Innovative technology ideas inspired by a tiny world of wonder.
Spinsphere is a New Zealand quantum technology company providing post-quantum security solutions, delivering bitesize quantum insights, and researching and developing unique and novel quantum computing applications
Bitesize Quantum Insights with Informaq
Staying on top of quantum technology is overwhelming. Informaq delivers curated, easy-to-digest updates from research, patents, and industry developments—directly to the channels you already use.
Kaysec is Spinsphere's global post-quantum cryptography (PQC) security brand, helping organisations worldwide prepare for the quantum threat. With NIST's first PQC standards finalised (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) and Five Eyes nations setting 2030–2035 migration deadlines, the time to act is now.
We provide PQC readiness assessment, migration strategy, implementation services, and advisory — backed by open-source tooling and published research. From NZ-based critical infrastructure to global enterprises, Kaysec delivers practical, standards-aligned quantum-safe security solutions.
Keeping up with quantum technology is becoming increasingly difficult. Every day, new research papers, patents, partnerships and announcements appear, but sorting through it all takes time most people don't have.
Informaq helps solve this challenge. It gathers and summarizes the latest quantum computing and technology developments into concise, AI generated "QuBytes," translated into multiple languages and shared across familiar platforms such as LinkedIn, Reddit, email and Slack, Teams, Facebook and BlueSky.
Designed to make discovery effortless, Informaq lets you personalize and customize your information feed to match your interests, whether that's research, patents, events or general news. Each QuByte includes verifiable links to original sources and trust based scoring to help you gauge credibility at a glance.
By removing language barriers, filtering noise and presenting high quality insights in near real time, Informaq helps researchers, investors, educators and enthusiasts stay connected to what matters most. It's a clear, practical way to keep pace with the accelerating world of quantum technology, without getting lost in it.
Want to go deeper than a QuByte? Informaq Observer is a map of quantum computing built from what people actually claimed. Search a vendor, machine or algorithm, compare claims like for like, and follow every mark back to the passage it came from. It was developed after interviewing researchers and students in the quantum computing space, and it is still in beta.
Quagmire is an evolving edtech initiative dedicated to lowering the friction of getting into quantum computing and quantum information. Rather than jumping straight into complex circuit execution, Quagmire focuses on building deep conceptual intuition and bridging the gap to formal mathematics. Designed around established pedagogical research, the platform helps learners across all backgrounds demystify the core theory, math, and foundational principles driving the quantum revolution.
Intuition First, Formalism Powered
Quantum mechanics and quantum information are often gated by dense linear algebra and abstract notation. Quagmire translates foundational concepts—such as state vectors, superposition, entanglement, and measurement—into intuitive, visual mental models so you can comfortably navigate the abstract formalism.
Targeted Learning Pathways & 3D/VR Visualizations
Every learner’s journey into quantum is different. Quagmire explores innovative pathways using interactive 3D and VR visual styles to make complex mathematical structures spatial and accessible, helping you digest theoretical concepts before applying them on industry-standard software tools.
Grounded in Educational Science
Quagmire Academy leverages proven learning frameworks—including Self-Determination Theory, Cognitive Load Theory, adaptive instruction, and spatial contiguity—to eliminate fragmentation for self-paced learners. It’s an approach built by learners, for learners, designed to help you truly master quantum information.
Quantum Computing
There is a lot of overhype around the revolutions promised by quantum computing—in areas such as drug design, logistics optimization, machine learning, finance, material science, and simulating quantum systems—but the technology is still in its early stages in many respects.
Not getting caught up in the hype, we strongly believe that practically useful quantum computers will arrive soon. This belief is the primary inspiration and motivation behind our work at Spinsphere.
As part of this journey, we conduct R&D into quantum computing applications, including unique explorations at intersections with psitech. We also work with quantum-inspired algorithms and explore NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) approaches to deliver business value sooner, while we wait for truly fault-tolerant, scalable quantum computers to become a reality.
Not all random numbers are created equal. The quality of this so-called entropy (randomness) is becoming more important than ever before in many fields.
Entronet provides true, high quality and certifiable entropy sourced and processed from various quantum and other hardware random number generators.
Whether you are an artist, musician, researcher or someone in the gaming, IoT, finance, blockchain, gambling/lottery or cybersecurity industries or just somebody with needs who appreciates true vs. pseudo-randomness, Entronet provides easy methods for you to access it.
Kia ora LinkedIn. We’ve got something new to show you to mark the six anniversary since the launch of Informaq: Informaq Observer, now live in beta at https://informaq.observer QuBytes have been giving you bitesize quantum insights on research and news. But when we interviewed researchers and students working in quantum computing, they told us the…
Everything described here is open source: https://github.com/spinsphere/nz-quantum-election Every election, pundits argue about who will go into coalition with whom. This year I tried something different. Instead of asking who wants to govern together, I asked which combination of parties should, if the only things that counted were the published evidence on their policies, how far…
This weekend we made a game in 48 hours for the Global Quantum Game Jam 2026. The theme was quantum braiding. COHERENCE: Braid is a small civilization game with a twist: you do not build your civilization, you ask it questions, and you braid it. Your people are cohorts drawn as pairs of worldlines. Braiding…
For the past few years one of the rabbit holes I have been diving down is one called Quantum-Safe Security. It goes by, and gets referred to by a few different and related names floating out there but the one I opt for is Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). A future where “quantum computers can break today’s…
We are excited to launch Informaq, our quantum technology intelligence platform that aggregates, analyses, and summarises research, patents, news, and events from across the global quantum ecosystem. Keeping up with quantum technology is genuinely hard. Relevant developments are scattered across arXiv preprints, patent filings, conference proceedings, industry announcements, and government policy documents — published in…
We are launching Kaysec, Spinsphere’s post-quantum cryptography division, to help New Zealand organisations navigate the transition to quantum-safe security before it becomes urgent. The cryptographic standards underpinning today’s internet — RSA, ECDSA, ECDH — will be broken by a sufficiently capable quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm. NIST finalised its first post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024…
Today we are launching Entronet, Spinsphere’s entropy-as-a-service platform providing cryptographically strong, hardware-sourced random numbers via REST API and SDK. Randomness underpins almost every security primitive in use today — from key generation to nonce selection to token minting. The problem is that most software entropy comes from OS-level PRNGs that, under the right conditions, can…
We at Spinsphere are excited to announce that our spheres are now spinning! Our homepage has officially gone live. My journey began in 2002, during my university years, when professors introduced me to the theoretical and futuristic possibilities of quantum computing. At the time, it was a nascent field (and still is!), brimming with potential…
