Quantum error correction
The machine dies of noise.
Codes, decoding, and the ugly arithmetic of keeping the jobs away from errors. This is the bottleneck. We treat it like opportunity.
Om Labs · Quantum computing
Research & developmentThe hard part of quantum
is still the computer.
We are a lab working the unsolved stack: materials, error correction, photons, and learning. Not a product company. The problems that have to yield before a quantum computer can hold.
Research
Five problems. One stack.
We are in R&D. These are the surfaces we live on — the science that has to move before a useful quantum computer exists.
Photonic quantum computing
Light as the compute medium.
Photons, interferometers, and architectures that might scale. A path toward a machine that does not have to live in a dilution fridge forever.
Quantum materials & chemistry
Matter, as it actually is.
Electronic structure, energetics, and materials that classical methods only approximate. Molecules, materials, chemistry that can help humanity and the planet.
Quantum machine learning
Learn only what is real.
Kernels, variational models, Qunatum Neural Networks, hybrid learners — always against an honest classical baseline. If the quantum part does not earn its keep, we say so.
AI & ML
Classical intelligence, in service of quantum and vice versa.
Simulation, search, control, and the models that help us see a quantum problem more clearly. And in reverse, quantum helping classical AI predict with accurate data produced by quantum hardware not approximations.
Experiments
Work that already ran.
Recreations first. Hardware last. Methods public when we can stand behind them.
OptimizationRecreation · hardware stamped
Railway rolling stock planning
Hybrid MWIS + QAOA recreation of the IQM × Deutsche Bahn rolling-stock problem: 190 trips, conflict-graph cycles, empty-kilometre objective, classical/sim first, IBM Runtime last.
ChemistryRecreation · hardware stamped
FLiBe fusion blanket chemistry
ORNL × Cleveland Clinic × IBM recreation: tritium energetics in FLiBe molten salt via EWF embedding and fragment SQD — fusion-blanket chemistry on a quantum computer.
Open work
What we can show, we show.
Public recreations and experiments — same seriousness as the private work, without anyone else's edge.
“A useful quantum computer is still blocked by problems nobody has stayed with long enough. That is where we start.”
Om Labs · Founding principle
Founder
The book opened a door. The unsolved stack kept me.
Om Labs is one person inside the problems that still stand between us and a quantum computer that holds.
Two years ago I read the book 'Quantum Supremacy' by Michio Kaku. The problems it named got into me — and the harder ones, the ones between us and a machine that actually holds, have not let go.
Why I started Om Labs
In 2024 December, I picked up 'Quantum Supremacy' by Michio Kaku. I was not looking for a company. I was looking for a problem I could not put down. But A year passed and no real work produced by me. So Early 2026 I jumped into it. The first feeling was appetite. Medicines we cannot design. Materials we cannot see. Questions sitting just past what any classical machine can finish. I wanted in. Then the second feeling arrived, and it was heavier. To get there we need quantum computers that stay coherent — that do not drown in their own noise. Decoherence. Error rates that eat the answer. Photons that vanish. Materials that refuse to behave. That gap is not a pitch deck. It is a pile of unsolved, human-scale problems. I felt the weight of them. I still do. I started Om Labs to live inside that stack. Curious. Unsentimental. Working on it now.

If you are in the same problem, let's talk.
Quantum or any scientific Researchers, builders, people in STEM. Thirty minutes. Deep talks that compounds our brains.
A conversation about a hard quantum problem or a problem to be solved with quantum — not a sales call.
