Viewbix: Quantum Transportation Completes First Milestone in Transformer-Based Quantum Decoder Program, Securing Key IP License from Ramot at Tel Aviv University | VBIX Stock News

Tel Aviv, Israel, Jan. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viewbix Inc. (Nasdaq: VBIX) (“Viewbix” or the “Company”), an advanced technologies company, today announced that Quantum Transportation Ltd. ("Quantum Transportation"), a minority-owned subsidiary of Quantum X Labs Ltd, has successfully completed Milestone 1 in its Quantum Decoder program. This achievement marks significant progress toward a universal, code-agnostic neural decoder for quantum error correction. Milestone 1 encompassed Patent Feasibility Assessment, Comprehensive Quantum Error Correction (QEC) Model Research, and Finalization of the Transformer Architecture. Critically, completion of this milestone fulfills a key condition under Quantum Transportation’s sub-license agreement with Ramot at Tel Aviv University (the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University). This ensures continued access to and rights under the foundational intellectual property - a pending patent for an innovative, machine learning-based quantum error correction decoder - enabling uninterrupted development and potential commercialization of this high-impact technology. Through Milestone 1, Quantum Transportation finalized its initial transformer-based decoding architecture, performed an in-depth analysis of leading QEC approaches, and validated in simulations that the approach shows strong potential to outperform traditional decoding methods in efficiency, scalability, and adaptability to varied noise conditions. This transitions the program from early-stage research to a technically validated, defensible architecture poised for prototyping and real-world validation. The milestone advances Quantum Transportation’s goal of delivering a scalable, transformer-powered decoder capable of generalizing across multiple quantum codes and noise models - addressing a core challenge in achieving fault-tolerant quantum computing with applications in high-reliability sectors, such as transportation, security, and beyond. With Milestone 1 achieved, Quantum Transportation will now advance to Milestone 2: System Proof of Concept. This phase will include expanded simulations, exploration of practical implementation pathways, and initial engagements with design partners and potential collaborators. This update emphasizes Viewbix’s strategic focus on quantum technologies following the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire up to 100% (and not less than 85%) of Quantum X Labs, encompassing its expanding patent portfolio, including prior IP in quantum error correction. The acquisition is expected to close within 90 days of the date of execution of the definitive agreement, which was December 15, 2025, subject to final due diligence, regulatory approvals, the approval of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with applicable rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and customary closing conditions.
