Riverlane is the world leader in Quantum Error Correction (QEC), the technology that unlocks quantum computing's promise

About us

The fragility of qubits means today's quantum computers fail under an avalanche of data errors long before they reach utility-scale. Riverlane builds QEC tools and technology that correct quantum errors as quickly as they occur. Using sophisticated codes and decoders on proprietary QEC chips, our technology identifies and corrects errors millions, and ultimately billions, of times per second. We accelerate the quantum ecosystem by working closely with many of the world's leading quantum computer manufacturers, government bodies and high-performance computing (HPC) centres. Together, we're opening a world of new possibilities.

  • To make quantum computers truly useful, we must correct errors faster than they accumulate. Our collaboration with Qblox has tackled a major industry speed bottleneck, achieving sub‑microsecond feedback between error detection and correction — highlighted at last month’s #APSMarch2026. 🤔 Qblox also asked the #APS March attendees: which computational resources can meet QEC demand? FPGAs topped the poll (then ASICs, then GPUs) — a view echoed by our staff quantum scientist, Laura Caune, in Qblox's full report: “We believe FPGA-based decoding is essential to achieving the throughput and latency required for real-time decoding at scale. True real-time decoding must be scalable, high-throughput, low-latency, and accurate, which is a very challenging combination. And we believe we need an FPGA for that. That is why we see FPGAs as a critical part of the solution.” More details below 👇 #QuantumComputing #QuantumErrorCorrection #DeepTech #Innovation

    #Qblox set up a wall at American Physical Society Global Physics Summit 2026 and asked the quantum community three questions:  • 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗾𝘂𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗻?  • 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴?  • 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗤𝗘𝗖 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱? 👉 𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: https://lnkd.in/eJ49YsP2 Dozens of answers. One honest takeaway. The field is not converging. It's experimenting at scale. Spin qubits lead modality interest. qLDPC is gaining ground on codes. FPGAs dominate near-term hardware thinking. What the data does not show is consensus. Across all three questions, the community is still in active exploration. That is not a weakness. It is the correct posture for a field at this stage.

  • Quantum error correction just got a reality check 🧬💻 Qubits are prone to all sorts of errors. Sometimes they simply "leak" out of the calculation or disappear entirely (atom loss). These are called noncomputational errors, and they are notorious for causing cascades of errors. Until now, simulating these complex errors at scale was a massive bottleneck.  That’s why we’re releasing Deltakit-Stim. 🚀 It’s an extension of the popular Stim tool that allows researchers to:  ✅ Simulate leakage without sacrificing speed.   ✅ Model how noncomputational errors "travel" between qubits.   ✅ Build smarter, adaptive decoders for real-world hardware. If you’re working on QEC benchmarking or decoder design, this can help make your simulations and decoders match the complexities of device noise.

    On World Quantum Day, let’s explain why the decoder is the beating heart of Quantum Error Correction (QEC). 💓 To move from today’s noisy devices to utility-scale quantum computing, we must solve one of the biggest bottlenecks in the field: the decoding problem. Quantum computers generate a continuous stream of error data. A decoder’s job is to identify these errors and fix them in real-time (often in less than a microsecond) before the system loses its logical state.  It’s a complex landscape, and there’s a new frontier opening up: pre-decoding. Pre-decoding is an exciting development in the QEC space. By using AI to “clean” and simplify syndrome data before it reaches the main decoder, we can potentially reduce the workload on the entire system and improve accuracy.  However, pre-decoding comes with a challenge: it must be incredibly fast and must not introduce new errors.  As an early evaluator of NVIDIA's Ising Decoding, their new AI-based pre-decoder, Riverlane's Joan Camps is speaking at NVIDIA Quantum Day today on exactly this topic. 👉 Register here for the talk: https://lnkd.in/eVkKyVAh  📅 Tuesday 14th April, 9:45 – 10:30am PT  Can’t make the talk? Joan has written a blog post exploring why real-time decoding matters, Riverlane’s approach to adaptive decoding, and NVIDIA’s latest "Ising" model announced today. 🔗 Read the full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/eTfyGMyX #QuantumComputing #QuantumErrorCorrection #WorldQuantumDay
