Technology development for quantum: A university-industry applied research project

The growing interest in the quantum realm has contributed to the creation of many startups working to make the next strides in quantum computing. Many big-name companies like Microsoft and IBM have made great strides in this realm. There are now easier ways to work with quantum because of the cloud quantum computers that are now available, for example, Azure Quantum. But physical quantum computers are less accessible because of their size and cooling requirements. We at Guided Particle are working in partnership with other research groups (Purdue University for example) to create a small form quantum source. We are currently working on our quantum source, and creating a smaller form than has been done by other research groups. The end goal is to have an underwater drone that is self-sufficient and running on quantum. It would have the ability to create fluid models using fluid dynamic modeling and be able to measure contaminants in water. But with this iteration of the project, I focused on quantum computing and quantum computing for fluid dynamics
