Full research & services breakdown

Six research areas. One studio. Hardware-agnostic by design.

We work across superconducting, trapped-ion and photonic platforms through cloud QPU access, and we're upfront about which parts of a project run on real hardware today versus high-fidelity classical simulation.

Quantum algorithm design & research

Where a quantum approach might actually earn its complexity.

01

Optimization problems

Combinatorial optimization work — routing, scheduling, portfolio problems — evaluated for genuine quantum advantage against strong classical baselines.

02

Search & sampling

Grover-family search adaptations and quantum sampling methods for problems where classical approaches scale poorly.

03

Variational algorithms

VQE and QAOA circuit design and tuning for near-term, noisy hardware, with realistic error budgets.

04

Complexity analysis

Rigorous analysis of whether a proposed quantum method actually beats the best known classical algorithm for your specific instance sizes.

05

Benchmarking

Head-to-head benchmarking against classical solvers, reported honestly — including the cases where classical still wins today.

06

Published research

Original algorithm research, written up to publishable standard where the client wants it shared with the field.

Quantum-safe cryptography & migration

Protecting systems that need to outlive the arrival of cryptographically relevant quantum hardware.

01

Cryptographic inventory

A full inventory of where and how vulnerable cryptography is used across your systems — the step most migrations skip.

02

PQC algorithm selection

Selecting NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms appropriate to your performance and compliance constraints.

03

Migration roadmapping

A phased, realistic migration plan sequenced by risk — not a single "rip and replace" mandate.

04

"Harvest now, decrypt later" risk review

Assessing which of your current data is at risk from adversaries storing encrypted traffic today for future decryption.

05

Hybrid cryptographic deployment

Implementation support for hybrid classical/post-quantum schemes during the transition period.

06

Compliance alignment

Mapping migration work to relevant regulatory guidance and industry timelines.

Quantum simulation software

Software that runs today, ports forward as hardware matures.

01

Materials modeling

Simulation tools for materials discovery problems — properties, stability and behavior under different conditions.

02

Molecular & chemistry simulation

Quantum chemistry simulation for molecular structure and reaction modeling, built on established variational methods.

03

Logistics & scheduling models

Simulation environments for testing quantum-inspired approaches to routing and scheduling before committing real QPU time.

04

Custom simulators

Purpose-built classical simulators for a specific research question, tuned for speed over general-purpose flexibility.

05

Noise modeling

Realistic noise and decoherence modeling so simulation results reflect what real hardware would actually produce.

06

Visualization tooling

Interfaces for exploring simulation output that a non-specialist team member can actually read.

Hybrid quantum-classical systems

Sensible architecture, not a QPU bolted onto everything.

01

System architecture

Defining which parts of a workload genuinely benefit from quantum processing versus staying classical.

02

QPU orchestration

Job scheduling and orchestration across cloud quantum providers, including fallback to classical solvers when queues or noise levels make sense.

03

API & integration layer

Clean integration points so quantum components can be swapped or upgraded as better hardware becomes available.

04

Cost & performance modeling

Realistic cost modeling for cloud QPU access against the performance gain actually delivered.

05

Vendor evaluation

Independent evaluation of quantum hardware and cloud providers against your specific workload, not a vendor's benchmark suite.

06

Production hardening

Taking a working prototype through the reliability and monitoring work needed for production use.

Research partnerships & academic collaboration

Working alongside university groups and national labs.

01

Co-research programs

Joint research projects with university physics and computer science departments, structured around a shared research question.

02

Sponsored PhD & postdoc work

Funding and co-supervising academic research aligned with a client's long-term technical interests.

03

Publication support

Co-authoring and preparing research for peer-reviewed publication.

04

Conference & workshop participation

Presenting joint research at relevant academic and industry conferences.

05

Grant & proposal support

Technical writing support for research grant applications involving quantum computing components.

06

Talent pipeline

Structured internships and research placements connecting academic talent with applied client problems.

Quantum readiness training & advisory

Separating genuine near-term opportunity from hype.

01

Executive briefings

Plain-language briefings for leadership teams on what's realistic in the next one, three and ten years — no overselling.

02

Technical workshops

Hands-on workshops for technical teams covering algorithm basics, current hardware limits, and practical toolchains.

03

Opportunity assessment

A structured review of where quantum computing genuinely intersects with your business problems today.

04

Investment & roadmap advisory

Advisory support for teams deciding how much, and when, to invest in quantum readiness.

05

Talent & hiring guidance

Helping technical leaders understand what quantum computing skills to hire for, and when.

06

Ongoing advisory retainer

A standing advisory relationship to keep pace with a field that's still moving quickly.

Q3 2026 — 3 engagements open

Not sure which of these applies to you?

Most engagements start with a short technical assessment. That's often enough to tell you honestly whether quantum belongs in your roadmap yet.
