QuaTI

QuaTI is a Brazilian quantum computing startup co-founded by Felipe Fanchini and colleagues that develops technologies based on quantum information and quantum computing. The company leverages hybrid quantum-classical algorithms to predict extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall associated with natural disasters. QuaTI installed a rainfall data station in São Carlos, São Paulo to collect climate data for machine learning models. The startup partners with Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo to apply quantum computing to climate-related disaster prediction, drug development, genomics, and disease diagnosis. Felipe Fanchini is a professor at São Paulo State University (UNESP) and member of the FAPESP Program in Quantum Technologies coordination committee.
