Renewable energy sources generally spill energy due to supply and demand mismatches, so we’ve designed the TESS device to capture this ‘spilt’ energy for later use or release to the grid. Our system also means that energy consumers will be able to purchase stored electricity off-peak at low tariffs, which ultimately means cheaper energy.

The basic building block is 12 qubits arranged in a hexagon, with a qubit on each point and another on each flat edge. The qubits along the edges only connect to their two closest neighbors, while the ones on the points can connect to a third qubit, which makes it possible to tile hexagons alongside each other to build larger processors.
