Insider Brief
Infleqtion has been selected by Eaton to provide quantum computing technology support for research into improving U.S. electrical grid resilience through an Air Force Research Laboratory-funded program.
The collaboration will evaluate how quantum algorithms and neutral-atom quantum hardware can support grid contingency analysis and reliability planning.
Eaton and Infleqtion will explore quantum approaches for analyzing complex power system scenarios, including optimization, circuit performance, error correction, and future scalability.
Press release – Infleqtion, a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, announced that Eaton, a global power management company, selected Infleqtion to support new research evaluating how quantum computing can improve the resilience of the U.S. electrical grid. As part of an Eaton award from the Air Force Research Laboratory (ARFL), Infleqtion received a subcontract to apply quantum computing hardware to support grid contingency analysis. Infleqtion and Eaton aim to advance reliability analysis used by utilities to predict and prevent cascading power outages.
