Quantum technology
We aim to provide our customers with solutions that create real value for their business.
We believe that Quantum technology is one of the most important technologies of our time, which will be inevitable in the future in the industry for solving various optimization, simulation, and telecommunication problems, as well as various artificial intelligence applications.
Is Quantum Technology worth using?
Problem transformation into Quantum domain
We feel it is increasingly important to introduce our customers to the possibilities of Quantum technology. Many people may think that Quantum technology is in its infancy and not worth pursuing until it is widely available. Perhaps the most important thing is to know what this new technology is capable of, where it fits into current IT infrastructures, and what it can be used for.
Most quantum computer manufacturers allow you to rent machine time on their machines. This is probably the cheapest way to access the world’s leading technologies.
We propose solutions to our customers in which the problem space to be optimized is transformed into ISING MODELS that can be used in the quantum domain, so the optimization can be performed on the rented infrastructure and the result can be transformed back into a form that can be handled with traditional IT tools. So, yes! Clearly, there are some application areas where quantum technology can be used effectively and others where it is not worth waiting for the competition to be the first to use it.
Key applications of Quantum technology:
Quantum technology is extremely efficient in the following areas:
- Scientific research
- Optimization of production and production technology
- Simulations of the chemical industry and materials technology
- Pharmaceutical research and development
- Logistics simulation, supply chain optimisation
- Financial modeling and forecasting
- Portfolio and risk management
- Healthcare imaging, Quantum-AI based disease detection
- Anomaly detection, detection of operational errors and frauds
The four main application areas of Quantum technology:
- Quantum-based artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)
- Quantum optimization algorithms
- Quantum-based telecommunications
- Quantum simulation techniques
Quantum-based Machine Learning (ML)
Due to its operating principles, Quantum technology can greatly speed up the process of machine learning.
The training of classic artificial intelligence algorithms requires significant energy and computing power on traditional computers.
Thanks to Quantum-based machine learning, extremely expensive supercomputers are now less and less necessary to efficiently train various complex algorithms on large data sets.
Quantum optimization
In industry and science alike, optimal operation is vital, that is, one needs to achieve the best results and the highest performance within the existing constraints (for example, costs).
Quantum-based optimisation techniques help us to do this by enabling us to quickly and efficiently optimise systems whose complexity exceeds our current limits, as opposed to computers that operate on traditional principles.
Quantum-based optimisation can be used to effectively improve your manufacturing and logistics processes, the organisation of energy storage and use, as well as the management of other resources.
Quantum simulation
Systems that utilize Quantum technology can simulate the outputs of highly complex problems with extreme efficiency.
The number of correlations between simulation parameters exponentially increases the computational demand required to carry out the simulation, and often even classic supercomputers cannot perform the task.
Quantum simulations offer a way to handle highly complex systems whose complexity overloads conventional computers.
Quantum communication
One of the most important potential applications of Quantum communication is quantum key distribution (QKD), which can provide a solution to new generation cybersecurity problems.
The need for QKD systems is driven by the fact that with the rise of quantum computers, the currently used cybersecurity solutions are at risk. Therefore there is a need for new protocols with which the keys used for encryption can be securely transmitted to the parties.
Quantum communication-based “prepare and measure” protocols and entanglement-based quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols provide solutions to these aforementioned problems.
How does Quantum technology work?
Principles of Quantum Technology
Quantum computers are devices that perform calculations on data by leveraging phenomena based on quantum mechanical laws, such as quantum superposition, quantum interference, and quantum entanglement. The advantage of quantum computers is that they can perform highly complex calculations that could not be solved with conventional computers.
While the basic unit of information in a conventional computer (based on Neumann’s principles) is the bit, their equivalent in a quantum computer is the qubit (or quantum bit). A qubit can be created based on any two-state quantum system, be it either the “spin” of a magnetic field or the vertical or horizontal polarization of a photon. Unlike classical binary bits – their values can only be 0 and 1 – qubits exist as a superposition of all their possible states, until we determine their value at a given time with a measurement. The main advantage of Quantum technology lies in the quantum mechanical properties of these qubits.
Qubits and quantum superposition:
While a classical bit can only represent a single binary value (0 or 1), a qubit can exist in both values at the same time, with a certain probability of being “0” and a certain probability of being “1”.
On 3 classical bits, a maximum of 2³ (i.e. 8) different values can be stored, but it can only represent one of these variations at a given time.
On the other hand, 3 qubits represent all 8 values at any given time due to the phenomena of quantum superposition.
The amount of information a qubit system can represent grows exponentially, with just 20 qubits representing already more than 1,000,000 different values.
Qubits and quantum entanglement:
Quantum entanglement means a correlation between two particles, as a result of which, when the state of either particle changes, the other reacts to it instantly.
In the case of qubits, this means that measuring the value of one qubit allows us to know the value of the other (quantum entangled) qubit immediately.
Qubit - The basic unit of information
- It has quantum mechanical properties
- Exists in its superposition, and its specific value at a given time can be determined by measurement
- It can be quantum entangled with another qubit

The principles of Quantum Computers
Computation on qubits:
Quantum computers use qubits and their quantum mechanical properties to perform logical operations. The task of a quantum computer is to manipulate the value of qubits by leveraging their quantum mechanical properties (superposition, entanglement, interference) to place entangled qubits in the appropriate superpositions. Since qubits then exist still in their superpositions – i.e. they exist simultaneously in all possible states that is possible in their entanglement – the computer has to measure the value of them. Using these measurements we can transform the information, stored in a qubit system, into a classical bit-based information (values represented by zeros and ones).
Results of computation on qubits:
After all the operations have been performed, qubits still exist in all their possible values (in a superposition), so the quantum computer has to measure the qubit values several times to get the desired result. Therefore, the most important difference compared to classical computation is that a quantum computer only needs to check these values in repetition, while the highly demanding calculation processes will not repeated at all.
As a result, a quantum computer can perform computationally demanding tasks orders of magnitude faster than a conventional computer could.
Key benefits of Quantum technology
- It is orders of magnitude faster than traditional computers when performing tasks with high computational demands
- Requires only the multiple measurements of qubit values, which has low demands on energy and time consumption
- It is enough to perform the calculation operations once
