C12 Partners with QC Design and Adopts Plaquette to accelerate towards Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing with Carbon Nanotubes

C12, a Paris-based quantum computing company developing a unique carbon nanotube spin-qubit architecture for scalable, universal quantum computing, has announced the adoption of QC Design's Plaquette software to accelerate the development of its fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture.

Plaquette is a quantum design-automation platform that enables theory teams to simulate, analyze, and optimize fault-tolerant designs under realistic noise models. This collaboration equips C12 with the tools to benchmark quantum error-correcting codes and refine its unique carbon nanotube architecture as the company scales towards practical fault tolerance.
