The premise

Quantum computing will not be a commodity. It will be a scarce, contested and strategic capacity. Those with guaranteed access will pull ahead. Everyone else will wait in line — and pay the market rate, by the hour.

01 — The model

Three ways to accessthe quantum.

Buying a machine is out of reach. Renting by the hour is unpredictable. Co-ownership is the third way: guaranteed access, controlled cost, a transferable asset.

Option A

Buy a machine

$12,000,000+
  • Capital locked in a single asset
  • Maintenance, calibration and staff on you
  • Capacity largely under-used
Out of reach
Option B

Rent by the hour

$1,500–$8,000/h
  • No availability guarantee
  • Prices follow demand
  • You own nothing at the end
Costly over time
Option CRecommended

Capacity co-ownership

From $200,000
  • Guaranteed machine hours every year
  • Priority scheduling based on your share
  • Unused hours can be resold
  • Transferable slot
Strategic edge
02 — The matrix

60 slots.Compose your share.

The machine is divided into 60 equal slots. Select them directly in the matrix: your allocation, hours and priority level update in real time.

Run the numbers.With your assumptions.

No hidden figures: every assumption is visible and adjustable. Compare the cost of equivalent rented access with the net cost of co-ownership.

04 — Technology

Computing withlight.

A photonic quantum computer encodes information in single photons travelling through waveguides etched on a chip. Here is what happens inside, in four steps.

01 / 04

One photon, one qubit

A source emits single photons. Quantum information is carried by their path, polarization or time of arrival.

02 / 04

Superposition

A beam splitter sends each photon down two paths at once. Superposition, made physical.

03 / 04

Programmable interference

Phase shifters tune the phase of each path. The computation is how those paths interfere with one another.

04 / 04

Measurement

Single-photon detectors read out the result. The circuit is replayed thousands of times to build a distribution.

01

Room-temperature chip

No dilution refrigerator for the computing circuit.

02

Fibre-optic native

Photons travel over existing telecom networks.

03

Modular architecture

Photonic chips are manufactured and assembled at scale.

04

Low decoherence

Photons barely interact with their environment.

05 — Secondary market

Your slot works.Even at rest.

Every hour of your allocation can be used, shared with a partner or listed on the co-owners’ market. No capacity goes to waste.

Use

Run your workloads with priority scheduling.

Resell

Offer unused hours to other organizations.

Share

Allocate time to your research partners.

07 — Why now

Capacity is finite.By design.

One machine, 8,760 hours a year, 60 slots. That is not a marketing line, it is physics: once the slots are allocated, the only way in will be the secondary market.

  1. 01

    Expression of interest

    Tell us how many slots you need and your use cases.

  2. 02

    Assessment within 48 h

    Our team prepares a tailored capacity assessment.

  3. 03

    Co-ownership contract

    Sign a registered contract that defines your rights.

  4. 04

    Onboarding

    Platform access, scheduling and first runs.

08 — What you own

A real right.Not a subscription.

Co-ownership is governed by contract, following the proven model of aircraft or building co-ownership.

01

Registered contract

Each acquisition is covered by an enforceable co-ownership contract defining your hours, priority and rights.

02

You own, we operate

Maintenance, calibration and upgrades are handled by PhotonSlot. No operational burden for you.

03

Migration right

Your contract provides for migration to future generations of the machine.

04

Transferable

Your slot can be transferred on the secondary market, under the contract’s terms.

09 — Questions

Everything you need to know.

A slot represents 1/60 of the machine’s capacity, about 146 hours of machine time per year. It grants you a priority access right defined by a co-ownership contract.

10 — Reservation

The future is limited.Reserve your place.

Express your interest with no commitment. Our team replies within 48 hours with a tailored capacity assessment.
