Applied research · Federal programs

Applied research for the systems that don't exist yet.

Quantum Ventura takes a problem from first principles through to demonstrated hardware and software. Thirteen active programs across six federal agencies, in machine learning, imaging, radar and materials science.

Products

Research that reached the field.

Three systems that started as federal research problems and now run in production, each still under active development with its original partners.

Data streams converging on a processor core with hostile paths intercepted at the boundary

CyberNeuro-RT

AI/ML-driven real-time network defense and threat intelligence. Runs on CPU, GPU or low-power neuromorphic silicon, so the same models deploy from a cloud core to a sensor at the edge.

With Lockheed Martin MFC and Penn State, under Department of Energy funding.

Electrochemical cell separating metals out of dissolved electronic waste

E-RECOV

A US-patented electrochemical process that dissolves non-ferrous metals out of electronic waste. 25% higher recovery, 75% less chemical reagent, 30% lower water and power, at room temperature with zero toxic emissions.

With Idaho National Laboratory and Colt Refining. $2.6M in DOE STTR awards.

Layered system stack with a hardened kernel layer stopping probes from above

Diamond-Droid

A hardened Android kernel. The security framework is resident in the kernel itself, below the application and file layers where conventional policy frameworks sit, and where attackers work.

Licensed from Diamondbay Technologies. Phones, wearables and IoT devices.

Company

A research company, not a product company that also does research.

Federal programs come to us with problems that have no answer yet. Our work is to find one, and then engineer it into something that survives contact with the real world.

What we do Applied research across seven technical domains, taken from first principles through to demonstrated hardware and software.

Who we do it for Federal program offices, prime contractors and the national laboratories.

How we are vetted DCAA audited, HubZone located, and certified by the Department of Transportation and the State of California.
