JERSEY CITY, NJ — Quarks Advantage received the Small Business Distinction Award at the 2025 Governor’s Conference on Housing and Economic Development, held in Atlantic City. The recognition highlights the company’s growing contributions across business resilience, digital health, and next-generation computing research.
“We are innovators. We are making new and different things that can impact the real world,” said Dr. José Gabriel Carrasco Ramírez, CEO of Quarks Advantage, in his award acceptance remarks at the main ceremony. “This award inspires us to try, and try, and try—and to teach others to try, to try, to try. Our business grows stronger when we share knowledge with other entrepreneurs, giving them the advice they need to succeed, and making Jersey City and all New Jersey a better place to live, to work, and to prosper.”
During the conference, Quarks Advantage convened a working session with partners from Hackathon Raptors, a global, community-driven initiative known for large-scale hackathons and a vibrant developer network. The session focused on the company’s bold project: the State-Parallel Computing (SPC) paradigm. Participants included high-tech professionals from organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, NVIDIA, Tesla, Zoom, and others.
What is State-Parallel Computing™ (SPC)?
SPC is a governed computing architecture that performs logic through controlled physical propagation. It reframes computation as the governed evolution of physical states—enforcing correctness during execution (not only after), grounding trust in physics, and aiming for stable performance under ambient conditions. Built on reconfigurable photonic and graphene-hybrid substrates, SPC extends naturally from CMOS via compatible fabrication routes, enabling near-term implementation without speculative materials.
Early SPC Applications (outlined by Dr. Carrasco)
-
Robotics: “Treat motion as an attractor—robots settle into safe grasps and recover balance by design.”
-
Augmented Reality: “Bind graphics to governed physical state—anchors don’t drift and interactions stay plausible.”
-
Drug Discovery: “Steer molecules toward feasible minima—chemistry-valid, synthesizable, ADMET-aware candidates faster.”
