Our full-stack approach
to quantum computing
Our focus encompasses the seamless integration of hardware and software components — from quantum processors, control and decoding hardware and cryostats to the operating system and user-facing software.
We believe this integrated methodology supports the acceleration of advancements in both the capabilities of quantum systems and the potential applications they can power.
The future of quantum hardware: Willow
Our hardware focuses on superconducting qubits, which require specialized cryogenic environments and custom control electronics. To achieve greater computational power, we're constantly improving our qubit quality and scaling up their numbers while implementing error correction techniques.
We take a full-system approach to building superconducting-based systems. From chip architecture and gate development to fabrication and calibration, error correction informs every step of our process. Our latest quantum chip, Willow, exemplifies this approach. Built in our state-of-the-art facility in Santa Barbara, Willow was designed for performance and flexibility.  We use metrics that evaluate the entire quantum computing system holistically, not just individual components. For example, our tunable qubits and couplers allow us to dynamically adjust performance and optimize for faster gates and operations, improving overall system performance.
Measuring qubits is just one piece of the puzzle. We believe this full-system approach is crucial to building quantum computers capable of tackling meaningful research and the development of long-term applications.
