BIRD Foundation Backs Qarakal Quantum and Quantum Elements for Quantum-Accelerated Catalysis Modeling

The BIRD Foundation has awarded a conditional grant to Qarakal Quantum and Quantum Elements for a joint quantum computational chemistry project. This initiative aims to develop a platform using quantum algorithms to accurately simulate heterogeneous surface catalysis, overcoming limitations of classical supercomputing. The goal is to provide predictive tools for chemical manufacturers to design and refine industrial catalysts, with grant decisions for the next cycle scheduled for March 2027. The
