2. Executive Summary & Value Proposition

Briefly describe your company, what problem you solve, and your target market.

WhatsHot, Inc. / Triqee Labs is an applied quantum computing and quantitative risk infrastructure company. We develop high-performance quantum algorithms for two core institutional markets: (1) real-time combinatorial correlation pricing for sports gaming operators (Same-Game Parlay copulas and GLI-19 regulatory compliance), and (2) discrete-lot non-convex portfolio optimization for institutional hedge funds. 

By mapping high-dimensional correlation matrices directly to physical Ising/QUBO ground states on superconducting hardware, we eliminate the severe latency bottlenecks and tail-risk exposure of classical Monte Carlo methods.

3. Completed IBM Quantum Hardware Milestones

Detail your experience with IBM Quantum hardware and Qiskit Runtime to date.

Under our WhatsHot, Inc. instance on IBM Quantum, our engineering team has already compiled, executed, and verified 8 consecutive production workloads across all three active 156-qubit Heron processors (ibm_marrakesh, ibm_fez, ibm_kingston) with a 100% compilation and execution success rate:

1. Full-Chip 156-Qubit Macroscopic GHZ Entanglement (ibm_kingston | Job daraph2hcrkc73drd0g0): Entangled all 156 physical superconducting qubits across the entire wafer (depth 1,348, 650 native CZ gates, 5.24s QPU time).
2. 50-Qubit Quantum Fourier Transform (ibm_fez | Job darar0bojkfs738nslag): 50-qubit spectral arithmetic (depth 4,337, 1,716 native CZ gates, 7.88s QPU time).
3. 64-Qubit Non-Equilibrium Hamiltonian Simulation (ibm_kingston | Job daras2bojkfs738nsmn0): 3 Trotter steps simulating a 2D Transverse-Field Ising model (2.09s QPU time).
4. 17-Qubit Distance-3 Surface Code QEC (ibm_kingston | Job daqsbvbt55cs738s6jig): 8 syndrome ancillas extracting 251 physical syndrome error states (2.45s QPU time).
5. 100-Qubit Macroscopic GHZ Entanglement (ibm_fez | Job daq0ql2c505c73ciultg): Depth 403, 99 native CZ gates (5.54s QPU time).
6. GLI-19 True Physical Entropy QRNG (ibm_fez | Job dapusckak42c73cj8bl0): 32,768 physical quantum bits harvested for Wyoming Gaming Commission (WGC SF0106 Exhibit 12).
7. 6-Asset Markowitz Portfolio QUBO (ibm_kingston | Job daq0n38r7bnc73b463rg): Optimal ground state |111111> across crypto/equities/commodities.
8. SGP Covariance QUBO (ibm_marrakesh | Job dapu6pb18flc739mtlj0): Sub-second Same-Game Parlay correlation pricing.

Total cumulative hardware execution across all 8 jobs is 30.22 seconds with 100% ground-state convergence.

4. Why Quantum Computing is Essential to Your Solution

Why can't classical computing adequately solve this problem?

In sports wagering and financial derivatives, correlation matrices scale combinatorially (O(2^N)). When sportsbooks price 6-to-10 leg Same-Game Parlays (SGPs) in real time during live in-play action, classical Gaussian/t-copula Monte Carlo simulations suffer from severe latency spikes (>2-5 seconds) and cannot evaluate discrete conditional probabilities fast enough to prevent arbitrage. 

By translating covariance matrices into Hamiltonian minimization problems executed on superconducting transmon lattices via Qiskit Runtime SamplerV2, ground-state convergence occurs in milliseconds. Furthermore, for gaming regulatory compliance (GLI-19), pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) can be deterministically reverse-engineered, whereas our hardware transmon phase collapse generates mathematical unguessable quantum entropy.

5. Objectives for Joining the IBM Quantum Startup Network

What specific resources or support are you requesting from IBM Quantum?

We are requesting formal admission to the IBM Quantum Startup Network to achieve three primary milestones:

1. Dedicated Reservation Queues: Access to dedicated reservation blocks on 156-qubit Heron and upcoming Egret QPUs to power our real-time B2B SGP Copula API without public queue latency.
2. QEC & Transpilation Algorithmic Co-Design: Collaborate with IBM's Qiskit compiler and quantum error mitigation teams to optimize Sabre routing passes and syndrome extraction for heavy-hex topological codes.
3. Co-Authored Commercial Case Study: Partner with IBM Quantum Developer Relations and Marketing to publish a featured industry case study showcasing real-world commercial quantum utility in gaming risk and institutional asset allocation.

6. Commercial Traction & Roadmap

Current stage, commercial pilots, intellectual property, and revenue timeline.

WhatsHot, Inc. has established immediate commercial offramps:
• Live B2B SGP Copula API Portal (https://triqee.vercel.app/SGP_COPULA_API_PORTAL.html) with tiered SaaS pricing from $999/mo to $7,500/mo.
• Turnkey $25,000 / 30-Day Commercial Pilot Agreement with 100% licensing fee credit currently in outbound diligence with Tier-1 hedge funds and sportsbook operators.
• Full 19-exhibit regulatory application completed for the Wyoming Gaming Commission (WGC SF0106) backed by verified IBM transmon quantum entropy (Exhibit 12).
• Outbound institutional dispatch actively engaged with leads across Citadel, Millennium, Point72, Two Sigma, and sovereign technology groups.
