Eviden, ColibrITD et l'ONERA créent la première plateforme de
calcul quantique hybride dédiée à la combustion
Paris, France –
May 16,
2023 – Eviden,
an Atos business, ColibrITD and ONERA today announce the launch of
VulQain, a research project, funded by the French Defense
Innovation Agency, to build the first end-to-end hybrid platform to
address the phenomenon of combustion and its challenges, including
its complexity and non-linearity. By integrating Eviden’s quantum
computer emulator and ColibrITD’s quantum software on ONERA’s
classical simulation platform, the project team aims to reduce
carbon emissions, lower the energy footprint of high-performance
computing (HPC) centers and help develop safer engines and turbines
in the future.
Most HPC customers are confronted with
decarbonization challenges in their particular industry and a
reduced product development time. In the meantime, classical
simulation is facing limitations: certain complex phenomena like
combustion cannot be fully simulated in a reasonable amount of
time, and more computations would require more energy, defeating
the initial purpose of reducing the environmental impact. A hybrid
approach between classical and quantum computing would bring
together faster computing capacities with improved computation
precision and energy efficiency.
This innovative project will give birth to the
first end-to-end quantum computing combustion platform that aims to
work on existing noisy and quantum computers. The project team,
supported by ColibrITD’s expertise in quantum software, will
develop a noise-resistant hybrid algorithm to solve differential
equations using the simple use case of a flame structure in 1D.
This algorithm will be integrated on Eviden’s quantum computer
emulator and, thanks to Atos’ deep expertise in hybrid computing,
on Onera’s classical simulation platform to be able to compare both
approaches and results.
Cédric
Bourrasset,
Global Head of
HPC-AI
and Quantum Computing,
Eviden, Atos Group said “This
project has come to life thanks to Atos’ innovation strategy. Atos
and ColibrITD started their collaboration through Scaler, the
Group’s start-up accelerator, and decided to solve the
computational challenge of combustion through quantum technologies
with the support of ONERA. This project is not only about algorithm
research, but also to provide those industries that require
combustion with a hybrid computational platform, enabling better
simulation capacity and precision while improving their energy
efficiency.”
Laurent Guiraud, Co-Founder and Quantum
Computing R&D Lead,
ColibrITD
declared “Being part of the VulQain project with our partners is
helping accelerate the 2nd quantum revolution adoption in key
industrial sectors says Dr. Laurent Guiraud. "This project will
help increase the quantum momentum for real use cases that will
benefit the aerospace & defense industry and other
sectors.”
Alain Refloch
in charge of quantum computing
at ONERA QTECH laboratory
highlighted “Today, a lot of effort is being put into developing
various qubit technologies. For ONERA, the interest of this project
lies in its algorithmic orientation and the fact that the
developments on this platform will be hardware-agnostic. This
platform can be used for quantum education purposes and in training
programs and will serve the air, space and defence
technologies.”
