 I'm here with Dr. Andre Dragomir with AQUARC Technologies and he is about to describe to us a very novel technique and technology for quantum computing and devices that can be made with miniaturized quantum computers. Could you talk to us a little bit about that Andre? Hello, so everybody heard of the quantum computer and how it can change the world, can just leave semiconductor technology behind. What most people don't know is that together with the quantum computer, quantum technology brings along a huge array of different sensors like time measurement, gravity measurement. You can even go as far as making a navigation system that doesn't need connection to a satellite for example and has huge precision and we are here to miniaturize all the current technology that's currently in laboratory environments and bring it to everyday user. So if you like the processor of quantum technology is the cold atom system and it generally looks like that. It occupies a huge room and it requires several PhD students to run so experience personnel is definitely not currently fit for field applications. What would you call this a quantum computer? No, it's a simple quantum system so it's like what lies at the heart of the quantum computer and different quantum technologies. So this is this is the device that would allow you to establish atoms or whatever in a quantum state and measure their state. That's exactly it, that's exactly it and we have managed to miniaturize all that into just this which is in that tiny device. This tiny little thing which is a miniaturized integrated vacuum chamber specifically designed for cooling down atoms. So this obviously has no cryogenics associated with it. Tell me how you how you're keeping, how are you keeping this cold or what do you do to cool it. So in order to cool atoms down you generally need lasers which is a bit counterintuitive because you think lasers it hits things up but actually if you use them properly you manage to localize the atom in a single place you're reducing their kinetic energy and so it just cools down almost down to zero Kelvin so absolute zero. So beyond having a miniaturized vacuum chamber you also need we also develop novel laser geometries that will accomplish that and our first design for a product would be an atomic clock which is right here. So the device that we're holding up this quantum clock measures about three by four by five inches on a side it's a cube inside or a few modules and a couple wires but it's amazingly simple. Can you say a few more words about that? Yes so generally now the second is measured to an SI unit in London and the National Physics Laboratory have a huge room to measure that second. Well most of the things that are in the room are fit in this box and we can measure time to a resolution to 10 to minus 11 seconds with this system. That is amazing. So you're not actually doing quantum computing with bits but you're doing quantum measurement devices is that fair to say? That's the first stage. So the same technology can be applied to everything from time measurement up to quantum computing and quantum memory but this will be our first stage to actually get into the market. And then what stage would you call this? That's pre first stage. So that's everything that's the magic that allows us to miniaturize technology to this level. Okay so this quantum clock that I described is four by five by three inch cube is that available and working today or what state is this in today? Right so this today it can be built upon request. Gotcha. That's the state this we're at. Okay and then this other device is very small like half inch on a side cube. What kind of time frame are we talking for this kind of a device? So that is already available as soon as we have customers. So that's one of our one of our main points of being here. So we're first looking for partners, customers and maybe who knows investors and we can make this more than just a lab based device. So it would appear that you would be marketing not as much initially to consumers but but companies that build devices that could incorporate quantum technologies, quantum measurement. Exactly. So first of all we are planning on getting a bit of traction with universities and research groups. That was going to be the first year or so of our development and the aim is to become the processor of quantum technology in let's say 10 years time so that every car, satellite or train will be based on our devices. This is fascinating. I'm really applaud what you're doing. So the company name again is AQUARC Technologies and you can find more about us at futureworlds.com where we have a profile set up and you can also find out about more about other startups that are joining us today as well. So futureworlds.com that's the place to be. Fantastic. Andre, thank you very much. It was a wonderful to hear about what you're doing and I like to see this in the real world someday. Thank you. Hopefully we're going to get there. Thank you. All right. Thanks for the interview. Awesome. Thanks.
