xDots is demonstrating measurable results beyond theoretical research with its xEnergy system, achieving 15-30% energy savings in initial Proof of Concept projects before full-scale quantum computing commercialization. The deep-tech startup unveiled xEnergy and its precision measurement tool, xSee, at Quantum Korea 2026, showcasing practical industrial applications of quantum technology. Utilizing diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) based quantum technology that operates at room temperature, xSee captures ultra-precise power consumption data which then fuels xEnergy’s AI and IoT-driven optimization strategies. Founded in 2022, xDots aims to integrate quantum technology into solving practical problems at industrial sites, addressing rising power costs and climate change; the company participated in the 4th annual Quantum Korea 2026 event, establishing the conference as a key venue for applied quantum tech.
xEnergy System Integrates Quantum, AI, and IoT for Real-Time Analysis
Achieving up to 30% energy savings before widespread quantum computing is commercially viable is the central promise of xEnergy, a system recently demonstrated by deep-tech startup xDots at Quantum Korea 2026. The xEnergy system does not rely on future quantum processing power; instead, it leverages the precision of diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) based quantum technology to measure energy consumption with unprecedented accuracy. This data, captured by xSee, is then fed into an AI and Internet of Things (IoT) network for real-time analysis and optimization. The core of xSee’s capability lies in its diamond NV centers, created by injecting nitrogen into a diamond crystal; these centers utilize electron states as qubits, but crucially operate at room temperature, circumventing the need for costly and complex cooling systems. This allows xSee to measure power consumption data of industrial equipment and manufacturing processes to a precision of ±0.01%, detecting even minute fluctuations previously undetectable.
Collected data is visualized through xMon, a dashboard displaying energy flows, and analyzed by xOpt, an AI-driven solution proposing optimal operation scenarios. Proof of Concept (PoC) projects have already demonstrated the system’s effectiveness; xDots reports a 15-30% energy saving effect through collaborations with SPC Secta9ine and Kolon Global, as well as a completed PoC with Hoban Construction’s Island Resom for HVAC optimization. Woodo Lee, CEO of xDots, explained that “xEnergy accurately pinpoints when factory equipment wastes the most power and how operation cycles should be adjusted to be efficient.” The company intends to expand beyond these initial deployments, targeting data centers, manufacturing plants, and public facilities with its commercially verified quantum solution.

Diamond NV-Based Quantum Technology Enables Ultra-Precise Power Measurement
The pursuit of enhanced energy efficiency is increasingly leveraging advancements in quantum technology, moving beyond theoretical research and into practical industrial applications. This circumvents a significant obstacle hindering the widespread adoption of many quantum devices, allowing for easier integration into existing infrastructure. The core of xSee, xDots’ precision measurement tool, utilizes this technology by creating an NV center, an empty space next to a nitrogen atom injected into a diamond crystal, and harnessing the electron state as a qubit. This approach enables xSee to capture power consumption data with an unprecedented level of precision, reported at ±0.01%, detecting even subtle fluctuations previously beyond the reach of conventional sensors. This granular data, collected via quantum sensors and IoT networks, forms the foundation of xEnergy, which employs artificial intelligence to analyze energy flows and optimize operational strategies.
The unveiling of xSee and demonstration of xEnergy at Quantum Korea 2026 underscores the event’s growing importance as a platform for showcasing tangible quantum applications. The company’s success in achieving these savings before full-scale quantum computing commercialization positions them as a notable player in the emerging field of quantum-enhanced energy management, and signals a shift toward practical quantum solutions for real-world problems.
The pursuit of industrial energy efficiency took a significant step forward as xDots demonstrated measurable savings through its xEnergy system at Quantum Korea 2026, achieving reductions of 15-30% in recent Proof of Concept projects prior to widespread quantum computing availability. These results, validated with both SPC Secta9ine and Kolon Global, showcase the potential for quantum-based solutions to address escalating power costs and environmental concerns, moving beyond theoretical applications to tangible industrial impact. This room-temperature operation allows for the ultra-precise measurement of power consumption data across industrial equipment and manufacturing processes, capturing fluctuations down to ±0.01% according to xDots. This granular data is then fed into an AI-driven analysis engine, visualized through the xMon dashboard, and optimized via the xOpt solution, which proposes adjustments to operation cycles. Beyond refrigeration and pump systems, xDots has also completed a PoC with Hoban Construction’s Island Resom, optimizing HVAC systems and currently providing the related solution.
This practical application, showcased at Quantum Korea 2026, centers on a suite of components, xSee, xMon, and xOpt, designed to optimize energy consumption in industrial settings. xSee functions as a precision measurement tool, capturing ultra-precise power consumption data through a quantum sensor and IoT network. This data is then visualized via xMon, a dashboard providing an intuitive overview of energy flows, allowing administrators to quickly identify areas for improvement. The system does not simply highlight inefficiencies; xOpt, an independent AI-driven solution, proposes and executes optimized operation scenarios. According to xDots, the measurement precision of xSee reaches ±0.01%, enabling the detection of minute fluctuations previously undetectable by conventional methods. The company has already validated its approach through PoCs with both domestic conglomerates and universities, including SPC Secta9ine and Kolon Global, confirming the energy-saving potential of its integrated system. The company anticipates expanding deployments to a range of high-consumption environments, including data centers and large-scale manufacturing plants, and is actively pursuing global market entry with its empirically-proven quantum solutions.
