Quantinuum, Rolls-Royce, Riverlane and EPCC Sign Multi-Year Agreement to Explore Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing for Gas Turbine Fluid Dynamics Simulations
On July 14, 2026, Quantinuum, Rolls-Royce, Riverlane and EPCC announced a multi-year agreement to explore quantum computing capabilities for industrial workflows, specifically complex fluid dynamics simulations in gas turbine design. Quantinuum will provide access to its Helios quantum computer, while Rolls-Royce contributes design expertise, Riverlane offers quantum error correction knowledge, and EPCC delivers supercomputing integration. The project seeks to combine fault-tolerant quantum systems with classical supercomputers to address computational challenges in high-fidelity modeling. Their collaboration builds on previous work and supports the UK’s goal of accessible teraQuOp-scale quantum systems for practical industrial applications.
