Quantum Software

Heuristics are ubiquitously used to guesstimate solutions. Our tech ends reliance on this inaccurate "guessing" to quickly deliver exact answers.

Why it mattersSkunk Works for DoD Software Development. Our team designs, builds and operationalizes state-of-the-art AI, ML and Quantum tools for unique military applications. If someone wants to leverage ChatGPT 4.0...that is not us. Need to produce a stand-alone LLM using real-time NLP inputs on the edge?...that's us. Need to create an energy landscape to optimize when/where USAF tankers need to refuel...that's us. In summary, we are coding experts that specialize in TRL2-6 software to deliver operational MVP military program tech.

About

Problem

Any warfighter making decisions within a large combinatorial situation...and most military decisions involve large combinatorial situations...is either lucky or wrong. This is because no classical tool exists for delivering complex multi-variate solutions in real-time.

Solution

Our desktop-based, quantum optimization interface replaces spreadsheet (or even whiteboard) heuristics, estimations, approximations and guesses.

Field Validation

Our technology is Phase III and in production operation with AFMC. Technology Maturity (TRL): TRL9 (in use for AFMC at Tinker AFB).

Strategic Advantage
