Igor Kudryashov, CEO and Founder, Quantum Detection tells SJA about how the company will expand in the future.

Can you tell me about yourself and your role?

I am the CEO and Founder of Quantum Detection.

I hold a PhD in Economics and have held senior executive roles in large international corporations.

That experience has given me a strong foundation in strategic leadership, financial oversight and organizational growth.

At Quantum, I’ve applied that background to build a company that blends innovation with commercial discipline.

From day one, I’ve prioritized working directly with end users – including security officers, airport operators and screening equipment manufacturers – to understand their needs.

That insight shapes how we develop AI that is not only technically advanced but also practical and effective.

As CEO, I lead the company’s vision, partnerships and direction, ensuring our solutions deliver real-world value.

What kind of solutions does Quantum Detection provide?

Quantum Detection offers a suite of AI-powered tools designed to modernize threat detection and operational oversight.

Our core product is real-time AI software for X-ray scanners, capable of automatically identifying a wide range of threats – including firearms, blades, lithium batteries, liquids and electronics – based on material characteristics.

It is compatible with luggage, cargo and container scanners, and integrates with both new and existing systems.

We also provide operator monitoring technologies, including NIST-certified facial recognition, fatigue tracking and automatic lockout when unauthorized use is detected.

Automated manifest reading is another key feature – comparing declared cargo contents with scanned images to flag inconsistencies.

Beyond X-ray, our AI extends to CCTV systems for behavioral analytics, zone tracking and lost item detection.

We’re also expanding into retail loss prevention, where our technology supports theft detection, traffic monitoring and operational insight.

Our solutions are available through flexible licensing – including perpetual and subscription-based options – to suit a wide range of security and commercial needs.

What makes the company stand out in the security market?

Quantum Detection stands out for our real-world deployment experience, technical depth and focus on practical value.

We develop proprietary AI models customized to specific screening needs and we work closely with partners to ensure accuracy in operational environments.

We respond quickly to new threats, regulations and integration requests – without compromising quality.

In addition to high-performance software, we support our partners throughout the full lifecycle: from integration and customization to updates and training.

Our solutions are cost-effective, fast to deploy and built to deliver lasting value.

How do you plan to grow the company over the next 12 months?

We’re growing alongside existing OEM and integration partners while building new relationships with manufacturers and dealers.

A key focus is the high-energy market – particularly truck and container scanning – where demand for automated threat detection is rising.

We’re also expanding into new industries like retail, applying our AI to loss prevention and operational monitoring.

This reflects our core strength: delivering scalable, intelligent solutions across diverse security and commercial environments.
