Why quantum

Complex diseases have no single cause. They develop across molecular, biological, genetic and environmental levels at once. Our proprietary methodology, built on hybrid quantum–classical computation, lets us examine those levels together — complex data interrogated in depth, not filtered through prescribed assumptions. This is what our methodology was designed to do.

Integrated insight across every level of disease
Quantum science

More precision. Less time. Fewer resources.

Our aim is to increase precision and reduce the time and resources spent both on discovering new therapies and on the treatment each patient receives. We do not only combine quantum and classical computation: we created our proprietary quantum-informed methodology for drug discovery.

01

Model creation

Models of molecules and of the biological targets they act on, built by combining quantum and classical computation.

Quantumcomputation Classicalcomputation 02

Hybrid quantum–classical

Quantum algorithms take the parts of a problem where classical approximations lose accuracy; classical computing handles the rest, in one workflow.

In silico testing

Candidate molecules are tested computationally before any laboratory work. Our methods extract new information from noisy data, so experiments start with the strongest candidates.

Proprietary methodology

Quantum-informed, built for drug discovery

A drug discovery methodology developed in-house: our own way of selecting, testing and prioritising candidate molecules, informed by quantum chemistry.

Precision

Fewer false leads

More precise early predictions, so laboratory effort goes to the candidates most likely to succeed.

Efficiency

Less time, fewer resources

Shorter discovery cycles and lower resource use through our proprietary modelling — from the first computation to the treatment given to the patient.

Compute platforms

Built across quantum and classical platforms.

Our proprietary algorithms are hardware-aware and portable. We know the limits of the physics and of the hardware, and we design every calculation to work within them.

Platform

Quantum processors

Quantum algorithms designed to be portable across processors.

Design

Hardware-aware methods

Noise, coherence and scale set what a quantum calculation can achieve. Our methods are built around those limits, not against them.

Classical

High-performance computing

Classical high-performance computing carries the parts of each workflow that do not need a quantum computer, at scale.

Solutions

Xpectra.

Xpectra is Xtocastiq’s discovery platform. It brings target and disease evidence, compound data, quantum computation and machine learning into a single interface, so each candidate is assessed in one place — from its biological target to its toxicity profile — with our proprietary algorithms working across quantum and classical computing.

01

Target and disease evidence

Biological targets and their links to disease, gathered in one view and connected to each candidate.

02

Compound library

Xtocastiq’s curated compound collections, built into the platform and kept in step with our ongoing research.

03

Quantum workspace

A built-in environment for building and running quantum calculations alongside classical ones, without leaving the platform.

04

Toxicity and machine learning

Hybrid quantum–classical toxicity assessment and machine-learning analysis, linked to the same candidate record.

Where quantum meets classical

We work with rigour to achieve precision.

Not every problem needs a quantum computer. Molecular questions, where classical approximations limit accuracy, go to quantum computation. Patient data, measured outside the clinic and at scale, goes to classical machine learning. We also run projects to build models and test molecules that may be candidates for specific patient sub-populations. Beyond our target diseases, we take on on-demand projects, using our platform to accelerate our partners’ discovery pipelines.

01

Quantum, for molecules

Molecular interactions are quantum by nature. We apply quantum computation, through our proprietary algorithms, wherever classical approximations lose precision — to design and test new therapies.

02

Classical, for patients

At the patient end, how biomarker information is processed matters as much as the data itself: it decides what clinicians can act on. Our trained machine-learning models are designed to turn each result into a meaningful signal.

03

One standard of rigour

Every result is first validated within a model we build, then validated again through in silico experiments. The same discipline applies whether the result concerns a molecule or a patient.
