QxBranch, LLC (QxBranch) is a data analysis and quantum computing software company, based in Washington, D.C.[1] The company provides data analytics services and research and development for quantum computing technology.[2]

History

QxBranch was founded in 2014 as a joint spin-off of Shoal Group and The Tauri Group to commercialize quantum computing technology.[3] Shoal Group (named Aerospace Concepts at the time) had a research agreement with Lockheed Martin to access a D-Wave Two quantum computer, and transitioned the access and associated technology to help found QxBranch.[4][5]

In August 2014, QxBranch was selected as one of eight participants for Accenture's FinTech Innovation Lab program in Hong Kong.[6]

In May 2015, Dr. Ray O Johnson, former Chief Technology Officer of Lockheed Martin Corporation, joined QxBranch as Executive Director.[7]

In January 2016, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull toured QxBranch's facilities in Washington, D.C. for a demonstration of quantum computing applications.[8]

Locations

QxBranch is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and has an engineering team in Adelaide, Australia.[8]
