The OQC GENESIS generation is an evolution of the Toshiko generation processor featuring OQC’s multi-mode Dual-rail Dimon Qubit (DDQ) technology to create logical qubits.We replace certain physical qubit lattice sites on the chip with DDQs, but keep the simple I/O, making this one of the most hardware efficient architectures for quantum error correction.

An upgraded OQC Toshiko build featuring quantum error detection.

THREAT DETECTION

Quantum computers are able to better detect vulnerabilities within security networks enabling optimised risk simulation by using methods that train a family of parameterized unitary time-devolution operators to cluster normal time series instances.

CLASSIFICATION

Quantum computing offers novel approaches to enhance or accelerate classification, for example in complex or high-dimensional financial datasets. There is particular promise in adversarial classification, a scenario where we have a third party attempting to confuse the classifier by adding small deviations to the object being classified.

FRAUD DETECTION

Quantum computing can identify subtle anomalies in high-dimensional transaction data that classical systems might miss. By encoding transaction attributes into quantum states, these models can potentially generalise better on small and complex datasets.

VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS

Using quantum to identify, classify, and prioritise security weaknesses in a system, network, or application by identifying the paths to security compromise on a network.

ARBITRAGE

Quantum computing could allow for the identification and seizing of profitable opportunities before others and before price corrections. By using quantum algorithms for statistical arbitrage trading by utilising variable time condition number estimation and quantum linear regression.

MegaQuOp Era

This is the era for commercial advantage. To deliver MegaQuOp generation systems, OQC will scale its devices to achieve a 10-6 error rate, 200 logical qubits within 2,000 lattice sites, enabling millions of quantum operations. The clock speed, defined as the QuOp cycle rate, is expected to be 1 MHz. OQC TITAN will outperform classical compute for applications in financial services and in security & defence.

Further quantum error correction occurs with minimal redundancy – scaling to 200 logical qubits at very low error rates to run millions of quantum operations. This will include our wafer-level packaging that supports thousand-qubit scaling.

The OQC TITAN generation devices will include quantum error correction code concatenation to reach millions of quantum operations, and enable near-term applications.

This era of devices will enable customers to identify important events and anticipate what happens next

  • Detect fraud
  • Uncover new scam and cyber threat patterns
  • Assess merchant risk and opportunities
CRYPTANALYSIS

Elliptic curve cryptography is a public-key cryptosystem used for key agreement and digital signatures, and is commonly relied on for cryptocurrencies. There is currently no known classical algorithm that can efficiently break this security guarantee. Shor’s algorithm, originally developed for problems such as integer factorisation (used in RSA) can also be applied to the group structure of elliptic curves, thereby breaking the security guarantees of elliptic curve cryptography.

MATERIALS SIMULATION

The simulation of materials is one of the most promising applications of quantum computers by determining the ground and excited state properties of materials. These computed values then serve as initial conditions for DFT run on a classical computer, improving convergence and quality of this large scale simulation.

DERIVATIVE PRICING

Quantum deep hedging could reduce risk for a portfolio by using quantum reinforcement learning models. Quantum deep hedging considers market frictions and trading constraints using methods based on policy-search and distributional actor-critic algorithms that use quantum neural network architectures with orthogonal and compound layers for the policy and value functions.

DEEP HEDGING

Quantum computing can quadratically speed up risk calculations by improving sampling efficiency, particularly when using Quantum Signal Processing (QSP) to encode financial derivative payoffs directly into quantum amplitudes, alleviating the quantum circuits from the burden of costly quantum arithmetic.

  • Generate synthetic data 
  • Train and test models
  • Develop new analytics
DECRYPTION

RSA 2048 is a public-key cryptosystem that is widely used for the encryption of data via the sharing of a public key and an unshared private key. It allows someone to encrypt a message with a public key that only the owner of the private key can decrypt. There is currently no known efficient decryption algorithm without the private key using a classical computer. Shor’s algorithm allows a quantum computer to efficiently decrypt these encrypted messages.

LINEAR ALGEBRA

The quantum singular value transform has many key application areas from solving systems of linear equations to Hamiltonian simulation. Solving systems of linear equations in particular can apply to computational fluid dynamics, machine learning and finite element analysis among many others. Hamiltonian simulation is a key tool towards quantum chemistry problems.

QUANTUM CHEMISTRY

The simulation of chemical systems using quantum computers leverages the ability of a quantum computer to simulate other quantum systems with great efficiency. Many problems in quantum chemistry are bound by the compute constraints of classical computers. It is natural for a quantum computer to encode and simulate another quantum system.

DRUG DISCOVERY

With its potential to minimise the expensive and time-consuming nature of facilitating end-to-end drug development, quantum computing could open new avenues for in-depth research on multifactorial diseases: necessitating the adjustments of multiple targets.
