Insider Brief
Phasecraft has received a roughly $4.5 million ARPA-E award to develop quantum algorithms for catalyst discovery under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Quantum Computing for Computational Chemistry (QC3) program.
The project will focus on identifying catalyst materials that reduce reliance on critical minerals such as iridium, initially targeting hydrogen production applications.
Phasecraft will collaborate with Johnson Matthey, Harvard University, and QuEra to develop hardware-adaptive quantum algorithms for chemistry and materials science challenges.
PRESS RELEASE — Phasecraft, the world’s leading quantum algorithms company, today announced it has secured an award with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to begin work under the Quantum Computing for Computational Chemistry (QC3) program. QC3 aims to accelerate energy innovation by supporting the development and application of quantum computing approaches to chemistry and materials science problems that lie beyond the reach of classical computers.
