Quantinuum entered a multi-year agreement with Rolls-Royce, quantum error correction specialist Riverlane, and the University of Edinburgh’s EPCC supercomputing center.
The partnership will explore fault-tolerant quantum computers. These computers aim to solve complex computational fluid dynamics challenges. These challenges are crucial for industrial design, including gas turbines.
The collaboration leverages Quantinuum's Helios quantum computer, Rolls-Royce's industrial expertise, Riverlane's error correction technology, and EPCC's supercomputing capabilities. This aims to develop hybrid quantum-classical workflows.
This initiative aligns with the UK's national quantum mission. The mission aims to develop systems capable of one trillion error-free operations. This supports the UK's goal of becoming a leader in industrial quantum applications.
