Accelerate your path to
fault-tolerant quantum computing

Introducing Plaquette—the ultimate design-automation software crafted for quantum hardware teams. Plaquette empowers you to simulate, analyze, and optimize fault-tolerant quantum computer architectures, overcoming real-world imperfections and paving the path to transformative quantum computing. Accelerate your journey toward scalable, reliable quantum computing with a tool that's as advanced as your ambitions.

Design Smarter, Reach Fault Tolerance Faster

Quantum computing promises to revolutionize industries—from drug discovery to climate modeling—by tackling problems beyond the reach of classical computers. But this transformative power hinges on achieving fault tolerance, the ability to perform billions of quantum operations reliably despite inherent hardware imperfections.

Imperfections in qubits and gates can inflate hardware costs and derail timelines. The key to overcoming these challenges lies in the right design: architectures that intelligently manage errors and maximize logical performance.

Plaquette equips you with the tools to design these optimal architectures. By simulating thousands of qubits under realistic conditions, Plaquette provides actionable insights to help you prioritize developments, reduce costs, and fast-track your path to fault-tolerant quantum computing.
