The Quantum Leap is not something we talk about. It is really happening now.
For a long time, Quantum Sensing has been stuck on optical tables. Now, organizations like QUBIZ.team and TECNALIA Quantum Technologies are taking Quantum Sensing out into the world. We’ve signed an agreement to use this technology to solve some of the most critical problems humanity is facing.
We are not just talking about ultra-precision. We are talking about seeing the invisible to change very important areas:
💧 WATER (the purity challenge) We want to make drinking water safe for everyone. We are identifying molecules like PFAS (“Forever chemicals”) at ppt (parts per trillion) levels. The Impact: Securing the “One Health” ecosystem by enabling real-time monitoring that sets new global standards in water security.
🏥 HEALTH (the oncology revolution) Introducing nano-sensors to detect latent micrometastases currently invisible to clinical imaging. The Impact: Drastic acceleration of drug discovery (reduction of false positives) by obtaining real functional data in preclinical stages.
🏭 INDUSTRY (The “blind spot” challenge): We are solving “sensor blindness” in extreme industrial drying processes (high heat & humidity) where standard electronics fail. We are designing quantum sensors to monitor thermodynamics in real-time. The Impact: Unlocking energy efficiency in heavy industry and drastically reducing the carbon footprint.
⚡ ENERGY (the Smart Grid future): We are making the sensors of the future electric grid. The Impact: Maximizing grid capacity and reliability to power the electrification of industry (in Euskadi and beyond).
And yet more to come.
The lab work is (always) underway. But now, it is time for that work to have an impact and make a difference.
This is true Deep Tech shared value.
