Who signs.
Nicholas Iakl Freundlich — founder of Rosetta Quantum.
Every verdict this firm publishes carries a named author, because a referee you can’t name isn’t a referee. Today that name is mine: I design the protocols, run or commission the experiments, and sign the decision pages. Where specialists contribute, they are named on the report they touched.
I am not a quantum physicist. That is the point: everything here is designed so you don’t have to trust me — criteria pre-registered before the run, data sealed and hash-anchored, results you can recompute yourself. The referee’s authority lives in the protocol, not in the referee.
Why this exists.
I am a serial founder, not a physicist — I built Sumeria, an applied-AI company, and Sigo, an evidence platform for biomedicine. Sigo is where this firm was born: working with medical evidence teaches you that the cost of a false positive is not a bad quarter — it’s patients. Medicine solved this problem decades ago: pre-registration, sealed protocols, independent review, and a discipline called GRADE for grading how much a piece of evidence deserves to be believed. Quantum computing — a field selling its future to pharma, banks and grids — has none of that infrastructure. Rosetta Quantum is that infrastructure: pre-registered criteria, sealed runs, published outcomes win or lose, and an evidence scale (EL0–EL5) adapted from GRADE.
We have run five sealed evaluations across five industries — drug discovery, portfolio optimization, grid planning, fraud detection, fluid dynamics — always with the strongest classical baseline on the same field. The quantum side hasn’t won yet. When it does, the win will be worth believing, and that is the point.
The rules we bind ourselves to.
- The Two-Layer Rule. Judgment is paid for by those who rely on it — corporates, funds, research teams. Never by the vendors being evaluated. Anyone may use the sealing infrastructure, which notarizes integrity, not truth.
- Published win or lose. Our own experiments run under the same protocol and publish under the same rules. Our own quantum arm currently scores EL1 — you can read its negative result in the ledger.
- Errata in public. When we are wrong, we say so in a sealed, hash-anchored erratum. The record cannot be rewritten — including by us. There are four errata in the ledger today; one retracts three of our own claims.
- Conflicts. If a conflict of interest arises on an engagement — a prior relationship, a financial stake, anything that could bend a verdict — it is disclosed on the report itself, and where disclosure isn’t enough, we recuse or decline. A verdict with an undisclosed conflict is worthless, and we sell verdicts.
The firm.
Rosetta Quantum is a brand of Blue Tuna SpA (Chile). Reports in English and Spanish. Every artifact is hash-anchored via OpenTimestamps and mirrored on GitHub, Codeberg and our public database.
