Solving Aerodynamics Problems With Quantum Computers

CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — Washington DC 2026

William Steadman · Quanscient

We present the results of the largest CFD simulations to date deployed on IBM and IonQ quantum hardware through our ongoing collaborations across the aerospace, maritime, and automotive sectors. We will explore the critical trade-offs quantum computing introduces to computational design in aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, while demonstrating how these advancements are being integrated into Quanscient’s multiphysics software.
