How Quantum Dice is Advancing Probabilistic Computing.

Quantum Dice, harnessing the quantum properties of light to solve some of today's most critical computational challenges, led by Dr Ramy Shelbaya, Dr Marko von der Leyen, and Dr Zhanet Zaharieva, secured a €2 Million grant from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator programme, with the project now officially underway following its October kick-off.

Quantum Dice, one of only 40 deep-tech start-ups across Europe, and among just three from the UK, was selected from 1,000 applicants for transformative funding. The grant will accelerate the development and commercialization of its probabilistic computing platform, powered by the ORBIT™ quantum-enabled processor, aimed at advancing probabilistic AI models and solving complex industrial optimization challenges.

Dr. Ramy Shelbaya, CEO and Co-founder of Quantum Dice, said the EIC Accelerator’s support validates the progress and transformative potential of the company’s probabilistic computing platform. He emphasized alignment with the EIC on the importance of developing next-generation computing hardware to address increasingly complex global challenges.

The EIC Accelerator, part of the EU’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme, supports start-ups and SMEs with innovative products, services, or business models capable of creating new markets or disrupting existing ones globally. Selected companies also gain access to coaching, mentoring, and connections with investors and corporates.

Quantum Dice’s probabilistic computing platform centers on its ORBIT™ quantum-enabled processor, powering the Lagrange 0 system. Using probabilistic bits (p-bits) that fluctuate between 0 and 1 with controllable probability, ORBIT™ executes complex probabilistic algorithms efficiently.

Patented high-speed, self-correcting quantum photonic sources of entropy make the platform scalable, reliable, and energy-efficient. Applications span supply chain and logistics, finance, telecom, energy, and next-generation probabilistic AI models.

The platform has gained international recognition, including as a winner of the World Economic Forum’s Quantum for Society Challenge, offering a path toward more energy-efficient, scalable computation while reducing costs and improving environmental outcomes.
