Sharad Bachani
Founder, Merlin Digital
Leads Merlin Digital and the Merlin Quantum programme from Dubai.
Company
The quantum applications division of Merlin Digital.
Merlin Quantum builds and runs hybrid quantum-classical pipelines for industrial clients, and checks every result against the method the client uses today. Headquartered in Dubai.
What we believe
Industry does not need more quantum promises. It needs to know, before committing money, which option wins, and whether quantum is the reason. We built Merlin Quantum to answer that question honestly, on the hardware that exists today.
UAE presence
Engagements are run by our Dubai team, with Arabic-language documentation on request. We deliver to government and critical-infrastructure clients under the region's data-residency requirements.
