Quantum infrastructure software provider Q-CTRL has secured US$290 million (A$415 million) in an oversubscribed Series C funding round led by Salesforce Ventures.
Q-CTRL plans to allocate the new capital toward expanding its AI-driven control software stack and scaling global commercial deployments across finance, energy, defense, and aerospace.
Its infrastructure software operates across two primary product lines: Fire Opal and Boulder Opal for suppressing noise and automating calibration in gate-model quantum computers, and Ironstone Opal for GPS-denied quantum magnetic navigation.
Backed by new regional institutional partners, Q-CTRL also plans to accelerate its commercial expansion across Japan’s industrial and high-performance computing sectors.
