AI that operates quantum computers for scientific discovery
TL;DR Quantum computing will not scale if every program is a hand-written circuit. The future is describing what you want a quantum computer to do and letting the system handle the rest.
Hi - We are Brandon and Joel from Conductor Quantum.
We’re announcing Coda - our natural language interface for quantum computing.
Quantum computers offer a new computing paradigm for simulating the world at the atomic level. This opens up new possibilities in chemistry, materials science, and drug discovery that push beyond what the largest classical supercomputers can handle.
Problem
Using quantum computers today requires deep domain expertise and low-level tooling.
Solution
Type your problem into a box, Coda builds the quantum circuit, verifies the code and runs it on current state-of-the-art quantum computers.
If you’re completely new to quantum, we’ve included a learn mode to get you started. One of the first quantum computers we’re offering on our platform is Rigetti’s (S14) 84-qubit quantum computer. We also support simulations up to 34 qubits supported by NVIDIA cu-Quantum.
Why?
We’re building Coda because we want everyone to be able to access a quantum computer from their desk, as soon as possible.
What we’ve achieved so far
- Built the first API for low-level silicon quantum chip control.
- Partnered with quantum chip maker SemiQon and ran our software across 64 of their quantum devices.
- Shipped quantum control software for companies including Quobly and EeroQ.
What’s next?
- End-to-end GPU + QPU orchestration, so classical and quantum computation work together in a single workflow.
- Connecting Coda to our lower-level quantum control and tune-up software, closing the loop from high-level intent to device-level execution.
- Pushing our control software to larger numbers of qubits as hardware scales.
