Q-CTRL is a category defining business leading the development of AI-powered quantum infrastructure software, delivering globally unique technology to accelerate the pathway to the world's first useful quantum computers.

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.
