Classiq and Wolfram Research announced their selection to join the Open Quantum Institute (OQI), an initiative hosted at CERN and established by the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) with support from UBS. As part of the program, the two organizations will collaborate on applying hybrid quantum-classical methods to solve the Unit Commitment Problem (UCP), a fundamental optimization challenge in managing modern power grids. Their research aims to improve energy efficiency and grid stability through scalable quantum-enhanced solutions.
The collaboration will focus on developing hybrid workflows that integrate quantum software synthesis and advanced mathematical modeling to enhance the performance of electrical network optimization. Specifically, Classiq will contribute expertise in automated quantum circuit synthesis, while Wolfram Research will provide capabilities in symbolic and numerical computation. Together, they aim to create scalable quantum optimization models, hybrid quantum-classical integration frameworks, and benchmarking studies that measure performance improvements over traditional classical methods for solving the UCP in increasingly complex grid environments.
The Open Quantum Institute seeks to accelerate practical quantum solutions for global challenges by connecting researchers, policymakers, and industry experts. Through their participation, Classiq and Wolfram Research intend to demonstrate the role of quantum computing in sustainable infrastructure development, offering new pathways to optimize energy systems in alignment with environmental goals. The project emphasizes practical scalability and real-world applicability for energy providers and infrastructure operators.
