Quside Is A Finalist In EUSPA’s MyEuspace Competition
WITHIN THE “DIVE IN QUANTUM” CATEGORY AND WITH QUSIDE’S RIGOROUS SOLUTION WHICH DEVELOPS RANDOMNESS-INTENSIVE ALGORITHMS FOR NEAR REAL-TIME ROUTE OPTIMIZATION, QUSIDE HAS BEEN SELECTED AS A FINALIST IN THE CONTEST.
Barcelona, April 11th, 2022
Integrating quantum technologies with the Galileo and Copernicus EU space programs.
The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) has selected Quside to submit a final proposal in the myEUspace competition within the “Dive in Quantum” category.
Participants in this category are challenged to develop innovative solutions that apply quantum technologies (such as computing, sensing, simulation, encryption, etc.) and provide a tool that apply this innovative in space, taking advantage of the Galileo and/or Copernicus space programs.
RIGOROUS: Quside’s solution for stochastic route optimization using Galileo and Copernicus constellations.
Quside has presented RIGOROUS
(Randomness-Intensive algorithms for near-real-time route optimization), a solution in which the company leverages its expertise in randomness acceleration to develop randomness-intensive algorithms for route optimization.
With the data recovered from the Galileo and Copernicus EU programs, the stochastic solver is exposed to the end-user through a standard API interface. In this way, any GNSS-enabled device (from aircraft carriers to unmanned vehicles, whether ground or air) can use the RIGOROUS optimizer to retrieve real-time information about their environment and be able to update their route instantly.
- Gathering real-time target position from Galileo’s constellation.
- Gathering near-real-time environmental conditions from Copernicus.
- Gather high-speed, high-quality random numbers from Quside’s QRNG
- Run the stochastic optimisation algorithms on the cluster
- Propose an optimal route for the target.
- Back to step 1, to provide continuous feedback.
About EUSPA: EUSPA is the European Union’s operational agency for the Space Programme. It takes a user-oriented approach to promoting sustainable growth and improving the security of the European Union.
Quside builds quantum technologies for more secure connectivity and advanced computing.
