Project description

Accelerating green mobility with the first-ever quantum/AI platform for multiphysics simulations

Fuel cells and batteries are essential components of Europe’s green mobility transition. Accelerating the design of advanced systems requires comprehensive and accurate multiphysics simulations enabling analyses of the effects of multiple simultaneous physical processes including heat transfer, fluid dynamics, structural dynamics, electromagnetic fields and acoustics. The European Innovation Council-funded Qu&Co-Flow project will develop the world’s first hybrid quantum/AI software platform for multiphysics simulations, the first software able to perform realistic simulations of battery and fuel cell performance and degradation processes, as well as aerodynamics simulations. Its utility will be exponentially increased thanks to its ability to be seamlessly integrated into leading simulation software.

Objective

This project will develop Qu&Co-Flow: the world’s first hybrid Quantum/AI software platform for multiphysics simulations. Qu&Co-Flow integrates the most advanced simulation algorithms and deploys them to accelerate Europe’s transition towards sustainable mobility. Qu&Co-Flow will be the first software capable of performing realistic battery/fuel cell performance and degradation and aerodynamics simulations. Further, it can be seamlessly integrated into standard simulation software by leading vendors.
