About Open Quantum Design
Open Quantum Design
Why
Open Quantum DesignTM (OQD) is democratizing quantum computing with the development of the world’s first open source, full stack quantum computer. Open source is more accessible and creates an environment ripe for innovation. By sharing resources, knowledge, and designs, a global community of participants from various backgrounds can contribute to and accelerate the development of quantum technologies.
What
This highly collaborative strategy will not only accelerate innovation by pooling global expertise but also offers significantly reduced barriers to entry, from high equipment costs to the need for an array of specialized knowledge. As a result, a broader spectrum of organizations and individuals can engage with and push the boundaries of quantum computing. Access to a diversity of ideas creates a fertile ground for breakthroughs and technological advancements.
How
OQD is a membership-based, Canadian non-profit designed to rapidly scale quantum computing by creating a safe sandbox for collaboration across industry and academia.
Who
Professors Rajibul Islam, Crystal Senko, and Roger Melko and their research teams are creating a full stack, Ytterbium 171 trapped ion quantum computer. They, along with their teams, have moved the full suite of intellectual property containing the vacuum chamber, opto-mechanical, and electronics CAD designs, the control software, and the logical circuit layers and simulators into OQD. Working together with OQD members, this world’s first open source full-stack computer will become a development platform for innovation. The current and future IP will be made generally available through the Apache 2.0 License.
