ElysiumQ, Inc. recently secured a major technological breakthrough with the issuance of U.S. Patent No. US12763941B1. This patent, titled ‘System, method, and apparatus for utilizing a Hadamard gate for generating seed sequences for an encryption engine’, introduces a powerful way to leverage quantum logic for data security. Developers and security engineers can now generate highly unpredictable seed values to fortify encryption frameworks against evolving computational threats.
UTAH PATENT OF THE MONTH – NOVEMBER 2026
The innovation focuses on applying a Hadamard gate and a primary logic circuit to process initial bit sequences. Inventors Tucker Nelson, Tre’ Nelson, and Bret Winkler engineered this system to receive a first bit sequence and generate a more complex second bit sequence by passing individual bits through the Hadamard gate. This setup allows for exceptional randomness in generating the foundational elements required for robust encryption engines.
Award Recognition by Swanson Reed
This invention was granted the Utah Patent of the Month for November 2026 by Swanson Reed because it demonstrates clear novelty and technical advancement in cryptographic technology. By successfully resolving the technical uncertainty surrounding the integration of quantum computing logic into standard encryption pipelines, the patent showcases a profound process of experimentation.
