SEALSQ to Make Cloud-Based Quantum Computing More Accessible and Affordable

5.        Scalability of Quantum Services

• By embedding Quantum-as-a-Service into SEALSQ’s cloud, companies can access quantum computing resources without having to build their own infrastructure.

• This will allow for on-demand quantum computing for secure transactions, AI models, and cybersecurity applications.

SEALSQ’s initiative aligns with the industry’s pay-as-you-go model, which charges users based on execution time, shots (circuit runs), or subscription plans. Quantum cloud computing supports hybrid computing, combining quantum processors with classical computing for optimized performance. Leading providers also offer error mitigation tools to counteract the noisy nature of current quantum devices.

Overall, the cost of quantum computers varies widely based on capabilities, intended use, and access methods.

• Access method: IBM Quantum offers superconducting qubit-based processors. Amazon Braket connects users to D-Wave, Rigetti, and IonQ quantum computers. Microsoft Azure Quantum partners with IonQ, Rigetti, and Quantinuum. Google Quantum AI provides select users access to its Sycamore processor for research and development. Cloud-based quantum computing is driving breakthroughs in various industries, including optimization for logistics, scheduling, and resource allocation, quantum cryptography for ultra-secure communications, drug discovery by simulating molecular structures to accelerate pharmaceutical development, and machine learning through quantum-enhanced algorithms.

• Segments: Cloud-based quantum computing is driving breakthroughs in various industries, including optimization for logistics, scheduling, and resource allocation, quantum cryptography for ultra-secure communications, drug discovery by simulating molecular structures to accelerate pharmaceutical development, and machine learning through quantum-enhanced algorithms. Google Quantum AI provides select users access to its Sycamore processor for research and development. SpinQ Technology offers desktop quantum computers for educational purposes, priced between $5,000 and $50,000.

• Capabilities: PsiQuantum is collaborating with governments to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer, with investments reaching $1 billion. D-Wave Systems provides quantum annealing systems for optimization problems, with a 2000-qubit system priced at approximately $15 million.

As quantum computing technology advances, cloud-based services are expected to become more affordable, featuring higher qubit counts with improved error correction and seamless integration with classical cloud computing. SEALSQ aims to be at the forefront of this evolution, ensuring a secure and scalable approach to quantum computing adoption.
