Our Quantum
approach
-
Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to perform complex calculations at unprecedented speed.
A single quantum computer has the potential to outperform the world's fastest supercomputer, offering new avenues for research and development in areas such as cryptography, materials science, and drug discovery.
-
Quantum sensing technologies exploit quantum phenomena to achieve high-precision measurements in various fields, such as navigation, imaging, and medical diagnostics.
Quantum sensors can achieve up to 1,000 times better sensitivity than classical sensors, highlighting the potential impact of quantum sensing technologies on diverse industries.
-
Quantum communication systems enhance security and privacy in data transmission through quantum key distribution and quantum entanglement.
The use of quantum communications can improve the security of information transfer by orders of magnitude compared to classical methods, addressing growing concerns over cyber threats and data breaches.
-
Companies that use AI/Advanced ML to solve industry-specific problems have the potential to be leveraged by quantum technologies in the future.
Example use cases are the development of digital twins, in-silico-trials, design tools, or AI chip development. Such startups have the potential to emerge as the next generation of quantum startups.
