Podcast with Stephen DiAdamo, Co-founder and CTO of Qoro Quantum

Stephen DiAdamo, co-founder and CTO of Qoro Quantum, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. DiAdamo discusses Qoro’s position as a software middleware company that abstracts hardware away from applications, walking through the Divi SDK, circuit serialization and parallelization, and an orchestrator that automatically selects between 12 simulation methods on CPU and GPU or dispatches to QPUs from any vendor. They explore how Qoro plugs into HPC schedulers like SLURM rather than replacing them, the CESGA proof of concept built on the CUNQA platform, the “150,000 lines of code to 20” claim, and the argument that multi-QPU centers are needed today for fallback and resilience and for scaling applications. DiAdamo also reflects on developer experience for students learning QAOA and variational algorithms, and Qoro’s two-year history. Their orchestrator picks among 12 CPU/GPU simulation methods (stabilizer, tensor network, Pauli propagation, MPS, etc.) or routes to QPUs from any vendor, choosing based on circuit properties rather than user input Yuval: Hello, Stephen, and thank you for joining me today. Stephen: Thank you very much. Yuval: So who are you and what do you do? Stephen: So I’m Stephen DiAdamo. I am the CTO of Qoro Quantum. Qoro Quantum is a software company looking at…
