Quanscient Oy is a Finnish software company that develops cloud-native multiphysics simulation software and researches quantum algorithms for engineering applications. The company is headquartered in Tampere, Finland, and was founded in 2021 by Juha Riippi, Valtteri Lahtinen, Alexandre Halbach, and Asser Lähdemäki.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

Quanscient was established in 2021 in Tampere, Finland. [1][3]

In April 2023, the company raised €3.9 million in seed financing led by Maki.vc, with participation and non‑equity support from Business Finland.[4][5][6]

In November 2024, Quanscient raised €5.2 million in growth funding led by Crowberry Capital, with participation from Speen Holding, Maki.vc, and First Fellow Partners.[7][8][9]

In May 2026, Quanscient raised €10 million in Series A funding led by 55 North and B&C Group, with participation from existing investors Maki.vc, Crowberry Capital, QAI Ventures, and First Fellow Partners.[10][11][12]

Products and technology

[edit]

Quanscient’s main product is Quanscient Allsolve, a cloud‑based FEM multiphysics simulation platform.[13][14] The software has been utilized in academic and industrial research, such as in the modeling of ultrasound transducer chip designs and high-temperature superconductor (HTS) stellarator coils for fusion reactors.[15][16]

Quantum algorithm research

[edit]

Quanscient Quantum Labs has worked on quantum‑classical approaches for computational fluid dynamics. In 2025, IQM reported a demonstration by Quanscient of a 3D advection–diffusion simulation using the quantum lattice Boltzmann method on IQM’s 54‑qubit Emerald processor.[17][18]

In February 2025, Quanscient partnered with Airbus and Oxford Ionics as part of the UK National Quantum Computing Centre's SparQ programme. The project applies Quanscient's algorithms and Oxford Ionics' hardware to computational fluid dynamics simulations for airfoil and aerodynamic modeling.[19]

In April 2026, Quanscient and quantum middleware developer Haiqu executed a 15-step nonlinear fluid simulation around a solid obstacle using an IBM Heron R3 processor.[20][21] The companies described the demonstration as the most physically complex quantum computational fluid dynamics simulation run on real hardware to date.[22] The simulation utilized their co-developed One-Step Simplified Lattice Boltzmann Method (OSSLBM) to reduce circuit depth, allowing the system to model fluid behavior interacting with a solid boundary.[23][22]

Awards and recognition

[edit]

In 2023, WIRED listed Quanscient among the “Hottest Startups in Helsinki.”[1]

In January 2024, Fujitsu announced Quanscient as the first‑prize winner of the Fujitsu $100,000 Quantum Simulator Challenge.[24]
