Amidst the global race to establish and deploy useful and powerful quantum computers, researchers at a newly incorporated, À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ-based non-profit are taking a different approach. The team atÌýÌý(OQD) believes the key to accelerating advancements in quantum computing - including developing top talent - is to democratize access and open up its intellectual property for anyone willing to collaborate; and its four partners agree. Quantum heavy-hitters Xanadu, the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, the Unitary Foundation, and Haiqu are the first to join OQD’s innovative platform to spearhead a new, unprecedented degree of open access to full-stack quantum computing technology.

Founded by world-renowned researchers out of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, Roger Melko, Crystal Senko, and Rajibul Islam, alongside entrepreneur Greg Dick,Ìý, is working to accelerate quantum research by democratizing quantum computing - breaking down the traditional barriers between academia and industry. Their team is working to accomplish this by opening up both the hardware and software intellectual property for its trapped-ion quantum computer—the first of its kind—to collaborators looking to participate in a global quantum sandbox.
