A spin-off of the U.K.'s University of Cambridge has completed a successful trial of a quantum universal operating system, just months after obtaining a 7.6-million-pound ($10.1-million) grant to deploy it on the country's quantum computers. Steve Brierley with quantum software company Riverlane said, "We have solved a really important problem in quantum computing: how hardware and software interact whilst teasing the highest possible performance out of a quantum computer." Added Riverlane's Leonie Mueck, What we’ve managed to demonstrate is that our operating system can talk to quantum hardware and that it is portable across different technologies.” Christopher Ballance at quantum hardware firm Oxford Ionics said Deltaflow's universal applicability enables software developers to write applications for different types of quantum hardware, intensifying competition in the quantum sector. ...
