Viewbix Inc. announced that its subsidiary Quantum Transportation has finished Milestone 1 of its quantum decoder program. The milestone included a patent‑feasibility assessment, a comprehensive study of quantum error‑correction (QEC) models, and the finalization of a transformer‑based decoding architecture. The work satisfies a key condition of the sub‑license agreement with Ramot at Tel Aviv University, ensuring continued access to the foundational intellectual property needed for a machine‑learning‑based QEC decoder.
The patent‑feasibility assessment confirmed that the company’s proposed decoder design can be protected under existing patents and that the technology can be scaled to support a range of quantum codes and noise models. The transformer‑based architecture, validated in simulation, outperforms traditional decoding methods in efficiency, scalability, and adaptability to varied noise conditions, positioning Viewbix to deliver a fault‑tolerant quantum computing solution that could be commercialized in the coming years.
Viewbix’s financial profile remains a concern. Revenue has been declining, and the company reports negative profitability margins and a distressed financial‑strength rating. Liquidity is limited, as indicated by a low current ratio. The decline is largely driven by weaker demand in the core digital‑advertising segment, where competition and shifting consumer behavior have eroded margins. These headwinds underscore the risk that the company may need to allocate significant resources to the quantum effort before the advertising business can recover.
The company is in the process of acquiring Quantum X Labs, a move that is expected to close within 90 days of the December 15 2025 definitive agreement. Quantum Transportation is a minority‑owned unit of Quantum X Labs, meaning Viewbix does not yet hold majority control. The acquisition is intended to broaden Viewbix’s patent portfolio in quantum error correction and accelerate commercialization of its decoder technology. However, a competing transaction announced by Rail Vision Ltd. on January 14 2026, which seeks a majority stake in Quantum Transportation, could complicate Viewbix’s plans and introduce additional strategic uncertainty.
The market reacted positively to the milestone announcement, with investors recognizing the strategic importance of securing the intellectual property and the potential upside of a transformer‑powered quantum decoder. Nonetheless, the company’s ongoing financial challenges and the competitive landscape in digital advertising temper enthusiasm, suggesting that the quantum initiative will need to deliver tangible revenue benefits before the broader business can stabilize.
Looking ahead, Quantum Transportation will move to Milestone 2, which will involve expanded simulations, practical implementation pathways, and initial engagements with design partners. The company’s ability to progress will depend on continued investment in research and development, the successful integration of Quantum X Labs, and the resolution of liquidity constraints that currently limit its capacity to fund large‑scale commercialization efforts.
