Problem
Access to quantum computing hardware is limited by proprietary, closed systems that require large capital investment and specialized expertise, making it difficult for organizations to experiment, develop talent, and validate quantum applications in real-world settings.
Solution
Open Quantum Design (OQD) offers a collaborative, community‑driven approach to building full‑stack, open‑source quantum computers. By uniting industry and academic leaders across hardware design, control infrastructure, software, and APIs, OQD creates customizable quantum systems that can be commissioned for specific organizational needs. These systems enable faster training cycles, iterative prototyping of use cases, and hands‑on workforce development, while the open‑source model promotes transparency, reproducibility, and long‑term innovation in quantum technologies.
Target Audience
Primary customers are research institutions, corporate R&D labs, and educational programs that need accessible quantum hardware for experimentation, curriculum development, and prototype validation.
