AI-Powered Automation Software for Faster Quantum Computer Setup and Maintenance

digitalPilotedTRL 6

Imagine trying to tune a giant orchestra where every single instrument is slightly broken and behaves differently. Right now, experts have to tune each one by hand, which takes forever. This software acts like an autopilot that learns how each part works and tunes the whole system automatically with one click.

The business problem

What needed solving

Quantum computers spend more time being manually tuned by experts than actually performing calculations. This manual process takes weeks or months for just a few dozen qubits, creating a massive bottleneck for scaling.

The solution

What was built

Quantum EDGE, an automation software suite including a user interface for QPU monitoring, data visualization, and automated tuning workflows for three superconducting qubit architectures.

Who can put this to work

Quantum Computing Hardware
enterprise
Target: QPU Manufacturer

If you are a QPU manufacturer dealing with the fact that bringing up 10s of qubits takes several weeks to a few months — this project developed Quantum EDGE software that automates characterization and tuning. This reduces manual labor by quantum experts and accelerates the path to practical computers.

Superconducting Electronics
SME
Target: Quantum Component Developer

If you are a component developer dealing with fabrication variations that make every qubit behave differently — this project developed core algorithms for flux tunable and fixed frequency transmons. This ensures devices are brought up and tested consistently without manual intervention.

High-Performance Computing
enterprise
Target: Quantum Cloud Service Provider

If you are a cloud provider dealing with quantum computers that go out of tune rapidly and spend more time being tuned than used — this project developed a quantum autopilot. This increases uptime by continuously monitoring and adjusting thousands of parameters.
