About the webinar

Classical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is hitting a performance wall for industries like aerospace, automotive, and maritime. 

Quantum computing offers a scalable alternative, but real-world hardware demonstrations have historically been limited to simple, empty-space toy problems.

Quanscient and Haiqu have changed that by executing the first publicly documented quantum simulation of nonlinear fluid flow interacting with a solid object. 

By pairing Quanscient’s new OSSLBM algorithm with Haiqu’s circuit optimization and noise mitigation, we successfully ran a complex geometry-constrained flow on a real IBM quantum processor. 

In this webinar, we’ll explore what this demonstration means in practice and how it impacts the timeline for practical quantum advantage.

Key takeaways

  • Why classical CFD is a bottleneck and how quantum computing offers a scalable alternative for large-scale engineering

  • How the new algorithm works and how we successfully ran it on quantum hardware to simulate flow around an obstacle

  • What this means for industry R&D teams preparing for practical quantum advantage

Who should attend?

Engineers, researchers, and technical leadership who want to see the latest advancements in quantum CFD and understand its impact, applications, and timeline for real-world use.
