Conductor Quantum Launches Coda: Natural Language Quantum Computing

Conductor Quantum recently launched Coda!

^{TL;DR Quantum computing will not scale if every program is a hand-written circuit. The future is describing what you want a quantum computer to do and letting the system handle the rest.}

Hi everyone - Meet Brandon and Joel from Conductor Quantum.

They’re announcing Coda - their natural language interface for quantum computing.

Quantum computers offer a new computing paradigm for simulating the world at the atomic level. This opens up new possibilities in chemistry, materials science, and drug discovery that push beyond what the largest classical supercomputers can handle.

The Team

Pictured left to right: Raymond (Founding Engineer), Brandon (CEO), and Joel (CTO).

Brandon (center), CEO, Previously a postdoc at Oxford, with multiple Nature journal publications on silicon quantum computing. Developed early AI systems for automated qubit formation. PhD, Oxford.

Joel (right), CTO, Built machine-learning–based control software for superconducting qubits at QuantrolOx, with prior roles at Quantum Motion and C12. MSc Physics, UCL. Left machine learning and quantum computing PhD at Oxford to start Conductor.

Raymond (left), Founding Engineer, Former SpaceX guidance, navigation, and control software engineer whose code flew on 100+ Falcon 9 missions. Previously worked on robotics at NASA and quantum machine learning at Cornell. BS Physics and Computer Science, Harvard.

Problem

Using quantum computers today requires deep domain expertise and low-level tooling.

Solution

‍

Type your problem into a box, Coda builds the quantum circuit, verifies the code and runs it on current state-of-the-art quantum computers.

If you’re completely new to quantum, the founders included a learn mode to get you started. One of the first quantum computers they’re offering on their platform is Rigetti’s (S14) 84-qubit quantum computer. Coda also supports simulations up to 34 qubits supported by NVIDIA cu-Quantum.

‍

Why?

Coda is being built because the team at Conductor Quantum wants everyone to be able to access a quantum computer from their desk, as soon as possible.

‍

What They’ve Achieved So Far

• Built the first API for low-level silicon quantum chip control.
• Partnered with quantum chip maker SemiQon and ran the software across 64 of their quantum devices.
• Shipped quantum control software for companies including Quobly and EeroQ.

‍

What’s Next?

• End-to-end GPU + QPU orchestration, so classical and quantum computation work together in a single workflow.
• Connecting Coda to their lower-level quantum control and tune-up software, closing the loop from high-level intent to device-level execution.
• Pushing their control software to larger numbers of qubits as hardware scales.
