Consortium Partners
Multiverse Computing is the first start-up worldwide really focused on quantum technologies for industrial applications especialized in financial industry. Among the first in EU on quantum computing. Partnering with key players (Xanadu, Microsoft, Fujitsu, IBM, Rigetti, DWave, NTT…). The team is a world-class one with internationally most-read papers on quantum computing for finance, published in the pretigious Reviews in Physics and Physical Review.
The founders of Multiverse have raised companies in other areas of Deep-Tech such as blockchain (Blocktac), international health insurance (Omnixhealth), Quantum Security Consulting (Entanglement Partners) and IT Security (CyberNForce) and have directed Venture builders ( "The Carrot Cake Venture Builder"). One of them, Enrique Lizaso, has extensive experience in banking (IT, Control, Quantitative Finance and having been Deputy-CEO of Unnim Bank in Spain). And the founders from the field of Quantum Computing have an extensive CV in leading universities and research centers (Germany, Australia, UK) and abundant scientific articles published in high-impact journals (Nature among others).
The workers of Multiverse Computing are the four founding partners: Román Orús, Samuel Mugel, Enrique Lizaso and Alfonso Rubio-Manzanares, Beñat Mencía (from the technical team) and Bob Dameron (from the business team).
Multiverse computing is concern about exploring quantum technologies as a whole in order to find applications for the benefit of society. For this reason, recently they founded Multiverse Computing Research.
The Quantum Group of Tecnun – University of Navarra is part of the MATπCOM (Mathematical Principles of Information and Communication Systems) group in the department of Basic Sciences and Bioengineering.
The group first started to conduct research in the field of quantum information in 2018. Despite the short track record the MATπCOM group has in this area, its activity has been prolific. In a span of 3 years, the group has published five journal articles (in high impact research journals), two conference articles and currently has two more journal articles under review. Its strong background in classical information theory and coding, combined with the duality that exists between classical and quantum error correction, has led to fruitful research and promising results in specific areas of quantum information. To be more specific, the group has focused on developing quantum error correction codes (both for quantum memories and for communications), quantum noise level estimation stratagems, mathematical models for decoherence, and quantum noise and theoretical results on the achievable limits of quantum error correction. Quantum error correction is pivotal for the true potential of quantum computing to be realized. In fact, experts in the quantum information research community consider that quantum computers cannot be built in the absence of quantum error correction.
The Quantum Nanophotonics Laboratory is hosted in the Materials Physics Center, in Donostia-San Sebastian. It was created in early 2018 and since then has expanded to encompass a series of experimental techniques, including optical spectroscopy with classical and quantum light, development of quantum sources of light, quantum control of nanostructures, optical tweezers and optical levitation.
The Quantum Nanophotonics Laboratory is composed by a team of scientists working to unveil the physics of the interactions of quantum light and matter at the nanoscale. They experiment with exotic states of light such as single photon states, entangled photons or squeezed states of light and force them to interact with very small structures.
The group aims to control the quantum features of nanoparticles by exploiting their interaction with light. This allows designing more precise quantum enhanced sensors, improving information processing and investigate new optical phenomena at the frontier between quantum optics and nanophotonics.
