Investible initially backed the Quantum Brilliance team in 2021, via our Early Stage Fund 2, alongside members of the Club Investible syndicate.
The QB/ParityQC strategic partnership was one of three bids selected for the €35 million project, the largest research amount ever awarded by Cyberagentur. The project’s goal is to make a mobile quantum computer for use in defense, security and civilian applications and is designed to keep Germany at the forefront of technological innovation.
Quantum Brilliance and ParityQC were selected for the unique expertise that each company offers through their collaborative strategic partnership. Quantum Brilliance focuses on miniaturisation, producing smaller quantum chips that operate at room temperature using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in synthetic diamonds as qubits. Its core technologies include precise qubit positioning and electrical readout, enabling compatibility with traditional semiconductors. ParityQC, on the other hand, is developing a quantum architecture and operating system for highly scalable NV-centre quantum computers.Both approaches are essential in achieving a mobile quantum computer.
“We’re excited to work with our partners at ParityQC and we thank the Cyberagentur for its commitment to innovation,” said Mark Luo, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Brilliance. “The potential of a quantum mobile computer is enormous for defense and cybersecurity in Germany and allied nations, and we believe our technology is the perfect fit for fulfilling the goals of this project.”
“We believe that the partnership with Quantum Brilliance puts us on a path to developing the world’s first mobile quantum computer,” said ParityQC Co-CEOs Wolfgang Lechner and Magdalena Hauser.
“ParityQC’s architecture offers advantages that will be critical to mobile development, such as the ability to process larger algorithms faster, and at a reduced error rate.”
The benefits of a mobile quantum computer include being able to perform highly complex simulations at quantum speeds deployed directly in the field instead of in data centres or via cloud access, allowing for secure and reliable computing power in remote environments. In warfighter situations, a mobile quantum computer could optimise troop movements, analyse battlefield scenarios, and simulate chemical or biological agents in real time.
“Mobile quantum technology will enable powerful computations in environments not possible with classical computers,” said Mark Mattingley-Scott, Chief Revenue Officer and EMEA General Manager for Quantum Brilliance. “The technology will not only enhance defense and cybersecurity but will eventually benefit applications in scientific research, supply chain management, finance and more.”
