Quantum technology jointly developed at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) has now been spun off into a new deep tech startup, AQSolotl.

 

The startup’s flagship product, CHRONOS-Q, is a quantum controller that acts as a translator between conventional computing systems and quantum computers.

 

Developed by university researchers affiliated with Singapore’s Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), it enables users to control quantum computers easily and efficiently using their laptops and desktop computers.

 

Unlike traditional computers that operate on a binary system of 1s and 0s, quantum computers utilise the principles of quantum mechanics to achieve vastly superior computational capabilities.

 

Quantum computers will solve problems once considered unsolvable by conventional computers, opening new possibilities in fields like cryptography, advanced simulations and AI. They are theorised to be many thousands of times more powerful than today’s fastest silicon processors for some complex computational tasks.

 

The proprietary quantum controller technology, developed and refined over three years, is currently being piloted at CQT as part of the hardware setup for the National Quantum Computing Hub and NTU’s Nanyang Quantum Hub.
