BROOMFIELD, Colorado and CAMBRIDGE, England, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantinuum Inc. (NASDAQ: QNT), Rolls-Royce, Riverlane, and EPCC, the UK's national supercomputing center based at the University of Edinburgh, today announced the signing of an agreement to explore the quantum computing capabilities needed for future industrial workflows, such as gas turbine design. Under this agreement, Quantinuum will provide access to its quantum systems and software environment, Rolls-Royce will contribute industrial design use cases and its sector expertise, Riverlane will leverage its expertise in quantum error correction and algorithms, and EPCC will contribute its expertise in supercomputing and hybrid workflow integration. Complex fluid dynamics simulations play a central role in gas turbine design, but they can require significant computing resources as models gain precision. As part of a collaboration expected to span several years, the partners will investigate how fault-tolerant quantum computers could work in parallel with supercomputers to overcome this bottleneck and accurately model fluid dynamics inside gas turbines. "The computational power requirements for simulating complex fluid dynamics are a major challenge in industrial design, and to address this, it is important to seek to understand how quantum computing can complement current supercomputers," said Dr...
