Q-BEAM · SURGICAL COMMAND CENTER
Every second
saves a life.
Quantum-optimized laser trajectory planning for brain tumor ablation. From scan to plan, in seconds — not hours.
THE PROBLEM
LITT planning is stuck in the past.
MALIGNANT BRAIN TUMORS
Of all malignant brain and CNS tumors are Glioblastoma — the most aggressive primary brain cancer.
TURNED AWAY FROM LITT
Patients are denied laser interstitial thermal therapy due to complex tumor shape and size — an access crisis.
REQUIRE MULTIPLE PROBES
Even accepted patients need multiple laser probes to achieve adequate ablation. Today's planning can't optimize for one-shot coverage.
01 · PERCEPTION
The brain, segmented.
Swin UNETR transforms multi-modal MRI into a 3D map of tumor, critical structures, and healthy tissue.
02 · PHYSICS
Heat, predicted.
Pennes' bioheat equation models thermal diffusion in 3D — every voxel, every watt, every millisecond.
03 · OPTIMIZATION
Optimal, not approximate.
Trajectory planning formulated as a QUBO and solved on the D-Wave Advantage2 quantum annealer in seconds.

WHY QUANTUM
Trajectory planning is a combinatorial problem.
- High-dimensional, non-convex search space with thousands of candidate trajectories.
- Classical solvers get stuck in local minima — every run can produce a different "acceptable" plan.
- Quantum sampling on D-Wave Advantage2 finds the global minimum in seconds.
