In a hyperconnected digital world, trust is critical and QNu Labs is enhancing that trust with its flagship products—a quantum key distribution and a post-quantum cryptography software.

Sunil Gupta points out that online transactions have exploded in India in the last five years. And, in the coming five years, he anticipates a convergence of multiple technologies, including 5G wireless, artificial intelligence, robotics, connected vehicles and blockchain.
“In this hyperconnected digital world, trust will be critical,” he says.
That’s the problem that QNu Labs, co-founded by Gupta, Mark Mathias, Anil Prabhakar and Srinivasa Rao Aluri in 2016, set out to solve. They work in the area of quantum computing, which involves “qubits” that, unlike the classical computing bits, can have values of either zero or one, can have those values simultaneously or even values in between, in the realms of quantum physics.
Scientists expect quantum computers to make child’s play out of some very complex problems that even the most powerful classical computers can’t solve.
