Riverlane + Rolls Royce
就在這週,量子初創公司Riverlane宣布與勞斯萊斯展開合作,希望以量子計算為基礎建立模型,大規模進行未來前瞻複合材料的開發。
"With internal air temperatures reaching 2000 celcius, beyond the melting point of the materials we use, jet engines are a hostile environment for its components. Our current state-of-the-art materials have taken many years to develop, and we continually seek improvements in their properties to deliver more efficient engines."
「對噴射發動機而言,當內部運轉溫度超過2000度,就會抵達現今所用材料的熔點。為了提供更加先進的材料,我們已經花了很多年來研發,透過不斷改進它們的性能,提供未來人類社會更高效能的發動機。」
此計畫(Quantum Accelerator for Materials Design Project)同時結合了國家量子計算中心(NQCC)的資源,開發量子錯誤校正功能,在量子計算錯誤發生時檢測、診斷和自動修正,使其計算的效率上升百億個數量級。
"Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise our ability to understand and design new materials, and we are excited to extend our existing collaborations with Riverlane and NQCC into our first Quantum Chemistry project."
「量子計算有潛力徹底改變我們理解和設計新材料的能力,我們很高興能將與Riverlane和NQCC合作,擴展我們首個量子項目。」
