Quantum Technologist

About Us Founded in 2017, Q-CTRL has grown to become a global leader in quantum control infrastructure software. As a product-led company, we bring together diverse teams such as product, design, engineering, and research 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.
We have experienced significant growth, with a record-breaking expansion of our Series B funding round to USD $113M, including $59M USD of new capital. Our partnership with IBM Quantum Services is a key milestone, natively integrating our performance management software with all IBM quantum computers. Building on this relationship, we started offering two services via IBM's Qiskit Functions Catalog as an inaugural partner. Additionally, we designed and moved our Global HQ offices and lab space into the first purpose-built (and award-winning) commercial and research facility for a quantum technology company in Australia.

We have expanded our global presence to Los Angeles and Berlin, and we recently opened up a new office in Oxford. This demonstrates our commitment to delivering real-world outcomes across the quantum sectors, such as our work with Australian Defence on software-ruggedized quantum sensing for navigation without GPS, which was 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.
