Infleqtion Supports US Grid Research
Infleqtion to help improve US electrical grid resilience
more on INFQ Infleqtion, a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, announced that Eaton, a global power management company, selected Infleqtion to support new research evaluating how quantum computing can improve the resilience of the U.S. electrical grid.
As part of an Eaton award from the Air Force Research Laboratory (ARFL), Infleqtion received a subcontract to apply quantum computing hardware to support grid contingency analysis.
Infleqtion and Eaton aim to advance reliability analysis used by utilities to predict and prevent cascading power outages. "Grid reliability is a large-scale optimization challenge that pushes the limits of today's classical systems," said Pranav Gokhale, CTO at Infleqtion. "This program allows us to explore how quantum algorithms and error-corrected quantum hardware could support faster, more accurate analysis of grid vulnerabilities to improve how we evaluate failures, reduce blackout risk, and strengthen critical U.S. infrastructure."
