Quantum Week 2021 Unveils the Latest in Quantum Computing and Engineering - PRNewswire

Using Zapatas quantum workflows platform, Orquestra, KAUST will explore how quantum computing can simulate and optimize the aerodynamic design process for vehicles

BOSTON, March 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zapata Computing, Inc., the leading enterprise software company for NISQ-based quantum applications, today announced a new partnership with Middle East-based King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) to be a licensed user of Zapatas Orquestra, the modular, workflow-based platform for applied quantum computing. KAUST is examining various lines of research to determine how quantum technologies could represent an advantage over classical compute tools in a variety of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) use cases for airplane and automobile aerodynamic design.

Currently, CFD computations are extremely time-consuming and expensive to run. The simulation process is inefficient, and a lot of time is wasted trying to model air flow around wings and engines more efficiently. Boosting work around those designs could allow manufacturers to build more energy-efficient airplanes and lead to lowered carbon emissions for air travel therefore, having an enormous positive impact on the environment. Airplane transportation is overall responsible for 2% of greenhouse gas emissions. For airlines and plane manufacturers this could drive meaningful financial and environmental results all supported by new quantum technology.

Home to the KAUST Research and Technology Park (KRTP) where R&D centers, corporates and start-ups choose to locate themselves, the university has a track record of collaborating with industry partners at national and international levels to transfer research-based technology into the market to achieve public benefit.

We are delighted to be the catalyst for bringing quantum capabilities to CFD research in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to the Middle East, said Kevin Cullen, vice president of Innovation and Economic Development at KAUST. This partnership establishes Zapata as one of the first quantum computing companies active in the region and will enable KAUST researchers to explore the future of aerospace fluid dynamics. KAUST is a leader in the areas of data analysis and AI and we welcome the addition of Zapatas Orquestra technology to our capabilities, in order to accelerate discovery and innovation in these fields.

Zapatas Orquestra platform improves data analytics performance, empowering companies and research organizations to build quantum-enabled workflows, execute them across the full range of quantum and classical devices, and then collect and analyze resulting data. With Orquestra, organizations can leverage quantum capabilities to generate augmented data sets, speed up data analysis, and construct better data models for a range of applications. Importantly, it provides organizations with the most flexible, applied toolset in quantum computing so that its users can build quantum capabilities without getting locked in with a single vendor or architecture in the next several years.

We are always looking to expand quantum computing use cases through Orquestra and our work with KAUST will give us a head start to explore new opportunities for more efficient CFD, said Christopher Savoie, co-founder and CEO, Zapata. The collaboration with KAUST will benefit the aerospace industry as a whole by using quantum to bring efficiency to what has historically been a slow and difficult process.

About Zapata Computing Zapata Computing, Inc. builds quantum-ready applications for enterprise deployment through our flagship product Orquestra the only workflow-based toolset for enterprise quantum computing.

Zapata and KAUST to bring quantum computing to the region - Construction Business News

Former Vice President Mike Pence held back tears as he bade an emotional farewell to his previous office and re-entered private life after arriving back home in Indiana.

Speaking at a welcome rally for the ex-VP upon his arrival on Air Force Two in his hometown of Columbus, Ind., Wednesday, Pence repeatedly paused to collect himself as he thanked those who supported him in his time in public office.

While thanking those who attended his homecoming at the outset of his remarks, Pences voice quivered as he told the crowd, It is great to be back home again.

Pence, who was taken to Indiana directly from Wednesdays inauguration, went on to congratulate President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on their swearing-in before turning his attention to former President Donald Trump.

Pences relationship with Trump soured in recent months, with issues coming to a head during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

The Electoral Collegewent 306-232 for Biden, but Trump alleged that widespread fraud had tipped the results in swing states.

Courts rejected those claims, and Trump refused to concede, though in the aftermath of the riots, he pledged a peaceful transition of power.

For his part, Pence faced considerable pushback from Trump for declining to challenge certain swing-state electoral votes to turn the election in their favor in his capacity as president of the Senate.

Even as the riots flared, Trump took to Twitter to complain that the veep didnt have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.

The entire incident brought their relationship to a head, with Pence reportedly leaving furious at the then-presidents behavior.

Despite that, Pence had nothing but kind words for his former boss after touching down in the Hoosier State.

Let me also take a moment to thank President Trump and Melania for all theyve done to make America great. I will always be grateful for the opportunity that they gave us to serve and the way they allowed us to make a difference in the life of this nation, he said.

Pence declined to acknowledge any speculation of him mounting a possible 2024 presidential run, though his name continues to come up as a potential candidate.

What he would admit about his plans for the future involved his lodgings, saying he and former second lady Karen Pence were returning home to Indiana full-time.

The two plan to be fully moved back to their home state by the summer.
