Startup Riverlane announced a partnership with Rolls-Royce on a project to build computational tools to simulate large, complex materials on a quantum computer to aid in material development.
Riverlane is focused on solving the problem of errors in quantum computing. It has developed a Quantum Error Correction Stack to detect, diagnose, and correct quantum errors as they occur, enabling quantum computers to move well beyond a few hundred error-free operations into trillions of error-free operations.
The Quantum Accelerator for Materials Design (QuaMaD) project, which also involves working with the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), will drastically reduce the number of qubits (quantum bits) required to simulate new materials.
