IonQ and Ansys have initiated a partnership aimed at integrating quantum computing into the computer-aided engineering (CAE) market, a sector valued at approximately $10 billion. This collaboration will leverage IonQ’s quantum computers to enhance Ansys’ simulation capabilities, enabling more complex design and development processes in industries that rely on advanced modeling, such as aerospace and automotive.
IonQ plans to incorporate Ansys’ multiphysics simulation tools to optimize and design its next-generation quantum computing systems, focusing on scalability and performance. Through this integration, IonQ anticipates accelerated product innovation by simulating highly detailed structural, optical, photonic, and electromagnetic properties crucial for quantum systems.
The partnership seeks to make quantum-enhanced simulations accessible to both expert and non-expert users, potentially reducing product development timelines across various sectors. For IonQ, this initiative broadens access to the CAE industry, supporting its strategy to drive the practical application of quantum technology in high-performance computing.
