The World's First Quantum-Powered Simulation Platform Accelerating Complex Simulations | Seamless Backend IntegrationCurrent simulations are slow, expensive, and inaccurate, limiting the ability to run enough simulations for reliable solutions. These issues stem from outdated algorithms and will be further constrained by computing power in the future. Due to these constraints, an estimated 70% of analyses remain unexplored, introducing risk and stifling innovation by preventing organizations from fully exploring complex scenarios and optimizing products.BosonQ Psi (BQP) has developed quantum-inspired algorithms that bridge the gap between high-performance computing and quantum information science. The platform, BQPhy®, accelerates complex simulations, reducing time, accuracy inefficiencies, cost, and development cycles. BQPhy® tightly coupled solvers and quantum-inspired algorithms provide 10x results today on high-power computers without quantum hardware. Built for adaptability, BQPhy® will seamlessly transition to quantum-native systems, future-proofing solutions and providing 1,000x results. BQPhy® integrates advanced solvers for engineering optimization (e.g., design, route, load balancing), physics-based modeling (e.g., computational fluid dynamics), and data-driven (e.g., AI/ML) simulations. Seamlessly fitting into existing engineering workflows, BQPhy® accelerates time-to-market, cuts costs, and improves product performance. *Use case example: the data-driven solver for AI/ML applications achieved higher accuracy results with 99% fewer trainable parameters and 6x fewer iterations than traditional methods for a computer vision and surface defect detection use case.
