Lopez Codes: Embedded Solution Agreement - Permissions in the USA and Europe

Lopez.codes has received an Embedded Solution Agreement (ESA) as a Business Partner (BP) with IBM, ensuring the necessary permissions for the deployment of its technologies in the USA and Europe. This partnership is an important step in the ongoing collaboration between Lopez.codes and IBM, particularly in the field of quantum research and technology integration. A detailed summary of our contribution to the development of stable qubits and our work with IBM can be found here in German: Contribution to the IBM Quantum Open Science Prize 2022 - Stable Qubits for the Future of Quantum Computing. This agreement allows Lopez.codes to be seamlessly embedded into existing systems while fully considering the regulatory requirements of both regions. Two key aspects are particularly important:

Contribution to the IBM Quantum Open Science Prize 2022: Stable Qubits for the Future of Quantum Computing

In May 2022, Lopez.codes contributed significantly to IBM’s Quantum Open Science Prize, focusing on developing stable qubits, which are essential for the future of quantum computing. The main challenge in this project was improving the stability and error resistance of qubits, which are notoriously delicate and susceptible to environmental noise. The work carried out by Lopez.codes aimed to solve stability issues by designing quantum error correction techniques and optimizing the physical and logical layers of qubits, thereby contributing to more reliable and efficient quantum systems.

Key Achievements:

• Developed improved stability mechanisms for quantum circuits, significantly reducing error rates in experimental setups.

• Focused on scalable quantum solutions that could be integrated into practical applications, laying the groundwork for more robust quantum computing.

• Demonstrated the potential for industrial and research applications of stable qubits, ensuring these technologies are ready for broader deployment.

The work at Lopez.codes highlight a forward-thinking collaboration with IBM, demonstrating a proactive approach to advancing quantum technologies and ensuring that quantum computing can move from experimental phases to practical, real-world scenarios.

1. Regulatory Permissions in the USA

• Compliance with US Regulations: The agreement will ensure that all technologies from Lopez.codes comply with applicable US regulations, particularly in the areas of data security, export controls, and AI ethics. This includes compliance with the cybersecurity guidelines of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and data protection monitoring regulations.

• Use of Embedded Technologies: Lopez.codes will possess the necessary licenses and permits to operate as a legitimate provider of embedded solutions in the USA. This includes all permissions for the use of AI algorithms and the further development of existing systems.

2. Regulatory Permissions in Europe

• GDPR Compliance: In Europe, the focus is on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to ensure that all personal data is processed following the strict data protection regulations of the EU. This protects user rights and ensures that all data protection requirements are met.

• Integration into European Infrastructures: Lopez.codes will create the necessary legal conditions to integrate technologies within Europe that meet both technological requirements and legal compliance. This includes collaboration with national regulatory authorities as well as meeting the interoperability requirements across different EU member states.

3. Benefits of the Embedded Solution Agreement

• Expanded Market Accessibility: The bp Embedded Solution Agreement allows Lopez.codes to legally integrate its technologies into other systems in the USA and Europe. This increases market reach and enables the development of innovative products.

• Legal Security and Trust: By obtaining all necessary legal permissions, not only is the use of the technology simplified, but also trust is built between partners, customers, and regulatory authorities.

Lopez.codes lays the foundation for smooth international expansion with this agreement and ensures that all embedded solutions are secure, GDPR-compliant, and legally sound. The focus is on providing partners with both flexibility and security while driving innovation forward.

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance is essential for any organization handling the personal data of individuals in the European Union. Here are the key requirements for GDPR compliance:

1. Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: Data must be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner.

2. Purpose Limitation: Data should be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes.

3. Data Minimization: Only data that is necessary for the intended purpose should be collected and processed.

4. Accuracy: Personal data must be accurate and kept up to date.

5. Storage Limitation: Data should be kept in a form that permits the identification of data subjects for no longer than necessary.

6. Integrity and Confidentiality: Data must be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

7. Accountability: Organizations must be able to demonstrate compliance with these principles

Lopez Codes & IBM: Pioneering Quantum Computing Together

The collaboration between Lopez.codes and IBM represents a significant step forward in the development of pioneering quantum technologies. Together, we are working to unlock the full potential of quantum computers to solve complex problems and drive innovation across various fields.

Milestones of the Partnership:

• 2022: Participation in the IBM Quantum Open Science Prize, with a focus on developing stable qubits.

• 2023: it.lopez-be.ch, the original parent company of Lopez.codes, becomes an IBM Business Partner. Since then, it has benefited from training and cooperation with IBM, fostering a fair partnership that enhances knowledge-sharing and strengthens innovation on both sides.

• 2024: Integration of the stable qubit developed by Lopez.codes into the Azure Quantum platform.

• 2025: Further research in the fields of quantum and cloud computing is also scheduled to advance the capabilities and scalability of quantum technology.
