Investment firm Triaxiom Capital and Applied Quantum Software announce a collaboration to develop and deploy quantum-powered risk metrics for institutional portfolio management.

Together we are implementing commonly-used measures of financial risk such as portfolio Value-at-Risk and Conditional Value-at-Risk, using quantum algorithms running on simulators and real QPUs to the extent possible, benchmarked against results generated using classical Monte Carlo simulation.

Triaxiom Capital is a regulated quantitative investment firm trading in global financial markets through a systematic application of mathematical models. Triaxiom Capital, LLC is solely registered as a Commodity Pool Operator, based in San Francisco, CA.

Applied Quantum Software participates in Creative Destruction Lab’s quantum stream most recent session for the 2025/2026 cohort at the University of Toronto, connecting with mentors, investors, and fellow quantum ventures.

Applied Quantum Software establishes its first SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) agreement with a deep-tech angel investor, marking an important milestone in the company’s growth.

New research from Dr. Zhuang's team bridges theoretical quantum physics and practical experimentation, with implications for quantum algorithm design. The conventional approach for generating genuine random states, called `deep thermalization’, faces significant challenges, including scalability issues due to the need for a large ancilla system and susceptibility to attacks.

Holographic deep thermalization is a secure and hardware-efficient quantum random state generator. By adopting a sequential application of a scrambling-measure-reset process, it continuously trades space with time, and substantially reduces the required ancilla size to as small as a system-size independent constant. At the same time, security is guaranteed by removing quantum correlation between the data system and attackers. A circuit-based implementation on IBM Quantum devices achieves genuine 5-qubit random state generation utilizing only 8 physical qubits.

AQS joined Quantum Rings at their booth during the Q2B 2025 Silicon Valley conference, showcasing their partnership and the AQS platform to the quantum computing community.
