What We Do
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
