Phasecraft

Phasecraft is a London-based quantum algorithms company, spun out of UCL and the University of Bristol in 2019, that develops quantum algorithms for simulating materials and chemistry problems on near-term hardware. Its work focuses on reducing the resource overheads of quantum simulation — through techniques such as tighter circuit compilation, error mitigation and problem-specific algorithm design — so that useful calculations become feasible on noisy, limited-qubit devices. It operates in the algorithms and software layer rather than building hardware, and collaborates with superconducting hardware groups and quantum computing firms to test its methods on real processors.

QuEra Joins 3 Teams in ARPA-E Quantum Computing for Chemistry Program

QuEra Computing said its scientists will participate in three of the nine teams selected for ARPA-E's Quantum Computing for Chemistry program. The teams are led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Phasecraft. The projects target applications in superconductors, high-performance magnets, and hydrogen production.

OutlookPlausible

Within two years, QuEra's neutral-atom machines could be used to benchmark analog quantum simulation of small hydrogen-production catalyst models against classical methods.
