See our ResearchQuantum algorithms represent a transformative leap in computational capabilities, offering solutions to several classs of problems that are currently intractable for classical computers. By leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, these algorithms can process information at faster speeds with fewer resources, delivering breakthroughs in fields such as cryptography, optimization, and simulation. At BEIT, we are at the forefront of translating theoretical quantum advantages into practical applications. Our work focuses on efficient implementations of critical components essential for quantum computing, such as our patented hardware-efficent MicroDiffusers for unstructured search, and specialized oracles for quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO). Currently, BEIT holds 16 patents in the area of quantum algorithms. These technologies introduce new and enhance the performance of existing quantum algorithms by optimizing their operation within the quantum hardware, crucial for solving complex optimization problems more efficiently than ever before.
Combinatorial optimization methods including QUBO are used widely in various industries for scheduling, logistics, machine learning, and more, making our solutions versatile across multiple applications. In addition to our advancements in quantum technology, we also recognize the current limitations of quantum hardware. To bridge this gap, we offer a quantum-inspired GPU-accelerated QUBO solver, available today on AWS. This tool allows users to experience gains that we have learned by studying quantum systems on conventional accelerated hardware with the accessibility and ease of use that modern cloud platforms provide.
By providing advanced algorithmic solutions that are both quantum-inspired and quantum-ready, we enable industries and researchers to tackle their most challenging problems today while paving the way for the fully realized quantum future.
Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is a fundamental pillar in the development of robust quantum computing systems, ensuring that quantum computations are reliable despite the inherent fragility of quantum states. At BEIT, we recognize the intertwined evolution of quantum error correction and algorithm design as essential for advancing practical quantum computing applications. Our approach focuses on optimizing QEC protocols in harmony with the computational demands of specific quantum algorithms.
"There is no inherent reason that quantum fault tolerance needs large numbers of extra qubits, and we should not be satisfied with protocols that do."
This integrated strategy is particularly pivotal as we develop our fault-tolerant implementations of Grover’s Search and Quantum Phase Estimation algorithms. By co-designing our error-correcting codes with the algorithmic requirements, we aim to minimize the overhead typically associated with implementing complex multi-qubit operations required by such algorithms. Our innovative QEC methods leverage recent advances in fault-tolerant compiling techniques, allowing for more efficient use of quantum resources and reducing the need for extensive ancillary systems and state factories often required by traditional approaches like the Surface Code.
Our commitment to refining QEC not only enhances the performance of our existing quantum algorithms but also prepares the infrastructure for scaling up quantum systems to handle more complex tasks. By reducing the qubit overhead and streamlining fault-tolerant operations, we enable more practical and accessible quantum computing solutions, pushing the boundaries of what is computationally possible.
Quantum computers will soon offer unprecedented capabilities in simulating complex molecular and atomic interactions. These simulations can lead to breakthroughs in various fields, from drug discovery to advanced battery design, by providing insights that are provably unattainable with conventional supercomputers no matter how powerful. Generally speaking a quantum computer is a device that can directly model the behaviour of a quantum system using a similar number of qubits to the number of particles whereas classical computers will always require a number of bits that scales exponentially in the number of particles. At BEIT, we are at the forefront of this transformative shift, working to rigorously benchmark the expected gains of quantum simulation and further enhance the efficiency through novel algorithmic techniques.

BEIT was founded in 2017 in Krakow, Poland, by three experienced professionals with strong backgrounds in technology and academia. The founders had previously held important roles at major organizations such as Google, CERN, Motorola, and Allegro, Poland’s largest e-commerce platform. Their combined experiences covered areas critical to advanced computing, including quantum physics, network systems, and algorithm development. They also brought academic insights from their time as professors and researchers. This mix of industry knowledge and academic expertise provided a solid foundation for BEIT to innovate in the quantum computing field.
