End of year wrap-up 2025
Qruise highlights from the year 🚀
Hey
2025 was another exciting year for Qruise! We welcomed 5 new Qruisers, 1 new product, and introduced many new updates to our software. Check out the highlights now!
QruiseOS: faster, easier, more reliable bring-up
QruiseML: streamlined simulation & optimal control
Resonance: expansion into magnetic resonance
New partnerships

QruiseOS: faster, easier, more reliable bring-up
This year, we introduced a revamped dashboard in QruiseOS, making it easy to track workflows, manage QPUs and users, and view historical data. We also added parallelised experiment bring-up, a new command-line interface, workflow definition improvements, the option to export data, and fully reproducible JupyterLab environments. Additionally, there were lots of under-the-hood bug fixes and enhancements focusing on improving usability, performance, and stability.
The new QruiseOS dashboard makes it easy to view current and historical QPU data and workflow runs.
The interactive workflow viewer makes it easy to inspect the entire workflow and jump into individual experiments to access the data, analysis outputs, and corresponding notebook.
The Experiment Database is now more responsive and intuitive, with new filtering and pagination. Experiment details open on a separate page and load around five times faster, providing more space for outputs and easier sharing.
To help users find their way around, we've added lots more docs pages, including user guides, knowledge base docs, flow file references, and initial setup guides. We also added a feedback button, so you can let us know if something's missing or not quite right.
Our comprehensive docs make getting started with QruiseOS easy.
QruiseML: streamlined simulation & optimal control
This year brought substantial improvements to qruise-toolset, the Python library underpinning QruiseML. It's now more modular, easier to use, and noticeably faster: the interfaces for defining problems and control signals were streamlined, the optimal control workflow was strengthened, and the underlying architecture was refined for better performance and flexibility.
We also added a whole host of example notebooks to make it easy to get started simulating and optimising a wide range of quantum technologies and control stacks. Check them out now!

Resonance: expansion into magnetic resonance
In May, we launched Resonance, our software for modelling and enhancing magnetic resonance (MR) systems. Building on core technologies originally developed for quantum computing, Resonance aims to tackle the key challenges in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR).
Resonance provides an end-to-end solution that combines full system modelling with advanced optimisation algorithms. By integrating pulse-level design with a highly accurate digital twin of the relevant MR system, Resonance offers a highly realistic, resource-efficient simulation environment. This enables users to design and test high-fidelity, robust pulse sequences without relying on physical access to a lab or scanner, thereby accelerating the development of advanced imaging and spectroscopic protocols.
RF pulses designed using Resonance have greater spectral and spatial selectivity and higher robustness than standard block pulses. In hyperpolarised carbon-13 MRI experiments, for example, Resonance-optimised pulses preserve fidelity across a wider range of field deviations and perform better than conventional non-selective sequences.
New partnerships
This year we've established several new partnerships, allowing us to enhance the compatibility of our software with a wider range of hardware providers.
TreQ
In April, we were awarded an Innovate UK grant to develop an open architecture quantum testbed in collaboration with TreQ. The aim of the project is to build a modular, open architecture quantum computing system that integrates components from across the quantum supply chain.
Since the announcement, we've been working with the other consortium members to ensure seamless integration and operation of QruiseOS across all modules, with TreQ hosting and maintaining the system at its facility in Oxfordshire.
Qblox
In September, we announced a strategic partnership with Qblox to address key bottlenecks in quantum system development and deployment. By combining our advanced machine learning software with Qblox’s state-of-the-art quantum control hardware, we aim to deliver a seamlessly integrated solution that reduces technical overhead and streamlines workflows across the quantum ecosystem.
On the road
This year we've travelled across the globe attending conferences, workshops, and meetings. From the Disney town of Anaheim in sunny SoCal to the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, and everywhere in between, we've had a blast keeping up-to-date with the latest advances in quantum and magnetic resonance, catching up with old colleagues, and getting to know new faces. We're so grateful to everyone who had a hand in organising these events and to those who attended. Looking forward to new adventures in 2026!
Of course none of this would have been possible without our dedicated team of Qruisers, who've given it their all this year. It's been a pleasure to have spent this past year together & we're very proud of everything we've achieved. Thank you all.
Thanks also to all our collaborators, as well as everyone else who had a hand in making this year so fantastic! As we look ahead to 2026, we're filled with excitement about what's to come. Until then, merry Qruisemas and a happy new year!
