Industry
Aerospace, Simulation & Engineering
Flow, turbulence and high-speed simulation problems at the edge of what current solvers reach.
Problems we address
- Turbulence modelling where resolution and runtime trade against each other badly
- Hypersonic and shock regimes that classical solvers handle only at great expense
- Design iterations gated by simulation turnaround rather than by engineering judgement
- Materials performance questions needing both simulation and physical test data to answer

Quantum-Encrypted Materials Databases
Consortium members want to pool materials data without exposing their own pipeline, and trust-plus-a-contract does not scale across parties who are collaborators and competitors at once. We are looking at quantum-resistant schemes for confidentiality that has to outlast current cryptography. Stated plainly: most of this is a governance problem wearing a cryptography costume, and we would want to argue the answer is boring standard cryptography before agreeing that it is not.

Quantum-Enhanced Turbulence Modeling
Turbulence is the canonical unsolved problem of classical physics, and every practical method models the small scales rather than resolving them — the modelled part is where the error lives. We are testing whether quantum representations can carry sub-grid correlation directly rather than approximating its effect. The bar is a canonical benchmark flow first, then a Reynolds number where classical models are known to degrade. We are at the first, not the second.
