About us Founded in 2017, Q-CTRL has grown to become the global leader in quantum control infrastructure software. As a product-led company, we bring together diverse teams like product, design, engineering and research (to name a few!) to help achieve our mission of making quantum technology useful. We believe that working in deep tech domains like quantum provides an opportunity to upskill whilst applying existing knowledge and practices to new markets.
As one of the fastest growing companies in the quantum sector, we've been busy! In October 2024, we announced our record breaking expansion of our Series B funding round to USD $113M, with $59M USD of new capital! Adding to our new global HQ in Sydney (Australia's first fully dedicated commercial quantum tech site!), our US team took a similar path, moving into their own, Q-CTRL dedicated workspace, our Berlin team continues to grow and expand markets across the EU and we announced our expansion into the UK, recently opening up new offices in the Oxfordshire region off the back of our newly formed UK team. In November 2023, we announced an industry-first partnership with IBM Quantum Services, natively integrating our performance management software with all IBM quantum computers. Building off of this relationship, in September 2024 we started offering two services via IBM's new Qiskit Functions Catalog as an inaugural partner. We continue to deliver real world outcomes across the quantum sectors, with our work with Australian Defence on software-ruggedized quantum sensing for navigation without GPS, as featured in the New York Times. From educating the workforce on how quantum computing works, and building the next generation of quantum sensors, to delivering massive performance gains for end-users, it all starts with hiring the right talent.
