Code of Ethics

Purpose At Quantum Bridge (QB), our Code of Ethics reflects who we are: a company driven by curiosity, grounded in integrity, and united by a shared purpose to advance quantum-era technologies responsibly. Our work sits at the intersection of science and possibility, where innovation must always be guided by ethical judgment and respect for people, data, and the world around us. This Code defines how we make decisions, treat one another, and represent QB. It is built on the same foundation as our culture: trust, collaboration, continuous learning, and a belief that doing things the right way matters just as much as what we achieve. The Code applies to every member of the QB community, including employees, contractors, and leaders. It serves as our guide for upholding our values in all we do.

Our Guiding Principles

Integrity and Transparency
We act with honesty and consistency, even when no one is watching. Transparency in our actions, communications, and decision-making builds trust across our team and with our partners. We hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of ethical conduct in every interaction.

Respect and Inclusion
We treat all individuals with dignity, fairness, and empathy. Diversity of thought and background strengthens our work and fuels innovation. We are committed to cultivating a workplace where every person feels seen, safe, and valued for their authentic self.

Collaboration and Connection
We succeed together. We listen actively, communicate openly, and give and receive feedback with respect. We recognize that meaningful collaboration happens when psychological safety and trust are present, allowing everyone to contribute ideas freely and take risks without fear.

Curiosity and Continuous Growth
We are lifelong learners. We seek out new perspectives, explore new frontiers, and embrace feedback as a tool for improvement. Growth is both an individual and collective responsibility that strengthens our culture and advances our mission.

Responsibility and Accountability
We take ownership of our words, actions, and impact. We follow through on commitments, address mistakes openly, and focus on learning and solutions. Each of us contributes to maintaining the ethical and scientific integrity of QB’s work.

Innovation with Purpose
As leaders in quantum-era technologies, we understand that our discoveries carry global implications. We innovate with foresight, ensuring that our work advances science responsibly and contributes positively to society. We balance bold experimentation with careful consideration of ethical impact.

Ethical Conduct in Practice

Compliance and Fair Business Practices
We conduct business lawfully, fairly, and transparently. We do not tolerate corruption, bribery, or conflicts of interest. Decisions are made based on merit, ethics, and the best interests of QB’s mission and stakeholders.

Confidentiality, Data Protection, and Security
Security and confidentiality are fundamental to how we serve our customers. We safeguard proprietary information, client data, and personal privacy. Data is handled responsibly, shared only when appropriate, and always in compliance with applicable laws and company policies.

Conflict of Interest
We avoid situations where personal interests might interfere with our professional responsibilities or the company’s mission. When potential conflicts arise, we disclose them promptly and act transparently.

Workplace Integrity and Psychological Safety
We are committed to a respectful, inclusive, and harassment-free environment. Psychological safety is essential for innovation. Everyone should feel comfortable speaking up, sharing ideas, and challenging the status quo constructively.

Use of Company Resources
We use QB’s resources, including data, technology, time, and budget, responsibly and for legitimate business purposes. Protecting these resources ensures the company’s sustainability and our shared success.

Community and Social Responsibility
We recognize our responsibility to contribute positively to the world around us. Through community engagement, volunteer efforts, and ethical research, we extend QB’s impact beyond our products and into the broader scientific and social ecosystem.

Speaking Up

At QB, open communication is not only encouraged, it is expected. If you see or experience behavior that conflicts with our Code or values, you are empowered to speak up. You can share concerns directly with your manager, the People team, or through an anonymous feedback channel.

Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited. Transparency and trust are how we uphold our culture and continue to grow stronger as a team.

Our Commitment

Ethics at QB are not static rules. They are living principles that guide how we show up, collaborate, and innovate every day. As our company grows, our commitment to integrity, respect, and purpose remains constant.

By living these values, we build more than a business. We build a trusted community of thinkers, builders, and innovators working toward a shared vision: advancing quantum-era technologies with responsibility, humanity, and excellence.
