LONDON — Delta Gold Technologies PLC (AQSE:DGQ) has officially entered the public markets, listing on the Aquis Growth Market to fund a radical new approach to quantum computing hardware. In a recent interview on The Watchlist, CEO Mike Jones detailed the company’s mission to move beyond laboratory-scale quantum demonstrations and toward a commercially viable, stable qubit.
A New Approach to the “Qubit Elusive”
While tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google have dominated headlines with quantum milestones, Jones argues that the fundamental “building block” of the industry—the qubit—is still far from perfect. Traditional quantum computers are notoriously fragile, requiring extreme environments to maintain stability.
“Everybody knows about bits in your basic computer—a zero and a one,” Jones explained. “A qubit is either a zero, a one, or something in between at the same time. It’s a very hard thing to get your head around… but the basic physics of what a qubit is going to be made from is still elusive.”
Delta Gold’s strategy hinges on nanoscale gold-based technology. By utilizing the unique physical properties of gold at the atomic scale, the company aims to host induced superconductivity, creating a more robust and scalable memory state for quantum processors.
Strategic Roadmap: The 18-Month Plan
Following a successful £2.5 million fundraise, the company has set clear measurable goals for its first two years as a public entity:
- Intellectual Property Protection: Over the next 12 months, the primary focus is on securing patent filings for their nanoscale innovations.
- Proof of Concept: By the 18-month mark, the company expects to advance its research toward a physical proof-of-concept device.
- Academic Collaboration: Central to this roadmap is a three-year research partnership with the University of Toronto.
“We have some of the smartest people in the world working on that very basic physics concept,” said Jones.
The project is led by Professor Harry Ruda, Director of the Centre for Advanced Nanotechnology at the University of Toronto. Ruda, a globally recognized authority who will chair the Global Conference on Quantum Computing in Switzerland this summer, provides Delta Gold with access to high-level expertise and specialized laboratory equipment that would be prohibitively expensive to build in-house.
Navigating the Multi-Billion Dollar Landscape
Despite competing in a space where “Big Tech” spends billions annually, Delta Gold sees a clear path for a lean, research-driven enterprise. Rather than attempting to build a complete mainframe computer from scratch, the company is positioning itself as an IP powerhouse.
“Creating a stable, scalable qubit could be enormously interesting to the bigger players,” Jones noted. The company’s business model focuses on licensing and partnerships, offering its core hardware breakthroughs to existing industry leaders who are already struggling with error correction and scalability.
With its market capitalization recently exceeding £10 million following its debut, Delta Gold Technologies is betting that a small company focusing on fundamental physics can provide the missing link in the global race for quantum supremacy.
