- Ability to bridge hardware-generated data and cloud-native applications, such as designing data platforms or pipelines that integrate on-prem sources with simulation, analytics, or machine learning workflows
- Understanding of how to ingest, structure, and monitor telemetry, logs, and diagnostics from distributed systems across cloud and on-prem environments
Quantum Circuits is focused on creating a complete quantum computing platform that utilizes superconducting devices. Their quantum computers are designed with a modular architecture that allows for scalability and robustness. The technology behind their products is based on over ten years of research conducted at Yale University. These quantum computers feature built-in error correction, which helps to maintain accuracy in calculations, and they include specialized software that allows for rapid execution of algorithms. Additionally, they can operate in multiple modes, enabling them to tackle a wider range of algorithms than traditional quantum computers. The goal of Quantum Circuits is to develop quantum computers that are genuinely useful for practical applications.
