Shlomo Kashani · Deep-tech AI, quantum & strategic advisory

Clarity in applied AI.

Geopolitical acceleration, autonomous systems, and AI-enabled decisions are compressing the window for defence and enterprise leaders — to choose the right technology bet, and to build it.

I build instruments to disprove my own hypotheses, and I trust a theory only once it survives a genuine attempt to kill it.

Work with me privately.

I take on a small number of chief executives and deep-tech teams as a Fractional Head of AI at a time — on the AI, quantum, machine-learning, defence & strategy decisions where getting it wrong is expensive. Write a short note — the decision in front of you and how much time you have. That is enough to start. I read everything personally.

Where to start:

Books on quantum physics, intelligence analysis, and just war theory

Strategy and the system, together.

A professional doctorate in Defence and Strategic Studies alongside twenty years of production AI — LLM, retrieval, agentic systems, quantum computing — means the strategic frame and the technical claim live in the same conversation.

Beyond the advisory work, my first love is AI and quantum-physics research, and most of it ships as open source. Recent releases include QuantumNovelty, an agent framework that audits quantum-computing papers, alongside mlxQ, a quantum-simulation framework tuned for Apple Silicon, and QuantumLLMInstruct, a corpus of AI-generated quantum-computing problems and solutions.

AI systems

Production large language models, retrieval, and agentic AI — designed, built, and shipped into real use.

Quantum computing

Applied quantum computing and QML — research, prototyping, and simulation, including frameworks tuned for Apple Silicon.

Strategic advisory

Judgement on high-stakes AI decisions made under uncertainty and time pressure, for boards and chief executives.

Impact

AI Deployment

Production ML at hospital scale

Designed and shipped a medical-AI classification system deployed across hospital networks, with a hard requirement that the model's reasoning be interpretable to clinicians under time pressure.

Strategic Advisory

AI investment clarity for a board

Assessed competing AI technology bets for a deep-tech executive team, separating tractable capability from vendor hype, and defined a twelve-month build sequence with explicit kill conditions.

Quantum Research

Open-source quantum audit toolchain

Built and released QuantumNovelty, an agentic framework that audits quantum-computing papers for reproducibility claims — now in use by researchers across multiple institutions.
