{{PAGENAME}} (SQRT8) is a Singapore-based startup developing quantum security solutions. It is a spin-off from the [[National University of Singapore]] (NUS)<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |url=https://cde.nus.edu.sg/ece/news-detail/nus-ece-startup-squareroot8-technologies-featured-on-straits-times/ |access-date=2025-12-22 |website=cde.nus.edu.sg|title=NUS ECE startup, Squareroot8 Technologies featured on Straits Times}}</ref>.

==Technology==
The startup has licensed a chip-based quantum random number generator (QRNG) technology from the NUS<ref name=":0" />. Their solutions include high entropy random numbers, [[quantum key distribution]], and post-quantum cryptography.

==Traction==
In September 2025, SQRT8 entered a joint product agreement with [[Partisia]] to develop a product that combines quantum-safe hardware with advanced cryptographic software to provide secure key generation and distribution to safeguard data and identities against quantum-based threats<ref>{{Cite web |title=Squareroot8 and Partisia Partner to Launch FracQtion, a Hybrid Quantum-Safe Solution Securing Communications Against Future Threats |url=https://www.squareroot8.tech/blog/squareroot8-and-partisia-partner-to-launch-fracqtion-a-hybrid-quantum-safe-solution-securing-communications-against-future-threats |access-date=2025-12-22 |website=www.squareroot8.tech}}</ref>.

==Funding==
The project received a S$3 million grant from Singapore's [[National Research Foundation]] in 2019 and raised US$3 million in seed funding in 2022<ref name=":0" />.

SQRT8's funders are undisclosed.
