Maximum Independent Set — the flagship neutral-atom demonstration
Five sites, place as many non-interfering transmitters as possible. The canonical unit-disk MIS demo: blockade radius = interference radius, so geometry is the program. This is the worked example behind the whole platform.
Live demo — adiabatic sweep on 5 sites
Ω 9.4 · δ ±12.6 rad/µs · 4000 ns · R_b 9.1 µmFive candidate transmitter sites; any two within the blockade radius interfere. The adiabatic sweep drives the atoms to the largest non-conflicting set.
Start here in every first meeting. 'The problem isn't translated onto the machine — the machine's physics IS the problem. Watch the atoms settle into the answer, then watch a boring classical check confirm it. That check is why you can trust the quantum box.'
OGSM — product operating frame
Make a newcomer believe neutral-atom computing is real and trustworthy in under five minutes.
- Every first meeting ends with a run the prospect drove themselves
- Prospect can restate why blockade = constraint in their own words
- Lead with geometry-as-program, not qubits
- Show the classical verification step as the trust mechanism
- Offer to re-run on the prospect's own site coordinates
- Demos run per meeting
- % meetings converting to a scoped follow-up
OBR — outcome-based roadmap
| Horizon | Outcome we create | Buyer behavior change | Result we measure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Now | Prospect sees a verified quantum answer match brute force on their data | Prospect runs the emulated demo on their own instance data | Booked QPU-time evaluation or paid pilot |
| Next | Prospect brings a real 50–200 node instance to benchmark | Prospect co-designs a scoped benchmark against their incumbent solver | Documented crossover curve; expansion to production instances |
| Later | Prospect adopts MIS-as-a-service or buys a system | Prospect standardizes on the workflow or buys an on-prem system | Recurring QPU consumption / system sale; reference case |
The purest native fit: zero encoding overhead. Small instances verify classically by brute force (shown live) — that is the honesty gate, not a weakness.
