This business focuses on developing Intellectual Property (“IP”) for Quantum Computing (“QC”) based on nano-scale gold’s surface state to host induced superconductivity and other special characteristics. The concept is to build a scalable, robust system that creates memory at an atomic scale for QC, in a more stable state than currently available.
QC is globally important as it offers a secure, exponential increase in speed for performing calculations (i.e., compared with existing computers) while having inherent security. These capabilities give it a unique edge in applications such as AI, machine learning, drug discovery, financial forecasting, and even climate modelling among many others.
During preliminary investigations, the team discovered the unique properties of nanoscale gold and its potential applications in QC. The objective is now to further develop the potential for IP, and if developed to pursue patent protection, and ultimately commercialise the technology.
