From Demo Experiments to a Continuous
Outcome Engine
Classical systems struggle on certain hard problems (routing, scheduling, molecular
simulation, risk scenarios). Quantum computers don’t replace laptops; they act as
specialists for optimization/simulation/sampling inside hybrid workflows. Q-Bit
packages these kernels into repeatable pilots that convert to contracts.
Why the timing works
• Standards: NIST finalized the first post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards
(ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA), giving security teams a real migration path.
• Platforms: Microsoft shipped early PQC to Windows Insiders & Linux,
encouraging enterprise-scale testing before full cut-over.
• Finance pilots: IBM & Vanguard explored hybrid portfolio optimization—serious,
KPI-driven work.
• Telecom ops: AWS Braket showcased a telco backhaul upgrade case—an NP-hard
planning task framed for quantum/quantum-inspired methods.
• Payments rails: Visa expanded stablecoin settlement and explained why high
throughput/low fees matter—context for Q-Bit’s “adjacent heavy math” (proofs,
batching, routing).
Challenge
Enterprises need faster answers and cleaner evidence: fewer empty miles
and delays, smaller R&D dead-ends, steadier portfolios under stress, and
a quantum-safe posture for long-life data. Queues, vendor lock-in, and
ad-hoc experiments block progress; compliance teams need audit trails,
not one-off demos.
One Unified
Solution
(How Q-Bit
Works)
Flow: Client systems → Q-Bit Portal/API → Orchestrator
(compiler +
scheduler + error-mitigation) → Vendor gateways (multi-vendor quantum
capacity) → Dashboards & KPIs (with optional on-chain receipts).
What makes it different:
• Multi-vendor by design: workloads are portable; no single dependency.
• Portable software core: Q-Bit’s orchestrator stabilizes outputs and
reduces per-result cost over time.
• Outcome pricing: clients buy results (jobs, capacity blocks, software
subscriptions), not chip experiments.
• Reliability: capacity reservations (priority queues), health checks,
and failovers if a provider is busy—without client disruption.
• Trust: minimal data moved/kept; logs and receipts for internal audit
and (optionally) on-chain anchoring.
The Results
(What
Customers
See)
• Operations: fewer empty miles, steadier ETAs, smoother maintenance
windows.
• R&D: smaller, smarter candidate sets before lab spend; faster go/no-go
decisions.
• Finance: richer scenario coverage with clearer stress outcomes.
• Security: practical, staged PQC migration with proof of progress.
• Trust: every run leaves a trace; where needed, receipts can be
anchored on-chain.
KPIs (plain words): on-time %, miles/hours saved, lab-cycles avoided,
scenario coverage, runtime trends, queue times, success rates,
per-result cost, renewal rates.
Payments & Proofs Around the Rails
Problem: Modern settlement needs throughput and cost control;
batching, routing, and
verification are heavy math problems.
Q-Bit approach: Use quantum-assisted kernels to plan/batch
transactions, optimize
routes across venues, and speed adjacent proof/verification workloads while L2s
handle raw throughput. Optional on-chain receipts anchor job fingerprints.
Why it’s credible: Visa’s work on high-throughput chains (e.g.,
Solana) underscores
the performance barrier; Q-Bit targets the math around those rails.
Research & Discovery (Pharma, Materials)
Problem: Classical simulators struggle to model quantum-scale
chemistry; labs waste time on weak candidates.
Q-Bit approach: Run digital shortlisting (docking/property
estimation) through a hybrid pipeline; push only the hardest kernel to the right
quantum backend; return tighter shortlists and plain KPIs (candidates removed,
cycles saved).
Why it’s credible: Mitsui/Quantinuum/QSimulate launched QIDO to
accelerate chemistry/materials, showing the stack is forming.
Portfolio & Risk Scenarios (Finance/Insurance)
Problem: Desks need more scenarios per day (CVaR, constraints)
without exploding compute budgets.
Q-Bit approach: Schedule sampling/optimization kernels to the best
vendor; report scenario coverage, run-time, and stability; convert pilots to
capacity blocks + subscriptions.
Why it’s credible: IBM & Vanguard publicly documented
quantum-classical exploration of portfolio construction.
Routing, Dispatch & Scheduling (Logistics/Plants/Networks)
Problem: City routing, plant downtime, network upgrades—classic
NP-hard problems where small errors scale to big costs.
Q-Bit approach: Upload stops/constraints; the portal shapes the job
and selects a quantum step for the hard subproblem; dashboards show on-time %, miles
saved, runtime. Failovers and priority queues keep delivery predictable.
Why it’s credible: AWS Braket detailed a telco backhaul upgrade
case that mirrors Q-Bit’s framing.
Security — Post-Quantum Readiness
Problem: Long-life data and assets must survive future quantum
attacks.
Q-Bit approach: Crypto-inventory → test NIST-aligned PQC → phased
migration with audit-ready logs and optional on-chain anchoring; crypto-agility so
stacks can switch if standards evolve (e.g., HQC as backup to ML-KEM).
Why it’s credible: NIST finalized three PQC standards; HQC selected
as backup; Microsoft shipped PQC into mainstream platforms—clear signals to start
the migration.
