Problem
Numerical simulation workflows in industries like aerospace, defense, energy, and semiconductors are hitting computational ceilings that classical infrastructure cannot raise on its own. Multi-physics phenomena interacting across vastly different spatial and temporal scales create computational demands that exceed what classical computing can handle, while design optimization requires repeated simulation cycles that multiply computational requirements. Additionally, many industrial problems lack the datasets needed to replace physics-based simulation with purely data-driven AI methods.
Solution
ColibriTD provides a quantum-powered multiphysics simulation platform built around H-DES, a proprietary hybrid quantum-classical algorithm designed to solve partial differential equations (PDEs)—the mathematical backbone of multiphysics simulation governing fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetic behavior, and financial risk modeling. The platform is hardware-agnostic, running across IBM, AWS Braket, IQM, IonQ, and Quobly, enabling enterprises to access quantum capability without being tied to any single provider. ColibriTD has completed seven co-construction projects across six sectors including defense, aerospace, space and climate science, semiconductor design, nuclear energy, automotive engineering, and quantitative finance, demonstrating that quantum simulation is a present industrial capability rather than a future promise. The company's QUICK-PDE Qiskit Function is available in the Qiskit Function Catalog for IBM Quantum Premium and Flex Plan users, providing domain experts with tools to explore quantum-classical workflows for computationally costly challenges.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering and scientific teams in aerospace, defense, energy, semiconductors, automotive, and quantitative finance who need to solve computationally intensive multiphysics simulation problems that exceed classical computing capabilities.
