Black Brane Systems (Past Sponsor)

The BLACKSTONE Virtual Quantum Machine (VQM) services from Black Brane Systems Inc. is a cloud-based, virtualized, 128-qubit universal quantum computer. It acts as a plug-and-play alternative target machine for the Microsoft Quantum Developer Kit and Q# programs. Underlying Blackstone is a proprietary break though in data structures that allows an unprecedented level of scalability for quantum calculations on classical computers.

BLACKSTONE will be available through the Azure marketplace and includes integration and extension libraries for Microsoft’s Quantum Development Kit (QDK), Azure services and the .NET Core runtime. The QDK integration library includes an API-compatible drop-in replacement for Quantum Simulator target machines, enabling Q# developers to build and run quantum programs on BLACKSTONE without modification. The system executes a data-flow complexity of up to128 qubits in constant-factor time over the expected performance of a physical 128-qubit quantum chip, versus the exponential-factor time of state-vector simulators.
