SEALSQ Quantum Fund Portfolio Company EeroQ Demonstrates Breakthrough in Autonomous Quantum Computing Labs Using NVIDIA Ising

Geneva, Switzerland, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or “Company”), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today highlights a major milestone achieved by its Quantum Fund portfolio company EeroQ, which has successfully demonstrated the future of autonomous quantum computing laboratories in collaboration with Conductor Quantum and NVIDIA.

The breakthrough, announced today, integrates EeroQ’s electron-on-helium quantum hardware, Conductor Quantum’s AI-driven orchestration platform, and NVIDIA’s newly released Ising quantum AI models, creating a functional prototype of a self-operating quantum lab.

This pioneering system enables quantum experiments to be executed, monitored, and optimized autonomously using natural language prompts, marking a significant leap toward scalable and practical quantum computing.

Accelerating the Path to Scalable Quantum Computing

In the demonstrated setup, NVIDIA’s Ising models were directly connected to EeroQ’s quantum processor, allowing AI agents to run iterative experiments, adjust parameters in real time, and analyze results on live hardware.

The system successfully executed advanced quantum protocols, including electron manipulation and detection, validating the ability of AI to control and optimize quantum processes with minimal human intervention.

“Building a scalable quantum computer demands speed, and AI is one of the most powerful tools we have to get there,” said Nick Farina, CEO and Co-founder of EeroQ. “This demonstration is just the beginning of what’s possible when combining AI with next-generation quantum hardware.”

AI as the Operating System of Quantum Machines

The innovation builds on NVIDIA’s Ising platform, the world’s first open-source family of AI models specifically designed to address critical quantum computing challenges such as processor calibration and error correction. These models can significantly accelerate development timelines by improving performance and automation in quantum systems.

By embedding AI directly into experimental workflows, the collaboration demonstrates how machine intelligence can move from assisting researchers to actively driving scientific discovery.

Strategic Importance for SEALSQ Quantum Fund

As a portfolio company of the SEALSQ Quantum Fund, EeroQ represents a key strategic investment in next-generation quantum computing architectures. Its unique approach, leveraging electrons on helium and compatibility with CMOS fabrication, positions it as a scalable and capital-efficient alternative in the global race toward practical quantum systems.

This milestone reinforces SEALSQ’s commitment to supporting disruptive technologies that converge quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and semiconductor innovation, forming the foundation of future secure and intelligent digital infrastructure.

Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ noted, “EeroQ’s breakthrough represents a major step toward autonomous quantum computing. By combining AI with quantum hardware in collaboration with NVIDIA, they are accelerating the path to scalable, real-world quantum systems. At SEALSQ, this milestone reinforces our vision that AI and quantum technologies together will define the next generation of secure trusted digital infrastructure.”

Toward Autonomous Scientific Discovery

The emergence of autonomous quantum labs signals a paradigm shift in how scientific research is conducted. By combining AI with quantum hardware, researchers can dramatically accelerate experimentation cycles, reduce operational complexity, and unlock new frontiers in physics, materials science, and cryptography.
