QunaSys has secured a DKK 19 million ($2.67M USD) grant from the Innovation Fund Denmark for the HyperTenQ project, a collaboration with the University of Copenhagen and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP). The initiative focuses on optimizing quantum algorithms for chemical simulations, leveraging Tensor Hypercontraction (THC) to enhance Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) with qubitization. This approach aims to reduce computational complexity and improve the efficiency of modeling molecular interactions, addressing challenges in drug discovery, materials science, and energy solutions.
The project will develop software tailored for fully error-corrected quantum hardware, ensuring compatibility with cutting-edge photonic quantum computers. By establishing a scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) framework, HyperTenQ seeks to enable practical applications in pharmaceuticals, energy, and advanced materials. The collaboration combines QunaSys’s expertise in quantum software with NQCP’s hardware advancements, accelerating the transition from research to industry adoption.
This initiative highlights QunaSys’s role in advancing quantum chemistry and fostering global quantum innovation. By addressing key challenges in computational chemistry, the project aims to unlock new possibilities for scientific discovery and industrial applications.
