Welinq has launched the AQADOC project, funded by the Ile-de-France Region, to advance distributed quantum computing for energy production. The project, in collaboration with EDF (Électricité de France), brings together a consortium of quantum computing providers and end-users, aiming to leverage multiple quantum processor units (QPUs) for parallel computations. This approach addresses the limitations of individual QPUs by enhancing computational power through interconnected devices.
The AQADOC consortium includes key players such as Pasqal, Quandela, Lip6, Le Lab Quantique, Teratec, and GENCI, with expertise in quantum protocols and algorithms. The project focuses on developing new algorithms for energy production and management, such as battery simulation and optimal energy routing. It also aims to tackle high-complexity simulations like structural evolution in dams and power plants.
This initiative highlights the collaborative spirit in the quantum ecosystem and the potential of distributed quantum computing to solve complex problems in energy and other industries. The AQADOC project sets the stage for significant advancements in quantum computing applications.
