Aquantumaccelerator is a specialised hardware unit that speeds up specific quantum algorithms, or tasks.
They act as co-processors to classical computers, such as CPUs or GPUs, taking on specific quantum calculations.
The result is quantum devices that are portable and energy-efficient, making them particularly useful forlarge-scale deployment inedge devices.

We believe this technology will play a pivotal role in addressing strategic challenges across industries and critical national priorities.
A mobile quantum computer could perform complex calculations on-site instead of relying on data centres or cloud access.
The breakthrough brought the dream of quantum computing a step closer to reality.
