Rolls-Royce is partnering with Quantinuum to integrate fault-tolerant quantum computing into hybrid workflows that address specific bottlenecks in gas turbine fluid dynamics simulations. This initiative focuses on leveraging the Helios platform alongside traditional supercomputers rather than replacing existing infrastructure, marking a significant step toward practical industrial applications of near-term quantum hardware.
Quantinuum, Rolls-Royce to Explore Quantum-Supercomputer Hybrid Workflows

Quantinuum & Rolls-Royce will combine Quantinuum’s Helios quantum computer with supercomputing expertise from the University of Edinburgh, advancing fluid dynamics simulations for gas turbine design.
Rolls-Royce is using quantum computing to improve the design of its gas turbines, collaborating with Quantinuum, Riverlane, and EPCC, the UK National Supercomputing Centre at the University of Edinburgh. The project will explore how fault-tolerant quantum computers can work with traditional supercomputers to overcome limitations in complex fluid dynamics simulations, a critical challenge…
