Work that has to survive review.

In a field this crowded with claims, peer-reviewed results are the only credential worth having. These are the questions we are working on and the collaborations we are open to.

  • Quantum optimization
  • QML
  • PQC engineering
  • Hybrid runtimes

§ Active areas

R—01

Quantum optimization on operational problems

Applied rather than asymptotic. Instances taken from live industrial data.

Published QAOA results tend to use synthetic graphs. Real scheduling and allocation problems carry constraints that change the encoding entirely.

Questions

  • Constraint encoding strategies that keep circuit depth tractable
  • Penalty weight selection without exhaustive search
  • Where digital annealing outperforms gate-model QAOA
  • Instance structures that predict quantum benefit

Method

  • Benchmarks against production classical solvers
  • Reproducible harnesses published alongside results
  • Noise-model simulation before hardware runs
  • Negative results reported, not buried

R—02

Quantum machine learning under realistic data

Testing whether the quantum feature space earns its cost on data that is not curated.

Quantum kernels demonstrate separation on constructed datasets. Whether that holds on industrial telemetry is an open and testable question.

Questions

  • Feature map design for high-dimensional sensor data
  • Barren plateaus in application-scale circuits
  • Kernel estimation cost against classical alternatives
  • Quantum-assisted anomaly detection in network telemetry

Method

  • Classical baseline established before any quantum run
  • Statistical significance over repeated trials
  • Ablation against equivalent classical kernels
  • Data provenance documented

R—03

Post-quantum cryptographic engineering

Deployment questions rather than primitive design. The algorithms are settled; the rollout is not.

Migration at national-infrastructure scale raises engineering problems the standards documents do not address.

Questions

  • Hybrid key exchange behaviour across legacy middleboxes
  • PQC performance on constrained and OT hardware
  • Automated cryptographic discovery at estate scale
  • Crypto-agility patterns that survive the next transition

Method

  • Measurement on production-representative testbeds
  • Interoperability matrices across implementations
  • Open tooling where it does not expose client estates
  • Standards-body engagement

R—04

Hybrid runtimes and HPC integration

The classical half of the loop, which is where the wall-clock time goes.

Quantum-classical workloads on shared HPC infrastructure raise scheduling and data movement questions that neither community has fully addressed.

Questions

  • Scheduling variational loops on shared clusters
  • Tensor-network simulation limits for wide circuits
  • Transpilation cost amortisation across iterations
  • Error mitigation overhead at application scale

Method

  • End-to-end profiling, not per-component timing
  • GPU simulation baselines via cuQuantum and CUDA-Q
  • Reproducible container images per experiment
  • Cost modelling alongside performance

§ Publications

No publications listed yet.

Preprints and papers appear here as they clear review. We would rather show an empty list than pad it.

§ Collaboration

Academic

Joint research

We are open to co-authorship with university groups, particularly where a research question needs industrial data that academic teams cannot access on their own.

Industrial

Problem donation

If you have an operational problem and want it studied properly, we will work on it under NDA and publish only the anonymised methodology and results.

Funded

Grant programmes

We participate in open innovation and technology development calls where a named industrial partner brings a real problem and a real deployment target.
