A qubit is probabilistic.
Your evidence can't be.
Quantum hardware is inherently probabilistic — but the software around it, the verification of its output, and the cryptography that has to survive it cannot be. We serve the quantum domain two ways, both software : the classical control, orchestration, and deterministic verification that makes a quantum result defensible, and post-quantum-cryptography migration that moves you to quantum-safe algorithms before « harvest-now, decrypt-later » becomes a breach. Anchored on Heisen. Sovereign, Canada-built.

Black-box steps in the verification path
Six exposures the quantum era opens.
Quantum risk is split : the near-term threat is to today's cryptography, and the near-term opportunity needs software discipline quantum research rarely has. The exposures below are what deterministic software addresses. Every Maxor engagement in this domain addresses them explicitly.
Harvest-now, decrypt-later
An adversary captures encrypted data today and decrypts it when a quantum computer can break RSA / ECC. Long-lived secrets are already exposed. PQC migration is not a future task — the clock started when the data was first transmitted.
Crypto-agility gap
Most systems hard-code their cryptography — swapping algorithms means a rebuild. Without crypto-agility, the PQC transition is a multi-year scramble. Software designed to swap algorithms cleanly turns it into a configuration change.
Irreproducible quantum result
A probabilistic quantum output that can't be classically verified or reproduced isn't a result — it's noise with a hopeful interpretation. Deterministic verification on Heisen turns quantum output into evidence you can defend.
Calibration + drift
Quantum hardware drifts constantly — a result is only as trustworthy as the calibration behind it. Calibration-data software tracks the state of the machine against every run, so the result carries its provenance.
Vendor + platform lock-in
Quantum platforms are young and divergent. Orchestration software bound to one vendor's SDK is a bet on a single horse. A clean abstraction layer keeps the classical workflow portable across quantum backends.
Data sovereignty
Quantum-adjacent workloads + the secrets PQC protects are strategic. Sovereign Canadian deployment keeps the compute + the keys in-jurisdiction, on hardware you control — not in an opaque foreign quantum cloud.
Two lanes. Quantum-adjacent software and PQC.
There's no hardware engagement for us in quantum — we don't build qubits. We serve the domain through software : the classical layer around quantum systems, and the cryptographic migration the quantum era forces. Six concrete fits.
Post-quantum-cryptography migration
Migration to NIST quantum-safe algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) — inventory the cryptography in use, prioritize by exposure, and swap to PQC with crypto-agility built in. Before harvest-now-decrypt-later matures.
Crypto-agility architecture
Software architected so the cryptographic algorithm is a configuration, not a hard-coded dependency — the next migration (PQC, or whatever follows) becomes a swap, not a rebuild.
Deterministic result verification
Classical verification of probabilistic quantum output on Heisen — reproducible, audit-trailed, explainable. Turns a quantum run into a result you can defend instead of a number you have to trust.
Control + orchestration software
Classical control + job-orchestration software for hybrid quantum-classical workflows — vendor-abstracted, so the workflow stays portable across quantum backends instead of locked to one SDK.
Calibration-data + provenance platform
Tracks the quantum machine's calibration state against every run — so each result carries the provenance of the hardware that produced it, audit-trailed and recallable.
Sovereign quantum-adjacent infrastructure
Quantum-adjacent compute + the keys PQC protects deployed on sovereign Canadian infrastructure — in-jurisdiction, on hardware you control. Heisen embeds by API into your existing stack.
Quantum in the field
From sector context to the lifts we engineer — a look at where this work happens.
The standards we build to.
Our deliverable is software, so the standards are the ones a quantum-safe transition is measured against. Every build is designed to satisfy them from the first commit.
ML-KEM (key encapsulation)
The NIST standard for module-lattice key-encapsulation (formerly Kyber). Our PQC migration builds to FIPS 203 for quantum-safe key exchange.
ML-DSA + SLH-DSA (signatures)
The NIST standards for quantum-safe digital signatures (ML-DSA / Dilithium, SLH-DSA / SPHINCS+). Our software builds to them for signature migration.
Stateful hash-based signatures
NIST guidance for stateful hash-based signatures (LMS / XMSS) — relevant for firmware + long-lived signing. Referenced where the migration path calls for it.
Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite
The NSA's quantum-resistant algorithm suite + migration timeline. Referenced for builds serving national-security-adjacent or defense customers.
Quantum-safe migration guidance
Emerging ISO/IEC guidance on cryptographic-agility + quantum-safe transition. Our crypto-agility architecture is built to align as the standards finalize.
Cryptographic module validation
The validation standard for cryptographic modules. Where a PQC build must run in a validated module, we design to the FIPS 140-3 boundary.
One pillar of four. Software, full stop.
Quantum is a software-only domain. Three of the four pillars don't apply — and we say so. The fourth is the entire story.
Sealed plans + emergency response
Not applicableNot applicable. Quantum has no crane lifts — the engagement is software + cryptography. Lift planning isn't part of this domain.
Distribution + training + implementation
Not applicableNot applicable. CRANEbee simulates multi-crane operations — none exist in a quantum lab. No crane, no simulation.
Distribution + advisory + training
Not applicableNot applicable. There's no heavy-material handling here for Murlink to serve. The engagement is purely software — no rigging.
Deterministic engineering platform
The entire engagement. Heisen deterministic compute for verifying probabilistic quantum output, plus custom software for PQC migration, crypto-agility, control + orchestration, and calibration. Sovereign, Canada-built. Heisen embeds into your existing stack by API.
Quantum-era software, built to be verified.
In quantum, the custom build is the whole engagement — anchored on Heisen. We build deterministic, audit-grade software : same engineering posture, same team from kickoff to go-live, sovereign by default. Verification you can defend and a cryptographic transition that doesn't become a multi-year scramble. Engineered in Canada, owned by you.
Heisen — our deterministic intelligence layer — is optional on any build: embed it or not, your call. Either way it plugs into a fresh custom app or your existing third-party software via API.
PQC migration + crypto-agility platform
Inventories your cryptography, prioritizes by exposure, and migrates to NIST quantum-safe algorithms with crypto-agility built in — so the next transition is a configuration change, not a rebuild.
Heisen deterministic verification engine
Classical verification of quantum output on Heisen — reproducible, audit-trailed, explainable. The result re-runs to the same verification, so it survives scrutiny.
Vendor-abstracted orchestration + sovereign deploy
Control + orchestration software portable across quantum backends, deployed on sovereign Canadian infrastructure — no vendor lock-in, keys + compute in-jurisdiction.
