The journey to harnessing quantum logic for maritime applications began in 2017 when Jason Turner, Chairman and CEO of Entanglement, founded the AI quantum computing company. Initially, the focus was on developing hardware for quantum computing, but Turner soon shifted his attention to quantum logic and algorithms that could be applied to existing computer technologies.
By leveraging non-classical computer technologies such as graphics processing units, quantum annealers, simulated annealers, photonic computers, and acoustic computers, Entanglement's team is able to create systems that are 'quantum ready', meaning they can work with quantum computers using quantum-level encryption. However, the lack of sufficient qubits to provide answers at scale remains a significant challenge.
The company's focus on quantum logic has allowed it to develop unique capabilities that are well-suited for maritime applications, which often require real-time situational awareness. Turner emphasizes that 'you don't need a quantum computer to do quantum logic,' highlighting the versatility of this approach.
In January, Entanglement completed its acquisition of Applied Ocean Sciences (AOS), a leading ocean science and ocean acoustics company with expertise spanning environmental science, maritime operations, and large-scale sensing and modeling. The acquisition has enabled the creation of Maritech Intelligence Systems, which launched with two foundational product platforms: MIST and MADEN.
MIST is a living digital twin of the world's oceans that fuses remote sensing, in-situ sensors, and quantum-logic-enabled AI to deliver real-time maritime awareness, prediction, and targeting. MADEN, on the other hand, is a resilient, distributed edge intelligence network developed from years of operational ocean sensing and communications experience.
Together, MIST and MADEN form a unified maritime intelligence stack that supports a rapidly expanding set of high-value applications, including ocean sustainability, detection of pollution events, and maritime safety. The systems can be operated on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to enable secure, scalable, and compliance-capable global operability.
Maritech represents the culmination of years of deep domain expertise in ocean acoustics, oceanography, and environmental science combined with next-generation AI powered by Entanglement's Quantum Logic Core. The company is delivering maritime intelligence capabilities that were once thought to be computationally unreachable.
The team behind Maritech has been applying quantum-AI technology to various applications, including predicting visibility at sea for seafarers and developing user interfaces that enable users to chat with MIST like a person. This approach enables non-experts to utilize the system without requiring advanced computer science knowledge.
Entanglement's approach is transforming the field of maritime intelligence by harnessing the power of quantum logic to extract meaning from complex data sets. The company's focus on delivering trusted intelligence for those who must act decisively in a time that truly matters is revolutionizing the way we approach oceanic challenges.
