Keysight Acquires Quantum Benchmark

Keysight Technologies has made its third acquisition in the quantum computing field by acquiring Quantum Benchmark, a company in Waterloo, Canada that specializes in providing software solutions that enable error characterization, error mitigation, error correction and performance validation for quantum computing hardware. This follows Keysights previous acquisitions of Signadyne in 2016 and Labber Quantum in 2019. (See a previous article we posted last month about Keysights's quantum activities.) The intent is to combine Keysight's existing control electronics and instrumentation solutions with Quantum Benchmark's software to provide a more complete offering for quantum hardware developers.
