Quantum Brilliance launches new software range

Australian-German company Quantum Brilliance announced the launch of its new Qristal software range, allowing users to “develop and test novel quantum algorithms specifically designed for quantum accelerators rather than quantum mainframes.”

Quantum Brilliance is developing diamond-based quantum accelerators, which operate at room temperature and are fabricated in Melbourne. These company likens these to graphic processing units used in classical computers, as distinct from “mainframe”-style quantum computers requiring “cryogenics, vacuum systems and precision laser arrays.”

According to a statement on Friday, the new Qristal Emulator – part of the Qristal range – enables users to determine the number of qubits required to outperform classical computers in hybrid classical/quantum applications.

“Qristal provides a powerful tool for developers and researchers in any field to explore the quantum utility or ‘usefulness’ of our quantum accelerators,” said Mark Luo, the company’s CEO and co-founder. 

“Our software suite can help people discover for themselves that quantum computers don’t need to outperform supercomputers to provide value, moving the technology out of the lab and into practical solutions sooner.”

Quantum Brilliance said the Qristal SDK and Qristal Emulator are in open beta and will be made widely available in Q2 2023. 

The company’s co-founder Dr Andrew Horsley was a guest on the @AuManufacturing Conversations podcast last month, following the company’s $26 million funding round. The episode can be accessed here.
