QuantrolOx is a UK based company founded in 2021 that is developing machine learning software to automatically tune, calibrate, stabilize and optimize qubits. As the number of qubits in the quantum processors continue to increase, this process gets more and more complicated and having an automated way of doing it becomes mandatory. The company has received a £1.4 million seed funding round led by Nielsen Ventures and Hoxton Ventures with additional participation from Voima Ventures, Remus Capital, Hermann Hauser, and Laurent Caraffa.
