BQP<\/a>, a dual-use quantum-accelerated simulation software company, has raised an oversubscribed $4.9 million\u00a0seed round to expand its unified digital twin platform, BQPhy, for mission-critical industries, including aerospace, defense (A&D), and semiconductor. The raise follows a strategic collaboration with the\u00a0<\/a>Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate (AFRL\/RQ)<\/a>\u00a0under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to accelerate mission-critical modeling and simulation capabilities with quantum computing.<\/p>\n \u201cOur quantum-inspired solvers are setting a new benchmark in simulation technology, bridging today\u2019s computational limits and the quantum-ready future,\u201d said\u00a0Abhishek Chopra, BQP\u2019s Founder, CEO<\/a>, and Chief Scientific Officer. \u201cThe traction we\u2019re experiencing from AFRL\/RQ and industry-leading design partners validates the immediate impact and substantial ROI our platform delivers today. We\u2019re also making significant R&D progress in quantum-native solvers for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Machine Learning (ML), paving the way for future simulation workload for the next generation of data centers where HPC and quantum computers operate side by side.\u201d<\/p>\n The round was led by\u00a0<\/a>Monta Vista Capital<\/a>, with participation from Empire State Development\u2019s\u00a0New York Ventures<\/a>,\u00a0New York State\u2019s\u00a0venture capital arm,\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>Arc Ventures<\/a>,\u00a0<\/a>Armory Square Ventures<\/a>,\u00a0<\/a>Emergent Ventures<\/a>,\u00a0Alumni Ventures<\/a>,\u00a0Arka Venture Labs<\/a>,\u00a0Transpose Platform<\/a>,\u00a0Gainangels<\/a>, and\u00a0Pranatech Venture Capital<\/a>. The round also saw participation from key angel investors and existing investors, including\u00a0Paradigm Shift Capital<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Griffiss Institute,<\/a>\u00a0as part of the\u00a0Mojave Aerospace Accelerator Fund<\/a>. Chopra added, \u201cWe\u2019re grateful to those who believed in us and our vision! This funding enables us to accelerate the development of our quantum-powered digital twin framework with these design partners and further expand our footprint in A&D and semiconductor industries.\u201d<\/p>\n Total funding raised by the company now stands at\u00a0$6.6 million. \u201cBQP directly tackles critical bottlenecks in the rapidly evolving\u00a0$22 billion\u00a0simulation industry, where conventional technologies have struggled to keep pace with innovation demands in sectors like Aerospace & Defense, Semiconductor, and Energy,\u201d said\u00a0Roger Krakoff, Partner at\u00a0Monta Vista Capital<\/a>. \u201cTheir quantum-powered framework is positioned to become foundational infrastructure in the simulation ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n Built for hybrid architectures \u2013 CPUs, GPUs, and quantum computers \u2013 BQPhy\u2019s current version relies on quantum-inspired solvers, enabling a 10X performance boost today on existing CPU\/GPU. With their future quantum-native solvers, the customers can experience up to 1000X gains on forthcoming quantum computers.<\/p>\n In addition to the AFRL\/RQ, BQP\u2019s design partners include three major Aerospace and Defense companies, including the largest Tier-I Aerospace manufacturer, the Indian Ministry of Heavy Industries, ABB, and major aerospace players.<\/p>\n BQP\u2019s solvers can be utilized independently or in a unification as a Digital Twin framework as part of its platform. BQP\u2019s overarching vision is to make BQPhy \u201cthe BlackRock of the simulation world,\u201d acting as the backend platform that seamlessly integrates into existing simulation workflows and software, as well as optimized for the hybrid computing architectures\u2014CPUs, GPUs, and Quantum Computers\u2014that define the future of data centers.<\/p>\n BQP is actively working with leading quantum ecosystem partners, including Intel, IBM, Classiq, Strangeworks, and members of the\u00a0NORDTECH Hub<\/a>. The company will also appear at\u00a0AIAA Aviation<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Las Vegas\u00a0and\u00a0ASME Fluids Engineering<\/a>\u00a0in July, where Chopra will speak on quantum applications in simulation.<\/p>\n To explore BQP\u2019s quantum-accelerated Digital Twin platform or request a demo, visit\u00a0<\/a>bqpsim.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n ABOUT BQP<\/p>\n
