About us

We're all about making hardware development faster, more efficient, and more sustainable.

As such, our team consists of people passionate about using technology to make an impact 

We write top-notch code, state-of-the-art algorithms, conduct world-leading research, drink first-rate coffee and come up with awe-inspiring hyphenations.

Mission & vision

We're working towards a future where hardware development is a breeze with automatic testing, simulations, and optimization happening behind the scenes.

History lesson

Before Quanscient got started, we saw a glaring deficiency in the performance of simulation platforms.

In fact, our CTO, Dr. Alexandre Halbach, had already been solving this problem for eight years by developing a performant and modern set of algorithms.

But an algorithm library, no matter how advanced, is not a product and therefore remains inaccessible for most due to the steep learning curve and purely code-based access.

With Alexandre’s expertise combined with our other co-founders’ Dr. Valtteri Lahtinen’s quantum expertise, Asser Lähdemäki’s cloud development skills, and Juha’s background in the software business, we knew we had the perfect combination of skills to create a new simulation service.

Indeed, everything was set to create a revolutionary simulation platform that will truly take advantage of cloud scaling to speed up the solutions and make them more accurate.

We founded Quanscient in the September of 2021 and have since grown the team to 18 awesome professionals, with the first version of the product launched in late 2022.

Of course, this was just the beginning, as new releases of .allsolve are rolling out while our quantum team is continuing to conduct spearhead quantum research.
