UPDATE -- Zapata Computing and KAUST Partner to Bring
Quantum Computing to the Middle East for the Advancement of Computational Fluid
Dynamics
Using Zapata’s quantum workflows platform,
Orquestra®, KAUST will explore how quantum computing can simulate and optimize
the aerodynamic design process for vehicles
BOSTON, March 23, 2021 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE):
Zapata Computing, Inc., the leading enterprise
software company for NISQ-based quantum applications, today announced a new
partnership with Middle East-based King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
to be a licensed user of Zapata’s Orquestra®, the modular, workflow-based platform
for applied quantum computing. KAUST is examining various lines of research to
determine how quantum technologies could represent an advantage over classical
compute tools in a variety of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) use cases for
airplane and automobile aerodynamic design.
Currently,
CFD computations are extremely time-consuming and expensive to run. The
simulation process is inefficient, and a lot of time is wasted trying to model
air flow around wings and engines more efficiently. Boosting work around those
designs could allow manufacturers to build more energy-efficient airplanes and
lead to lowered carbon emissions for air travel – therefore, having an enormous
positive impact on the environment. Airplane transportation is overall
responsible for 2% of greenhouse gas emissions. For airlines and plane manufacturers
this could drive meaningful financial and environmental results – all supported
by new quantum technology.
Home to
the KAUST Research and Technology Park (KRTP) where R&D centers, corporates
and start-ups choose to locate themselves, the university has a track record of
collaborating with industry partners at national and international levels to
transfer research-based technology into the market to achieve public benefit.
“We
are delighted to be the catalyst for bringing quantum capabilities to
CFD research in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to the Middle East,”
said Kevin Cullen, vice president of Innovation and Economic
Development at KAUST. “This partnership establishes Zapata as one of the
first quantum computing companies active in the region and will
enable KAUST researchers to explore the future of aerospace
fluid dynamics. KAUST is a leader in the areas of data analysis and AI and we
welcome the addition of Zapata’s Orquestra technology to our capabilities,
in order to accelerate discovery and innovation in these fields.”
Zapata’s Orquestra
platform improves data analytics performance, empowering companies and research
organizations to build quantum-enabled workflows®, execute
them across the full range of quantum and classical devices, and then
collect and analyze resulting data. With Orquestra, organizations can
leverage quantum capabilities to generate augmented data sets, speed up data analysis,
and construct better data models for a range of applications. Importantly, it
provides organizations with the most flexible, applied toolset in quantum
computing so that its users can build quantum capabilities without getting
locked in with a single vendor or architecture in the next several years.
“We are
always looking to expand quantum computing use cases through Orquestra and our
work with KAUST will give us a head start to explore new opportunities for more
efficient CFD,” said Christopher Savoie, co-founder and CEO, Zapata. “The
collaboration with KAUST will benefit the aerospace industry as a whole by
using quantum to bring efficiency to what has historically been a slow and
difficult process.”
