Neutral-atom qubits that stay calibrated between every run
Q-Factor builds optical tweezer arrays where an AI calibration layer detects qubit drift and corrects it automatically, so your team spends time on experiments, not recalibration.
Physicists lose weeks per year to qubit drift
Manual recalibration is slow, unpredictable, and expertise-dependent. The hardware should handle it.
Trap frequency drift and laser parameter shift degrade gate fidelity continuously. A session that should take two hours requires three more for recalibration before it can even begin.
Recalibration today requires a physicist who understands the full system. It cannot be delegated, scheduled, or automated. Every startup of a complex sequence is a manual diagnostic session.
Without continuous monitoring, fidelity at the start of an experiment differs from fidelity an hour in. Results are inconsistent, hard to compare, and difficult to reproduce.
Each additional qubit is an additional drift source. A 100-atom array has 100 independently drifting traps. Manual calibration at scale is not just slower, it becomes practically intractable.
100+ individually addressable neutral atoms
Strontium-88 atoms held in optical tweezers. Deterministic loading. High-fidelity Rydberg two-qubit gates. Built for research groups who need reliable results.
A 2D grid of focused laser traps holds individual strontium-88 atoms in a programmable geometry. Spacing and layout can be reconfigured between runs to match circuit connectivity requirements.
Entangling gates are implemented via the Rydberg blockade mechanism, where excitation of one atom to a high-lying state suppresses simultaneous excitation of nearby atoms. Gate fidelity exceeds 99% in internal benchmarks.
Long T2 coherence times, a clean level structure, and a UV-accessible clock transition make strontium-88 a compelling qubit platform. The narrow-linewidth clock transition enables high-fidelity single-qubit operations.
Continuous drift detection and real-time correction
The AI calibration layer monitors trap frequencies, qubit transition frequencies, and gate parameters continuously. It detects drift signatures before they degrade fidelity, adjusting beam parameters in real time.
Continuous measurement of individual trap frequencies across the array. Frequency drift is detected in milliseconds, before it affects gate performance.
When drift is detected, the ML layer automatically adjusts laser power, frequency, and pointing to restore target parameters. No human intervention required.
Gate fidelity is monitored throughout an experimental session. The system maintains fidelity within specification across hours of continuous operation.
Measured results from early-access configurations
Running experiments that used to require a half-day setup now start in under twenty minutes. The AI layer corrects overnight drift automatically, so we arrive in the morning to a calibrated system rather than a calibration session.
