Quantinuum and Mitsubishi Electric have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to establish a strategic partnership focused on developing quantum computing applications for industrial engineering and design. The collaboration will leverage Quantinuum’s trapped-ion quantum systems combined with Mitsubishi Electric’s expertise in electromagnetic field analysis, structural analysis, and thermal fluid simulation across factory automation and building systems. The companies aim to explore quantum approaches for computer-aided engineering, computational fluid dynamics, and simulation workflows to address complex design challenges.
