1
PQC Benchmarking & Migration Readiness Service
Quantify PQC performance/security tradeoffs for real workloads.
HPC for scale
Quantum for risk framing
Cyber for governance
Outputs
- Algorithm performance dashboards (latency / CPU / GPU cost)
- Protocol handshake benchmarks (TLS, VPN, signing)
- Migration playbooks and "safe defaults"
2
Quantum Circuit Supply-Chain Security & Provenance
Treat quantum circuits and results like high-value software artifacts.
Controls
- Signed artifacts
- Immutable logs and experiment lineage
- Controlled publishing and sharing
- Auditing of who executed what, where (simulator vs QPU)
Alignment: Naturally aligns with cloud-native CI/CD, logging/SIEM integration patterns.
3
Hybrid Optimization for Cyber Operations
Explore quantum-inspired or hybrid approaches for hard optimization problems in cyber:
- Resource allocation
- Scheduling
- Detection threshold tuning
- Incident response planning under constraints
- Graph problems (attack paths, segmentation planning)
Note: Even when quantum advantage is not proven, the research is publishable
and can yield quantum-inspired classical heuristics that run well on HPC.
4
Secure Multi-Tenant Research Environments
Allow external researchers / partners to run workloads while maintaining strong security boundaries.
Key Elements
- Namespace / project isolation
- Network policies / microsegmentation
- Centralized logging + anomaly detection, SIEM integration
- Reproducible environments (images / containers)
- Cost / usage accounting
Strategic value: This is a "platform product" that accelerates both science and industrial collaboration.
