Sandbox AQ , the AI and quantum firm spin out of Google parent party Alphabet in 2022 , has acquiredGood Chemistry , a Vancouver - base quantum and computational chemistry inauguration , for an undisclosed sum .
Good Chemistry , founded by Arman Zaribafiyan in 2021 as a spin - off of quantum computing company 1QBit and backed by investor including Green Sands Equity and Accenture Ventures , offers cloud - base tools to accelerate material design . Good Chemistry ’s platform lets chemical science developers build chemical substance simulation apps and workflows using algorithms in quantum chemistry and machine learning as well as quantum computing .
In a public press release , Sandbox AQ VP Nadia Carlsten said that the learning will expand Sandbox ’s global mien in addition to adding “ proven technologies , ” include pretense technologies , and major customer ( such as Dow Chemical ) to its portfolio . young investors are a part of the deal , too — all of Good Chemistry ’s angel have unite Sandbox AQ ’s investor cornerstone , Carlsten lend .
“ Good Chemistry ’s software system and existing partnership will enable us to rapidly speed how we bring the benefits of advanced pretense and AI tools to more customers , ” Carlsten said . “ combine our capability will give Sandbox AQ an advanced and scalable computer science platform for extremely exact chemic simulation on a scale that prepare impactful role cases such as unexampled drug and textile deductive reasoning potential . ”
Sandbox AQ sees pretense as increasingly central to its work , which spans drug discovery and fabric design across the agricultural , defense , energy , medical and manufacturing sectors . With Good Chemistry , the company get ahead 25 computational and quantum chemists , AI and computer software locomotive engineer and quantum computing scientist skilled in leveraging simulation technical school ; tellingly , Zaribafiyan is joining Sandbox as head of product for computer simulation program while Good Chemistry ’s staff is assuming roles in Sandbox ’s exist simulation squad .
“ The rapid advances in AI , quantum , swarm and high - operation computing have unlocked eternal opportunity for companionship like Good Chemistry and Sandbox AQ to reinvent the way we imagine about alchemy , see ways to make mathematical product safer , stronger and more sustainable , and reshape the fabric of our world , ” Zaribafiyan said in a send away statement . “ [ Tapping ] the panoptic Sandbox AQ reach and domain of a function expertise will supercharge the capabilities of our weapons platform . ”
As part of the acquisition , Sandbox AQ say that it ’ll incorporate Good Chemistry ’s software , Qemist Cloud and Tangelo , into its endeavour software portfolio . Qemist rent users take advantage of quantum chemical science through computer simulation , while Tangelo allow them to conduct chemistry experiment across quantum swarm providers and hardware devices .
