QuantrolOx Unveils VIDYAQAR — the World’s First True Open-Architecture Quantum Platform for Education, Research, Testing and Benchmarking

ESPOO, Finland & BENGALURU, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 10, 2025--

QuantrolOx today announced a major milestone in quantum technology with the launch of VIDYAQAR, the world’s first True Open-Architecture Quantum Platform designed specifically for education, research, testing, and benchmarking. The system was unveiled today in India and will be available globally in the first half of 2026.

The name VIDYAQAR derives from the Sanskrit Vidyākar, meaning “causing wisdom, giving knowledge or science” —a perfect reflection of the platform’s mission to widen access to advanced quantum hardware and accelerate innovation.

A Complete, Open and Scalable Quantum Platform

VIDYAQAR is a connected, fully open-architecture superconducting quantum system that brings together:

Designed for organisations entering the quantum domain for the first time, VIDYAQAR enables teams to start running experiments on day one, customize every layer of the system without constraints, and scale their infrastructure over time.

This is True Open Architecture: transparent, flexible, and modular.

Why VIDYAQAR Matters

A thriving quantum ecosystem requires shared, open testbeds where hardware, software, and control methods can be prototyped, validated, and benchmarked. VIDYAQAR fills this critical gap.

The platform supports a national or institutional quantum strategy by enabling:

VIDYAQAR is built on QuantrolOx’s proven open-architecture quantum computer in Delft, already running with multiple QPUs, electronics stacks, and cryogenic components.

Built for Learning — and for Serious R&D

VIDYAQAR is not only a research powerhouse but also an ideal training environment for the next generation of quantum experts. Key features include:

Availability

VIDYAQAR launches today in India and will be available to customers worldwide in 1H 2026.

QuantrolOx invites universities, national research facilities, and industrial R&D labs seeking an open, extensible quantum platform to join us on the journey to quantum computing.

About QuantrolOx

QuantrolOx develops Quantum EDGE, a next-generation measurement and automation platform that supercharges quantum R&D. Quantum EDGE provides industry-leading capabilities in measurement and automation, all with a modern, polished user interface that is intuitive to use and designed to simplify the complexity of quantum hardware. It works out of the box and integrates with leading instruments. Quantum EDGE is developed and tested on real quantum setups with multiple QPUs across varying architectures - so you can trust it to work reliably in actual lab environments.

Instead of teams of PhD experts spending days manually tuning qubits, Quantum EDGE can automatically characterise and tune a 2-qubit gate in under 25 minutes, and repeat this reliably. That means thousands of development cycles per year instead of just a handful, so hardware teams can improve their qubits much faster. This rapid iteration is essential for building fault-tolerant quantum computers.

GENEVA (AP) — Three skiers from Russia and six from Belarus — including former Olympic and world champions — were approved Wednesday to compete in qualifying events for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games in February.

Their return after exclusion during the full military invasion of Ukraine could be within days at Davos in Switzerland. Former world junior cross-country ski champion Savelii Korostelev posted “debut this weekend” on his social media channels.

The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) said it cleared the applications of the nine to get neutral athlete status and return to competitions for the first time since February 2022.

FIS did not state if it rejected some applications, or how many, though the Russian ski federation told state news agency TASS six of its athletes had asked for neutral status.

A further level of International Olympic Committee vetting must be passed before any qualified athlete can be invited to the Winter Games that open Feb. 6. IOC guidelines to sports bodies have kept Russian athletes excluded from team events in a system enforced for the Paris Summer Games last year.

Athletes who want to compete as neutral individuals without any symbols of national identity must not have publicly supported the war and not have ties to military or state security agencies.

Freestyle skier Hanna Huskova took gold in women’s aerials for Belarus at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics and silver four years later in Beijing.

Anastasia Tatalina was a Big Air world champion for Russia in 2021, and was fourth in freeski slopestyle at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. She also competed in Pyeongchang.

Russian cross-country skiers Korostelev and Dariya Nepryaeva also got neutral status ahead of World Cup races this weekend at Davos.

Both won world junior titles on Feb. 25, 2022 — one day after the war started — racing in Norway. Days earlier, Nepryaeva’s older sister Natalya left the Beijing Winter Games with gold, silver and bronze medals in cross-country skiing.

The Russian ski federation and athletes won a ruling last week at the Court of Arbitration for Sport forcing FIS to start processing applications for neutral status

Russian athletes and team officials could face challenges getting visas to enter some countries that host qualifying events on the World Cup circuits in Alpine, cross-country and freestyle skiing, and snowboarding.

FIS said the approved athletes can compete “provided that they formally accept the conditions associated with the AIN status,” citing the IOC's French acronym for Individual Neutral Athlete.

The ski and snowboard governing body said more decisions on neutral athletes will be made in “upcoming days and weeks.”

The eventual group of Russian athletes competing in Italy in February is likely to be fewer than 20 — a steep drop from more than 200 that went to the Beijing Winter Games, where they won 32 medals including five gold.
