Quantinuum (NASDAQ: QNT), Rolls-Royce, Riverlane, and EPCC (the UK National Supercomputing Centre at the University of Edinburgh) have announced a multi-year collaboration to develop hybrid quantum-classical workflows. The partnership will focus on modeling complex computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for gas turbine design. Transitioning from Emulation to Physical Hardware The agreement marks a shift for Rolls-Royce, Riverlane, and EPCC. For nearly five years, these three partners have co-developed and refined hybrid algorithms using classical emulators. Under this new agreement, the consortium will begin executing these algorithms on physical quantum hardware, utilizing Quantinuum’s trapped-ion Helios platform, with future scaling planned for upcoming systems [...]
