QuantrolOx and CDAC Announce Loi to Explore Co-Development of Quantum Computing Technologies

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), India’s premier R&D organization of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with the Quantrolox (QuantrolOx Finland Oy, Keilaranta 10, 02150 Espoo, Finland), is the world-leading provider of software for automated tuning and characterization of quantum processors. Through this LoI C-DAC and Quantrolox will explore the co-development of quantum computing technologies to support government laboratories and academics pursuing quantum computing R&D.

“QuantrolOx has created a paradigm shift in the rate of development of QPUs. Our software Quantum EDGE has enabled the quantum industry to move from a handful of iterative cycles per year to 100s of iterative cycles per year with unparalleled speed, scale, quality and flexibility. This is shrinking R&D times to levels that were thought impossible and accelerating the path of useful quantum computers. I am very excited and grateful for the opportunity to partner with C-DAC to advance India’s technological leadership in developing indigenous cryogenic electronics and superconducting quantum hardware & software”
— Vishal Chatrath, Chief Executive Officer of QuantrolOx

“C-DAC continues to play a pivotal role in shaping India’s advanced computing landscape, both as a leader in high-performance computing and as the nodal agency for the Government of India’s ChipIN initiative, which is focused on strengthening domestic semiconductor design capabilities. Our partnership with QuantrolOx, is a strategic step toward developing indigenous cryogenic electronics, superconducting quantum hardware & software, and securing access to advanced processor fabrication.  This partnership is poised to drive impactful advancements in electronics and IT, reinforcing India’s position in next-generation technologies”
— Shri. E. Magesh, Director General, CDAC

“Our partnership with Quantrolox—a leading provider of software for automated tuning and characterization of quantum processors—represents a strategic move toward building a robust quantum computing ecosystem in the country. The effort will center on co-developing an indigenous quantum software stack and pushing the boundaries of tuning and characterization tools for various quantum computing platforms. Our partnership with QuantrolOx marks a crucial step in advancing India’s technological leadership in quantum computing and the supporting software ecosystem”
— Dr. S D Sudarsan, Executive Director, C-DAC Bangalore

About CDAC

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), is an autonomous Scientific Society of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, has set up the ChipIN Centre at C-DAC Bangalore as a national hub for the country’s semiconductor design community. Conceived as a world-class, one-stop facility, ChipIN provides fabless chip designers from Startups, MSMEs, and Academia with access to EDA tools, fabrication services, and virtual prototyping hardware labs.  As a centralized, cloud-supported infrastructure, ChipIN hosts advanced tools spanning the entire chip design cycle and delivers integrated services for fabrication and packaging.  With India’s semiconductor industry on the verge of exponential growth, ChipIN plays a pivotal role in nurturing innovation, strengthening indigenous design capacity, and advancing the vision of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) to build a self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem.

CDAC is actively engaged in several nationally significant projects in the field of quantum technologies. These initiatives include the development of quantum accelerators, the establishment of a national quantum computing reference facility, and advancements in quantum communication along with related middleware and software stack development. As part of its Hybrid HPC-Quantum Mission, CDAC also focuses on the indigenous development of quantum processing units, cryogenic electronics, and control hardware.

About QuantrolOx

QuantrolOx is the provider of Quantum EDGE software that has set a new industry benchmark achieving fully automated quantum processing unit (QPU) characterization and tune-up, creating a 2-qubit gate in under 25 minutes. This task, previously requiring several PhD-level experts up to a week. By enabling up to hundreds of iterative development cycles per year compared to a handful now, this breakthrough enables QPU developers to accelerate the development of high-quality qubits essential for fault-tolerant quantum computers.

QuantrolOx is the only quantum software company thoroughly testing its software on a uniquely configured quantum computer 24/7, ensuring seamless “out-of-the-box” compatibility with 70% of the world’s solid-state quantum computers. Quantum EDGE integrates easily with workflows in academia, research organizations, and industry, supporting open-architecture principles for compatibility with major quantum hardware providers.
