‘Europe’s Most Advanced’ Quantum Computing Software Developer Riverlane Secures \u00a33.25m Funding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Europe\u2019s most advanced quantum computing software developer,\u00a0Riverlane<\/a>, has raised \u00a33.25m in seed funding, led by venture capital investors Cambridge Innovation Capital<\/a> and Amadeus Capital Partners<\/a>, with the participation of Cambridge Enterprise.<\/p>\n

Riverlane is building a simulation engine for microscopic systems to replace expensive laboratory tests with computer simulation. Riverlane\u2019s software leverages the capabilities of the quantum computer, which operates using the principles of quantum mechanics. In the same way that graphics processing units (GPUs) accelerate machine learning workloads, Riverlane uses quantum computers to accelerate the simulation of quantum systems.<\/p>\n

The company is working with leading academics and companies on critical early use cases for its software, such as developing new battery materials and drug treatments. Riverlane will use its seed funding to demonstrate its technology across a range of quantum computing hardware platforms, focused on early adopters in materials design and drug discovery. It will also expand its team of quantum software researchers and computational physicists.<\/p>\n

Steve Brierley, CEO of Riverlane, said: \u201cThis seed funding allows us to accelerate our work at a critical time in the development of quantum computers. Computers are central to the design of many new products but when we try to model systems at the level of individual atoms, the rules that govern their behaviour are fundamentally different. Even huge supercomputers are limited to approximations. As a result, the design of new drugs and materials remains primarily a laboratory, rather than a computational, exercise. Riverlane\u2019s software aims to unleash the huge potential of quantum computers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Andrew Williamson, Managing Partner at CIC added, \u201cRiverlane is changing the way we think about computation at the most fundamental level.\u00a0Steve and his team are developing state-of-the-art algorithms that can run on a range of quantum computing hardware platforms. These algorithms can be applied to a number of applications such as drug\u2013protein interactions, biomolecule folding and materials science at a molecular level.\u00a0This is the sort of cutting-edge technology at which Cambridge excels and at CIC we are delighted to be involved with such an exciting company from the outset.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Amelia Armour, Principal, Amadeus Capital Partners, said: \u201cAmadeus has a long history of supporting deep tech businesses in Cambridge and we\u2019ve been impressed by Riverlane\u2019s progress. Steve has brought together an impressive team of experts in maths, computer science, chemistry, physics and materials science who share a passion for driving innovation in quantum computing. We\u2019re pleased to support the company as it seeks to demonstrate the commercial value of its unique software.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Riverlane was founded by Dr Steve Brierley, Senior Research Fellow in Applied Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.
