Quantinuum Signs Multi-Year Rolls-Royce Quantum Design Deal for Gas Turbines

Summary
Quantinuum entered a multi-year research agreement with Rolls-Royce, Riverlane and the University of Edinburgh’s EPCC to test quantum computing in industrial design and simulation.
The work targets computational fluid dynamics for gas turbine development, where complex fluid simulations consume heavy computing resources and could benefit from hybrid quantum-classical methods.
Quantinuum will provide access to its systems and software, Rolls-Royce will supply industrial design applications, Riverlane will contribute error-correction and algorithm expertise, and EPCC will integrate quantum with high-performance computing workflows.
The partners plan to run algorithms on Quantinuum’s Helios machine and assess whether they can scale to future fault-tolerant systems, extending earlier work on industrial quantum algorithms and error correction.
