The company began trading on AIM on Friday 4th April.
Quantum Base Holdings PLC, founded in 2013 as a spin-out from Lancaster University, has developed cutting-edge quantum-secure authentication tags known as Quantum Identities (Q-ID). These tags utilise quantum randomness at the atomic level, making them virtually unbreakable and impossible to replicate. The Q-ID tags can be applied to a wide range of products, including tax stamps, banknotes, pharmaceuticals and luxury goods, and can be verified using a smartphone.
