Multiverse Computing
Multiverse Computing is a quantum software company delivering value for industry. They tackle high-value, open problems in finance, manufacturing, energy management, pharmaceuticals, and cybersecurity using their quantum and quantum-inspired SaaS toolbox: Singularity. They don’t defocus as they actually focus on 4 problems: Optimization, Machine Learning, Stochastic problems and Simulation. These 4 problems happen across all verticals, and the core algorithms are all the same: an optimization problem, for example, can happen in Finance and also in Energy. They only tweak the core algorithm with minimum effort to apply it to another industry. That is why their Software is highly scalable. Singularity is also intended for the masses and hence they serve all users – including those with low technical knowledge – which want to use out-of-the-box solutions for their use-cases.
