Cambridge Quantum Computing
Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) is a UK-based quantum software and algorithms company that was founded in 2014. CQC focuses on developing and delivering software solutions that can leverage quantum technologies to solve real-world problems. The company is at the forefront of the quantum computing revolution and has developed a number of innovative tools and platforms that can be used to design, simulate, and implement quantum algorithms.
The company has a team of experts in quantum computing, cryptography, chemistry, and physics, who work together to develop quantum solutions that can be used to tackle some of the biggest challenges in science, technology, and computing. The company has attracted investors from around the world and has partnered with a number of leading companies and institutions to bring its technology to market.
Platforms:
One of the key strengths of CQC is its ability to develop software platforms that can be used to design, test, and implement quantum algorithms. The CQC t|ket⟩ platform is a full-stack software solution that can be used for quantum circuit optimization, error mitigation, and hardware-based software development. The platform includes a range of tools that can be used to simulate quantum systems, design quantum circuits and develop quantum algorithms.
CQC also has a platform called IronBridge, which leverages the company’s expertise in cryptography and cybersecurity to develop quantum secure solutions. IronBridge is a platform for cryptographic protocol development and deployment, with a focus on post-quantum authentication, encryption, and secure communications. The IronBridge platform uses CQC’s quantum-safe cryptographic solutions to protect data and ensure secure communications in a post-quantum computing era.
Applications:
CQC is focused on developing quantum software solutions for a variety of applications in fields such as finance, medicine, logistics, and materials science. The company’s quantum algorithms can be used to solve complex problems that are difficult or impossible to solve using classical computing methods. For example, CQC has developed an algorithm for portfolio optimization that can be used by investment companies to optimize portfolios and maximize returns.
CQC is also working on developing quantum machine learning algorithms that can be used to process and analyze large volumes of data. These algorithms can be used in many applications, such as drug discovery, personalized medicine, and financial forecasting.
Partnerships:
CQC has formed partnerships with a number of leading companies, institutions, and research labs to develop and implement its quantum solutions. In 2018, the company formed a partnership with IBM to develop quantum-safe solutions for IBM’s IBM Q Network.
