Leveraging AQ - the powerful compound effects of AI + Quantum technology
About us
SandboxAQ is harnessing the exponential power of AI + Quantum (AQ) technology. The inspiration for SandboxAQ and some of the team originated at Alphabet Inc., becoming an independent entity in 2022. Our mission is to develop commercial products for financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, public sector, and other computationally-intensive industries. Our team’s unique approach enables cross-pollination across a diverse range of fields, from physics, computer science, neuroscience, mathematics, cryptography, natural sciences, and more! Our success comes from coalescing diverse talent to create an environment where experimental thinking and collaboration yield breakthrough physics + AI solutions. Join a culture where thought leadership, diverse talent, employee engagement, and technological impact will create the next tech uproar. We are deeply committed to education as a means to advance quantum solutions and computing initiatives. We invest in future talent through internship programs, research papers, developer tools, textbooks, educational talks/events, and partnerships with universities/talent hubs to attract multi-disciplinary talent. Our hope is to inspire people from all walks of life to be prepared for the quantum era and encourage a path in STEM.

What if GPS was no longer the backbone of navigation? SandboxAQ is pushing the boundaries of what's possible with magnetic anomaly-based navigation (MagNav) through a series of publications on our AQNav technology. Building on our successful collaboration with the United States Air Force, AQNav enables real-time navigation in GPS-denied environments, and our latest TACFI contract extension will expand its capabilities across a broader range of USAF aircraft. See the next evolution of navigation. https://bit.ly/4gIUaOi

In Deloitte’s Tech Trends 2025, this vision takes shape as AI becomes the scaffolding for nearly every emerging trend, from spatial computing to hardware innovations and core system modernization. Quantum computing, for instance, is transforming cybersecurity, with AI playing a crucial role in accelerating advances in quantum cryptography. As SandboxAQ's Marc Manzano emphasizes, “The first step to reclaim control over decades of cryptographic sprawl across IT is to leverage modern cryptography management solutions.” Quantum computers are rapidly advancing, posing a threat to the encryption systems we rely on. As these technologies evolve, current cryptographic methods could soon be vulnerable to attacks from cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs). The time to act is now. Explore how updating encryption has never been more urgent. https://bit.ly/4iFcLwB Colin Soutar, Itan Barmes, Robert E. Williams

Cybersecurity is advancing at a rapid pace, and SandboxAQ is driving the momentum. This year has been a standout, with 18 peer-reviewed publications in cryptography, including a best paper award at Asiacrypt. We also played a pivotal role in the release of FIPS 205, a key NIST standard for the PQC transition, through the SPHINCS+ consortium. To top it off, our SDitH signature algorithm has moved into the second round of NIST's PQC Standardization. These milestones aren’t just accomplishments, they're part of a larger effort to reshape digital security, with SandboxAQ leading the charge.
