Challenges we work on

AI & Data

PHOENIQS × Sunrise

Swiss companies want to use AI productively without losing control over their data. PHOENIQS provides the AI platform and infrastructure behind the Sunrise Business AI Assistant, developed, hosted and operated in Switzerland. No data leaves the country, and customer data is not used to train the models.

Moonlight AI: The Path to One-Hour Blood Cancer Diagnosis

Moonlight AI, QuantumBasel and the University of Basel developed AI methods for detecting rare blood cells: more robust, with five times fewer trained parameters, and ready for quantum algorithms in the future.

Production scheduling with quantum annealing

Pfizer, QuantumBasel and D-Wave tested hybrid quantum-classical optimisation for production scheduling at Pfizer's Freiburg site, cutting the schedule by around two thirds compared with the reference solution.

Media Database Solution

SMD, the Swiss media archive founded in 1996 by Ringier, Tamedia and Swiss public broadcasting, needed a secure and scalable home for millions of documents. PHOENIQS delivered an OpenStack platform in sovereign Swiss data centres and reduced search indexing times from weeks to hours.

Optimising HVAC Network Design with Quantum Computing

VINCI Energies, QuantumBasel and D-Wave tested a hybrid quantum-classical approach to designing HVAC duct networks. In this proof of concept, based on one representative building plan, the solution outperformed the existing method on all performance metrics, with 27% shorter ducts.
THE PATH

From challenge to

scalable solution

Challenge intake

An organisation brings a concrete challenge. Together, we sharpen it until it is precise enough to work on.

Translation workshop

A Business need becomes technical question. We clarify what the challenge requires, whether quantum computing or AI is the right approach, and what success would look like.

Matchmaking & design

We bring together the partners with the right technology and expertise, and design the project with them: scope, roles and success criteria.

Sandbox & pilot

The solution is tested under real conditions, with access to the campus infrastructure where it helps. Once it proves its value, the path to scale begins.
