A universal software developer tool to program quantum applications

We are pioneering an approach to quantum computing that allows users to write programs in classical languages that can be compiled and run on conventional or quantum computers, without any knowledge in quantum computing.

Whether you are a software developer interested in quantum computing, or an expert who is highly proficient in quantum information theory, you'll be able to gain a quantum speedup without the need to understand the underlying computational model. Our compiler automatically constructs quantum algorithms from classical code, so you can develop quantum algorithms for new domains without deep quantum expertise.

About us

We democratise quantum computing applications for businesses by removing the need for quantum algorithms knowledge for software developers. For that, we are building a compiler that automatically constructs quantum algorithms from classical code.

Our company was founded in 2018 in Singapore by Dr Joe Fitzsimons, DPhil from Oxford, a specialist in quantum computing and computational complexity theory with over 15 years of experience. The leadership team also includes Dr Si-Hui Tan, PhD from MIT, who has been actively involved in quantum research for 15 years.

A seed round led by SGInnovate and seed-plus led by Sequoia Capital India allowed our company to bring its financing to SGD 4.5 million (USD 3.23 million). Other investors include Abies Ventures, DCVC, Qubit Protocol, Summer Capital and Posa CV.

Our team

Our interdisciplinary team of physicists and computer scientists is trained in top-tier science and engineering universities, such as Oxford, MIT, University of Melbourne, University of California, Berkeley, University of Waterloo, Canada, and Brown University.

Our quantum scientists average 8+ years of postdoc working experience. Individually, we have published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and continue contributing to scientific research.

Together with seasoned technical team and business staff, we pursue the same ambition: enable quantum applications for the real world by bridging the gap between software engineering and quantum computing.
