The partnership focuses on adapting Phasecraft’s specialized algorithms to run directly on Atom Computing’s neutral-atom architecture. By optimizing software for specific hardware constraints, the firms intend to improve the efficiency of simulations required for sustainable technology development. This move follows Atom Computing’s recent progress in error correction and its participation in DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative. Phasecraft, which maintains operations in both the UK and US, brings experience in designing software that functions on current, imperfect quantum systems. Dr. Ben Bloom, CEO of Atom Computing, noted that the synergy between hardware and algorithmic methods is critical for achieving commercial-scale results. Prof. Ashley Montanaro, CEO of Phasecraft, emphasized that combining scalable platforms with hardware-adaptive software is a necessary step toward practical applications in energy storage and solar technology. The two companies will work to prove these capabilities as they move beyond experimental demonstrations toward real-world industrial utility.
Atom Computing and Phasecraft Partner to Target Materials Science
Boulder-based Atom Computing and UK algorithm developer Phasecraft have signed a memorandum of understanding to bridge the gap between neutral-atom hardware and commercial software. The collaboration aims to accelerate quantum utility in energy sectors, specifically targeting advancements in battery chemistry and photovoltaic material discovery.
