Objective
The ascent of quantum computing (QC) has been hindered by a pressing crisis:ensuring fault tolerance in the face of inevitable errors due to hardware imperfections. Small to midsized QC enterprises are particularly vulnerable, lacking resources to field large error-correction teams and develop the required sophisticated design tools, thus lagging large competitors. QCDesign is set to revolutionize the QC landscape. We aim to level the playing field through our unique Fault-Tolerant Architectures (FTAs) and design software. Our innovative approach offers licensable FTAs tailored for diverse QC platforms, from photonics to superconducting qubits. Our dual-licensing model—Blueprints for swift fault-tolerance attainment & Boosts for maximizing hardware performance—empowers QC manufacturers, especially SMEs, with a competitive edge. By backing QCDesign, the EIC would be investing not just in one company, but in Europe's QC ecosystem, ensuring we remain at the forefront of QC innovation.
