Qruise

Qruise, a spin-off from the Forschungszentrum Jülich, was founded in late 2021 by Shai Machnes, Frank Wilhelm-Mauch, Tommaso Calarco, and Simone Montangero. The founders' collective expertise in quantum technologies and machine learning has been instrumental in shaping the company's trajectory.

Operating in the deep-tech sector, Qruise has developed a software platform that leverages machine learning to automate the development and operation of quantum devices. This platform, described by the founders as a "machine learning physicist," is designed to assist scientists and researchers in their daily workflows without requiring them to be machine learning experts. The software provides an extensive library of system components, pulse shapes, and optimization algorithms, which facilitates the rapid simulation of quantum systems and the characterization of quantum hardware.

The company's business model is centered on providing its software to researchers and companies in the quantum computing field, enabling them to accelerate their research and development cycles. By automating the traditionally complex and time-consuming process of quantum device calibration and control, Qruise's solution helps to improve the performance and reliability of quantum hardware. The company has secured funding from Constructor Capital and reported revenues of $3.3 million in 2024 with a team of 22 people.
