Q-CTRL, a world-leading developer of quantum technologies, has launched Black Opal Enterprise, the expanded rendition of its learning platform that helps businesses adopt quantum computing.
Black Opal Enterprise, which is first of its kind enterprise-ready quantum education platform, now includes user management, tracking, analytics, and co-branding.
The latest launch follows the rollout of Black Opal for individual users earlier this year.
The platform’s first customers include an Australian military unit, a Fortune 500 petrochemicals company, and a government research centre in the United Kingdom, Q-CTRL said in a statement issued Tuesday.
Black Opal’s platform makes it easy for anyone to learn quantum computing regardless of their professional background.
Its features also include a seat licensing structure with account management and administrative functions to provide flexibility for changing learner cohorts, detailed usage analytics, and a dedicated customer support forum and access to experts.
“Black Opal lowers barriers to understanding quantum computing for businesses and organizations building quantum-ready teams and empowered customers,” said Mick Conroy, Q-CTROL’s product manager for Black Opal.
“In our customer engagement – and even in my own journey learning quantum computing on the job – we discovered how powerful building the right visual tools with enterprise functionality could be,” he added.
“As one of the very first Black Opal Enterprise customers, I find the depth of content and the execution quality of Q-CTRL’s edtech tool for quantum computing to be very impressive,” said Ariel Braunstein, SVP Product and Marketing of IonQ.
“The tool will aid in internal educational initiatives to onboard new employees and support their growth. Quantum computing is an exciting new industry and there is always something new to learn, for all levels of expertise.”
