SandboxAQ to test and evaluate its quantum sensor prototype aboard Air Force aircraft

We look forward to collaborating with NSSIF to elevate awareness and development of dual-use AQ technology in the UK as well as with the broader international community,” said SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary. “This is part of a larger effort for SandboxAQ to engage with tech consortiums in the UK and around the globe to advance understanding of quantum technology, global national security requirements, and applications in the commercial environment.”
An NSSIF spokesperson said: “SandboxAQ’s strategy has the potential to unlock solutions to many global challenges, including cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection, pharmaceutical drug discovery, advanced navigation, and climate change. Working with businesses such as SandboxAQ contributes to NSSIF’s objectives of accelerating the adoption HM Government’s future national security and defence capabilities, and the development of the UK’s dual-use technology ecosystem.”
