£4.8 million placing and admission to trading on AIM.

Quantum Base Holdings plc (Quantum Base) is a quantum science company creating a new global standard in authentication through its patented Q-ID product. Q-ID creates near unbreakable and non-replaceable authenticity tags that can be applied to a vast array of products, significantly mitigating counterfeiting, and can be authenticated with a smartphone.

The business was founded in 2013 as a spin-out from Lancaster University, aiming to commercialise Professor Robert Young’s discoveries in quantum physics. Quantum Base has signed two framework agreements with printing partners that include pre-agreed terms, allowing them to market and sell the company’s Q-ID technology to their clients.
