Quside is a private technology company headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, that designs and manufactures quantum components for secure connectivity and high‑performance computing. The company specializes in quantum random number generation (QRNG) and related hardware, which are used to provide cryptographically secure randomness for cybersecurity, financial applications, computational simulations, and space applications.[1][2][3]
History
Quside was founded in 2017 as a spin‑off from the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona.[4] The company was established with the goal of developing scalable quantum random number generators at high rate and verifiable quality. In its early years, Quside concentrated on research and development and refining its underlying technology platform.[5]
In mid‑2023, Quside extended its Series A funding round, raising over €10 million[6][7] from a mix of national and international investors—including Trumpf Ventures[8][9], Bullnet Capital[8], Demium Capital, TechVision Capital, and the Catalan Institute of Finance (ICF)—to support further product development, production scaling, and international market expansion.[10][11]
Random number generation
The company specializes in the development of hardware random number generators that utilize quantum mechanical principles to generate true randomness. These quantum random number generators (QRNGs) are engineered for use in security-sensitive applications, including quantum key generation, post-quantum cryptography, and various domains of high-performance computing, such as Monte Carlo simulations and high-frequency trading.[2][12][13]
Quside's QRNG products have been certified by internationally recognized security standards (e.g. NIST SP800‑90B[14][15][16], Spanish's National Security Agency - ENS certification).[17]
