Spark Compass™ runs live quantum workloads today on two quantum computing platforms, IBM Quantum and IonQ, inside the patented Real-World Operating System that has governed physical-world data since 2012. Three demonstrators. Verifiable job records. One operating system that decides which problems go to the quantum computer and keeps every result sovereign.
The Spark Compass Real-World OS treats a quantum processor the way it treats any other resource in the network: as a governed co-processor that receives structured, sovereign data and returns a verified answer. The same applications run on either platform, and move onto owned hub capacity as each sovereign site comes online.
Spark Compass Qi, the Quantum Portfolio Split, was built for Spark Compass by IBM under the IBM Build partnership. Spark Compass owns the code. QAOA circuits written in Qiskit are built and sampled on IBM Quantum systems through a governed access key, with a classical solver running beside them on the same problem.
Qi materials and quantum system installations are subject to final approval by IBM.
Spark Compass integrated IonQ Quantum Cloud in October 2026. Both the Quantum-Safe Cyber Shield and the Quantum-Optimized Traveler Journey have run on IonQ's Forte trapped-ion computer, with every job reference recorded. All-to-all qubit connectivity runs the dense pairwise terms of the Spark Compass optimizations without extra routing gates.
IonQ is a trademark of IonQ, Inc. Spark Compass uses IonQ Quantum Cloud as a customer; no partnership or endorsement is implied.
Three real-world problems, each formulated inside the Spark Compass OS, each solved on a quantum computer, each checked against a classical answer on the same data. They are the first use cases of a pattern that extends to energy and water balancing, tourism pricing, racing strategy, fleet routing and sovereign security.
One hundred large-cap stocks are split into two baskets that move as independently as possible. The split is solved with QAOA quantum circuits sampled on IBM Quantum hardware, with a classical solver side by side on the same problem. The interface explains its own answer through a correlation heatmap, sector balance and measurement outcomes.
Live demonstration under NDA. Historical data only; not investment advice.
Sixteen qubits in superposition on IonQ's Forte computer generate the entropy that seeds every key. Five health tests structured on NIST SP 800-90B gate the seed; any failure rejects it. Records are then sealed with the NIST post-quantum standards, ML-KEM-768 and ML-DSA-65, alongside classical X25519 and AES-256-GCM. Built for Koprivnica-Križevci County, Croatia.

For every guest the OS solves two decisions with QAOA on IonQ: the best day from a set of experiences, weighing personal fit, live crowds and drive time, and an even flow of guests across time windows at flagship venues. Each quantum answer is checked against an exact classical solve of the same problem. Built for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia traveler journey program.

Every one of these problems is a graph. Classical machines approximate; the quantum run searches the full space.
Splitting sixty assets into two portfolios has 1.15 quintillion candidate answers. Exhaustive classical evaluation at one billion candidates per second takes on the order of 36,000 years. The Spark Compass Qi demonstrator, built with IBM, returned on IBM quantum hardware with live market data in about five minutes. The same combinatorial wall stands behind itinerary selection, crowd flow, energy dispatch and cyber-key scheduling. The Real-World OS routes those problems to the quantum computer and keeps the everyday work on the distributed AI data centers beside it.
| Assets | Candidate portfolios | Exhaustive classical | Quantum run | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 1.07 billion | about 1 second | about 1 second | 1× |
| 40 | 1.1 trillion | about 18 minutes | about 1 second | 1,000× |
| 50 | 1.13 quadrillion | about 13 days | about 2 minutes | 10,000× |
| 60 | 1.15 quintillion (2⁶⁰) | about 36,000 years | about 5 minutes | demonstrated with IBM |
| 100 | 1.27 × 10³⁰ | beyond classical computation | minutes | Qi, running now |
Planning-grade comparison for exhaustive search. Classical heuristics approximate at larger sizes; the quantum demonstrators are checked against exact classical solves at today's hardware scale. Quantum portfolio partitioning patent filed on Track One priority.
The demonstrators are commercial systems inside a live platform, not research toys. Access is granted by approval, in two tiers, so that every hardware run is accountable, every job reference is traceable, and every platform provider's terms are respected.
Approved parties receive access to the demonstrator interfaces and may run the workloads on the IBM Quantum and IonQ cloud simulators, including hardware-noise models, from the Spark Compass repositories.
Runs on the physical quantum computers, IBM Quantum systems and IonQ Forte, take place only in a live demonstration session with the founder present. Hardware time is purchased under Spark Compass accounts, and each job is recorded in the evidence register.
The form opens a pre-filled email to Spark Compass. Requests are answered personally.

Quantum only earns when it has real problems to solve and governed data to solve them with. Spark Compass builds that foundation first: right-sized AI infrastructure placed where people live, travel, heal and gather, running under one operating system. Quantum then joins the network as one more governed resource.


Illustrative renderings of factory-built AI pods and a regional hub campus.
Sells space, power and cooling by the kilowatt to one tenant on a long lease. Takes 24 to 36 months to build, draws grid-scale power and water, and never sees the data inside it.
Runs proven models and orchestrated agents on sovereign racks, pods and hubs, close to the data and the user. Factory-built pods reach service in about six months on a prepared pad, on pod-sized power with closed-loop or air cooling. The data stays on the owner's premises and in the owner's country.
An AI rack inside the building, a pod in the parking lot or a regional hub campus. One intelligence across all three, sized to the hotel, the clinic, the venue or the region it serves.
Every unit carries the Spark Compass operating system, fourteen years of deployed modules and orchestrated AI agents under a human conductor. Containers are the printer. Intelligence is the ink.
Pods in different cities share one control plane, so capacity is pooled and workloads move to where they run best. As better models are released, the same network runs them without new construction.

From the edge to the quantum hub: devices, on-premise racks, regional hubs, central control and the quantum core on one governed network.
Quantum is not a must. It is an option only Spark Compass can put on the table, because the network, the data and the problems are already there.
The Traveler Journey above is the proof: a decision the distributed network already makes for every guest, solved on IonQ's Forte quantum computer and matched against the exact optimum.
A quantum processor is a co-processor. It requires a classical AI control system and a governed data supply. The Spark Compass hubs are controlled by the distributed AI core beside them and installed into a network that already holds full ontology of the data they compute on, so the machine is useful the day it activates.
A quantum installation on land the company controls, built to the hardware supplier's facility specification: independent power, water cooling, physical isolation and a zero-vibration exclusion boundary. The supplier specifies, installs and commissions; the company provides and operates the site. Until the hubs come online, the same applications run on IBM Quantum and IonQ cloud capacity.
Workload orchestration, data ontology, provenance and lineage, governance enforced at the data, and the classical pre- and post-processing every quantum workload requires. This is the operator layer that turns a machine into infrastructure, and the layer that decides which problem goes to which processor.
Containerized regional hubs and on-premises racks manufactured to the company's specification. Local inference, IoT ingestion, sovereign storage. Seven containers ring the Puerto Rico hub; 300 edge racks and 30 regional hubs are specified for Croatia.
A semantic knowledge-graph foundation over incompatible source systems: ontology-aligned concepts, automated lineage harvesting, impact analysis, data-quality rules in motion, stewardship and change workflow. AI models are governed as first-class entities linked to the data that trained them, so every conclusion is explainable. Every extracted fact carries a disclosed confidence score; provenance is written to an immutable ledger for point-in-time audit. The quantum results inherit the same provenance: job reference, target, shots, timestamp.
For clients who use the hyperscalers, the network extends them. For clients who require 100 percent data sovereignty, the company builds the infrastructure separately: on-premises nodes, regional hubs and the quantum core, with no dependence on centralized hyperscale computation. The Spark Compass Quantum-Activated Real-World AI OS™ is patented, in continuous development since 2012, with 11 million lines of proprietary code and 120+ retained integration modules. Across sites, the QuantNET protocol (patent applications in preparation) coordinates hubs as one network; inter-site links are classical.
One architecture, one operating system, one commercial model across every site. Distributed AI carries the business first; quantum services activate as a new revenue tier on the same network without a rebuild beneath it. A fifth, orbital node is a stated forward plan.
