QC Ware is a quantum-computing-as-a-service company based in Palo Alto, California.
History
QC Ware was founded in 2014 by Matt Johnson, KJ Sham, and Randall Correll after Johnson met a group of researchers at NASA Ames interested in quantum computing.[1][2]
In 2018, QC Ware was one of the first testers of Google's Cirq framework, publicly demonstrating an implementation of the QAOA algorithm on a simulator.[3]
Services
In 2019, QC Ware launched Forge, a cloud platform that aims to allow developers to run algorithms on hardware provided by multiple vendors. As of the launch, the platform offered access to a D-Wave quantum computer, but only simulations of Google and IBM machines.[4]
Q2B conference
QC Ware hosts an annual practical quantum computing conference. The first Q2B was hosted in 2017.[5]
