Article Summaries:
- qBraid, founded in June 2020 by Kanav Setia, Jason Necaise ‘20 and other Dartmouth alumni, offers a cloud‑based platform that lets users access leading quantum devices and software with minimal setup. The interface connects to hardware from IBM, Microsoft, Nvidia and others, enabling users to start coding or deploy quantum applications in under ten minutes. Since launch, the service has helped more than 20,000 people in over 120 countries run code on quantum computers, aiming to lower the steep learning curve that has traditionally limited broader adoption of quantum technology.
