UC Berkeley and QuantrolOx Sign Agreement to Advance Quantum Computing Industrialisation

Insider BriefPress release – The University of California, Berkeley, on behalf of its Department of Physics and the Roger Herst Quantum Nexus, and QuantrolOx Inc. have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing a five-year framework for collaboration on the end-to-end industrialisation of quantum computing – advancing the technology from bespoke, laboratory-scale experimentation toward standardised, automated, and manufacturable systems for real-world applications.The collaboration brings together UC Berkeley’s world-leading superconducting quantum research at the UC Berkeley Department of Physics and the Roger Herst Quantum Nexus, with QuantrolOx’s expertise in hardware-agnostic, machine-learning-based software for automated qubit characterisation, calibration, and control.Professor Irfan Siddiqi, Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley, said:“Bringing the strengths of academia together with in an open collaboration with industry is by far the most efficient path to a quantum computer relevant to real-world applications. The white-box superconducting qubit platform we have here at Berkeley is an ideal test environment for developing QuantrolOx’s commercial tools for design, characterization, calibration, and control of quantum devices. Rather than working in physically separated remote teams, we will use the new Roger Herst Quantum Nexus as a collaboration space to facilitate rapid progress, efficient workforce training, and contribute to the public dialogue on quantum computing.”Vishal Chatrath, CEO of QuantrolOx, said:“Quantum computing will not scale on laboratory heroics alone. Industrialisation requires common tools, automated workflows, shared data architectures, and a skilled workforce – and this collaboration with UC Berkeley, home to one of the world’s foremost superconducting quantum programs, gives us the opportunity to advance all four. Together we intend to help define how quantum processors are built, tested, and operated at industrial scale.”According to the agreement, the parties recognise the value of educational, cultural, and scientific exchanges between academia and industry, noting a shared interest in overcoming scalability bottlenecks in quantum computing.Key areas of interest for the collaboration include:The MOU is effective July 7, 2026, and establishes a non-binding, five-year framework for these activities. Specific initiatives, including any research or commercial engagements, will be defined through separate agreements between the participants.TopicsShare Get the latest research, company news, and market intelligence every week.
