Quantum thesis
SEALSQ designs secure-element semiconductors and is building a post-quantum cryptography product line to protect connected devices once quantum computers can break current public-key schemes. Like Arqit, the angle is defense against quantum rather than building one, but SEALSQ ships physical chips rather than software keys.

NVIDIA does not build quantum computers but supplies the GPU-based simulation and hybrid-classical infrastructure used by nearly every serious quantum hardware team. CUDA-Q is its platform for hybrid quantum-classical workloads and increasingly co-located GPU+QPU systems. Treat NVDA as a picks-and-shovels exposure rather than a direct quantum bet.
