership to integrate Q-CTRL's infrastructure software for autonomous calibration into Equal1's Silicon quantum computers, powering the mass deployment of rack-mount quantum computers into enterprise data centers.

Jason Lynch, CEO of Equal1:
"Equal1 has already proven that quantum hardware can be compact, rack-mounted, and data-center ready. Our partnership with Q-CTRL further accelerates our mission by providing a fully autonomous software stack. With Boulder Opal Scale Up integrated into our Bell-series systems, our customers gain a self-optimizing quantum accelerator that fits seamlessly into existing IT infrastructure."

End-users adopting Equal1's highly scalable, CMOS-compatible silicon spin qubit architecture can now experience:

• Autonomous operation: Full automation of the tuneup and calibration of all hardware devices and quantum logic operations, without the need for expert attention.
• Run-time performance management: Real-time monitoring and maintenance, correcting the system to maintain peak performance during long workloads.
• Secure local deployments: Embedded, local deployment allowing the full intelligent autonomy package to run without internet access.
• Pathway to algorithmic enhancement: Native compatibility with Q-CTRL's error-reducing software, Fire Opal.

Aravind Ratnam, Chief Strategy Officer at Q-CTRL:
"To scale quantum computing, we must transition from manual hardware operation by expert teams of PhDs to autonomous functionality when fully deployed in data centers and HPC facilities. Our partnership with Equal1 achieves this by integrating Q-CTRL's AI-driven autonomous calibration directly into their silicon spin qubit quantum systems."
