Morgantown, Va. — December 18, 2025 — Leads & Copy — QubitSolve Inc. has been awarded a $1,197,002 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to accelerate the development of its computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for quantum computers.
According to QubitSolve, this positions the company as a leader in bringing one of the first industrial applications of quantum computing to market. The company’s next-generation quantum CFD software, developed in Phase I and advancing in Phase II, overcomes limits and empowers engineers to solve problems once thought impossible.
Erwin Gianchandani, NSF Assistant Director for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships, said that NSF accelerates the translation of emerging technologies into transformative new products and services, and that they take great pride in funding deep-technology startups and small businesses that will shape science and engineering results into meaningful solutions.
CFD plays a vital role across various industries, including aerospace, defense, automotive, and energy, enabling engineers to model fluid flow and optimize designs without the need for costly physical testing. Many complex simulations remain beyond the reach of even the most advanced supercomputers.
Dr. Madhava Syamlal, Founder and CEO of QubitSolve, said that their software will unlock simulations previously out of reach, which will allow engineers to improve product performance while reducing development time and cost.
Pranav Gokhale, CTO, Infleqtion, said that high-fidelity CFD is one of the most computationally demanding workloads in science and engineering, and by pairing their quantum software expertise with QubitSolve’s purpose-built CFD algorithms, they’re pushing beyond the limits of classical simulation and opening the door to faster, more accurate design cycles.
QubitSolve is also partnering with academic and industrial researchers, including opportunities for student interns, to help build a new STEM workforce skilled in quantum computing—supporting U.S. leadership in this rapidly advancing field.
QubitSolve is a startup headquartered in Morgantown, WV, and is pioneering the application of quantum computing to computational fluid dynamics (CFD). By leveraging variational quantum algorithms to address the Navier–Stokes equations, QubitSolve aims to enable high-fidelity simulations of complex fluid flows that are beyond the capabilities of classical computing. The company’s initial focus is on aerospace and defense applications in North America. A minimum viable product is currently under development, with completion expected in late 2027.
