Quantinuum, Rolls-Royce, Riverlane and University of Edinburgh Sign Agreement to Explore Quantum Computing For Industrial Design And Simulation

Insider Brief

Quantinuum, Rolls-Royce, Riverlane and EPCC have launched a multi-year collaboration to explore hybrid quantum-supercomputing workflows for industrial applications, beginning with gas turbine fluid dynamics simulations.

The partners will combine Quantinuum’s quantum hardware and software, Rolls-Royce’s engineering use cases, Riverlane’s quantum error correction expertise and EPCC’s high-performance computing capabilities to develop and test fault-tolerant hybrid algorithms.

The project will evaluate computational building blocks on Quantinuum’s Helios quantum computer and future systems while supporting the UK’s goal of developing teraQuOp-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers for industrial use.
