Advancing Quantum Computing

Gold colored machine

We are advancing hardware, algorithms, software, and control systems to make practical quantum computing a reality.

Quantum computers have the potential to transform science, accelerating breakthroughs in drug development, cosmology, materials science, nuclear physics, and more. Researchers at Berkeley Lab are partnering with industry, academia, and the national labs to drive advances across the quantum computing “stack” — the hardware, software, and controls designed to ensure error-corrected quantum calculations.  Advanced Quantum Testbed operations lead Chris Spitzer explains why an integrated approach to developing the quantum stack is essential to quantum computing.

Berkeley Lab offers technologies for licensing in quantum computing hardware, software, and control systems and quantum materials innovations.
