About Us
Quantum computing is advancing rapidly, but the tools used to design and scale quantum systems have not kept pace. As machines grow in size, the challenge is no longer limited to qubits alone.
It lies in designing, integrating and operating increasingly complex control systems that span analogue electronics, digital hardware, embedded software and real-time orchestration.
Quantum Control Sustainability
Today, most quantum control systems are still developed through a combination of vendor tools, bespoke scripts and manual experimentation. Integration issues are often discovered late, once hardware is already built and installed.
This leads to long development cycles, duplicated effort, and costly trial-and-error in the lab. As systems scale, these approaches become harder to sustain.
Control Systems Meet Software
Coherence Engine is building an electronic design automation platform for quantum computing that brings control system design into software.
Our platform provides a virtual environment where teams can design, simulate and validate their control architectures before committing to hardware. Engineers can explore system-level behaviour, understand interactions between components, and make informed design decisions earlier in the development process.
Holistic Quantum Control System Modelling
The platform is designed to model both analogue and digital aspects of quantum control systems. This includes signal chains, timing behaviour, data flow and system architecture. By bringing these elements together in a single environment, Coherence Engine enables a more holistic view of how control systems behave as they grow in size and complexity.
Enabling Collaboration Across Quantum Control Teams
Coherence Engine is vendor-neutral and designed to work alongside existing tools and hardware. It is intended to support the diversity of approaches found across the quantum ecosystem, rather than replacing them. Our goal is to provide a shared foundation that improves collaboration among physicists, engineers, and software teams while reducing integration risk and development overhead.
Building Scalable Quantum Systems with Confidence
By shifting more design and validation work upstream into software, Coherence Engine helps teams shorten development cycles, reduce cost and build more scalable quantum systems with greater confidence. As quantum computing moves from laboratory prototypes towards engineered machines, this kind of system-level design infrastructure will be essential.
