Berlin and Munich, 29thJuly 2024 – Quantistry, a Berlin-based start-up offering a cloud-native chemical simulation platform, and IQM Quantum Computers announced today a memorandum of understanding to explore hybrid classical-quantum solutions in the chemical and material industry.
Through this collaboration, IQM and Quantistry are combining their technical expertise to integrate cutting-edge quantum systems into QuantistryLab, Quantistry’s chemical simulation platform.
This synergy is poised to boost QuantistryLab’s capabilities, enabling users to tackle use cases of industrial interest with even greater efficiency and accuracy.
“We are demonstrating our ongoing commitment to accelerating quantum computing innovation and exploring use cases of industrial relevance by extending our relationship with Quantistry,” said Dr. Peter Eder, Head of Strategic Partnerships at IQM Quantum Computers. “With our strong technical expertise and unique technology, this partnership gives us the opportunity to expand innovation leadership in the quantum ecosystem and show how quantum computing can benefit the chemical and material industries.”
Recently, IQM launched IQM Resonance, a cloud service aimed at giving algorithm developers and scientists seamless and easy access to IQM’s advanced quantum systems to plan, develop, test, and benchmark their quantum algorithms.
“The growing collaboration with IQM strengthens Quantistry’s commitment to reshape chemical and material R&D, from quantum to AI,” said Dr. Arturo Robertazzi, Chief Growth Officer and Co-Founder at Quantistry. “With a focus on sustainability and renewable energies, this partnership propels our goal of enabling leaders in strategic industrial sectors to foster a greener future for all.”
In March 2024, Quantistry reached a significant milestone: a €3 million funding round led by Ananda Impact Ventures, with contributions from industry players such as Chemovator, the business incubator of BASF.
This funding is set to accelerate Quantistry’s mission of innovating the R&D landscape through quantum-based simulations and AI-driven solutions.
As quantum computing unlocks new opportunities across diverse industrial sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and energy, Quantistry and IQM join forces to turn these potentially disruptive prospects into reality.
