We are excited to announce that we have recently been awarded a £1.2 million contract by the UK Government to develop quantum computing solutions for optimisation problems within energy grids. This project, which has been awarded through the Innovate UK Quantum Catalyst Fund and follows a successful Phase 1 feasibility stage, will allow us to work with key users such as National Grid ESO and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to solve some of the key challenges facing the energy grid of today (and tomorrow).

SandboxAQ today announced it has appointed veteran cybersecurity executive Chris Bates as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). As the company’s first CISO, Bates is responsible for protecting SandboxAQ’s data, communications, and intellectual property, while leveraging his expertise in sales, product development, messaging, and go-to-market (GTM) strategies to help develop the company’s AQtive Guard cryptography management platform.

QuintessenceLabs, an industry leader in quantum cybersecurity, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as QuintessenceLabs' Public Sector distributor, enabling the Public Sector to build a quantum-resilient security posture to address the risk of both conventional and quantum computing attacks on sensitive data.

On April 18, Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) awarded six research teams and their design ideas for the Quantum for Environment (Q4Environment) Design Challenge, whose green-tech solutions address global environmental issues. Ideas included using quantum computing to improve medical devices, and sensors that can detect microplastics and toxic nanomaterials in our oceans.

We are surrounded by optimization problems – for example, what’s the most efficient route for getting all your chores done on a Sunday? What’s the best way to pack a suitcase? Modern businesses can’t escape the importance of optimization problems, they’re critical in everything from charting shipping routes to setting prices.
