Two Hands Corp has opened a software‑only AI‑quantum research hub led by Ujjwal Roy, targeting AI orchestration software and hybrid optimization using cloud‑based quantum resources.

Context Two Hands Corp, a diversified UK‑based operator, announced an expansion of its existing artificial‑intelligence strategy. The new focus area sits at the intersection of AI and quantum computing, a field where software can leverage quantum processors without owning the hardware.

Key Facts - The initiative will be purely software‑driven; the company will not build or operate quantum hardware, cryogenic systems, or semiconductor fabs. Instead, it will access quantum processors through commercial cloud platforms. - Ujjwal Roy, Head of Strategy, says the effort will extend the firm’s AI program, concentrating on AI agent and orchestration software that can call third‑party quantum services. - Research will explore hybrid optimization, blending classical machine‑learning models with quantum compute to solve complex problems faster. - Internal prototypes will be built to test feasibility, performance, and potential enterprise use cases. - Hiring will target experts in software engineering, machine learning, and quantum information science.

What It Means By avoiding capital‑intensive hardware, Two Hands can allocate resources to software development and applied research, accelerating time to market. Leveraging existing quantum cloud services reduces upfront costs and mitigates technical risk, while still positioning the company in a niche where AI and quantum capabilities converge. The focus on orchestration software suggests a strategy to become a middleware provider, enabling other firms to integrate quantum compute into AI workflows without deep quantum expertise.

Future updates are promised as milestones are reached, including personnel hires, prototype results, and any commercial agreements. Watch for announcements on prototype performance and potential partnerships with cloud quantum providers.
