Beyond cybersecurity, SandboxAQ operates across quantum simulation, quantum sensing, and AI-driven scientific research. The company maintains an education division that partners with universities to develop curricula, residency programs, and PhD sponsorships in AI and quantum-related disciplines. It also operates SandboxAQ Academy, an open educational platform for AQ-related content. The company is backed by investors including T. Rowe Price, Eric Schmidt (who serves as Chairman), Breyer Capital, Guggenheim Partners, Marc Benioff, and Paladin Capital Group. Its academic advisors include prominent figures from Stanford University, MIT, and leading European research institutions.
