While quantum-enabled technology is on the cusp of transforming many industries, the dearth of a trained quantum workforce hinders widespread deployment. Infleqtion aims to democratize and accelerate quantum research and education by involving a wider audience in the discovery and development of quantum-enabled technologies.

Establishing a quantum research lab requires substantial resources, thus limiting access to only a handful of universities, companies, and national labs. To address this critical scarcity of access to quantum hardware, Infleqtion created “Oqtant,” a cloud-accessible quantum lab for performing sophisticated research and enriching scientific education. From across the world, researchers and learners of all levels can create quantum matter and dynamically control reconfigurable optical fields – a method known as "painted potentials" – to explore quantum phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation, interference, non-linear behavior, atomtronics.

In this presentation, we will introduce Oqtant and demonstrate how learners at many levels can leverage it for quantum education and research.
