Insider Brief
- SECQAI, a UK-based secure hardware and software company, has launched a hybrid Quantum Large Language Model (QLLM), integrating quantum computing into traditional AI models to improve efficiency and problem-solving.
- The QLLM development involved creating an in-house quantum simulator with gradient-based learning and a quantum attention mechanism.
- The technology will enter private Beta testing with select partners in February 2025, marking a significant milestone in quantum machine learning.
PRESS RELEASE — SECQAI, a UK-based ultra-secure hardware and software company and member of the NATO DIANA initiative, today announces the launch of the world’s first hybrid Quantum Large Language Model (QLLM).
This launch marks a significant step in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by integrating quantum computing into the traditional structure of Large Language Models to enhance computational efficiency, problem-solving capabilities, and linguistic understanding.
Over the last year an expert team of engineers have been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of this next generation of accelerated compute. The team was focussed on the challenges around building a Quantum Large Language Model (QLLM) and approaches to Quantum Machine Learning.
Overcoming the immense hurdles required the design and development of an in-house system that could, efficiently, simulate a Quantum Computer as well as support gradient-based learning and, within this environment, develop a quantum attention mechanism, incorporating it within existing LLM models.
There are significant widespread applications of this quantum transformer and quantum simulator from innovating within semiconductor design at small transistor size, to identifying hidden patterns within existing encryption standards, the development of new material structures and the discovery of new medicines across pharmaceuticals. While early days for this technology, it shows significant promise.
Rahul Tyagi, CEO and Founder of SECQAI comments: “With the launch of the world’s first Quantum LLM, we are entering a new era where AI can leverage quantum mechanics to improve outcomes. This is an incredibly exciting step for Quantum Machine Learning and has the potential to revolutionise multiple industries. Throughout this important International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we will continue to explore the overlap between the AI and Quantum Computing worlds to advance these use cases.”
SECQAI’s Quantum LLM will be available to select partners for private Beta testing at the end of February 2025.
