Nullspace simulation software accelerating quantum computing development
Electronics360
Computer-aided engineering software company Nullspace, Inc., announces the new release of Nullspace ES, the world's only commercial simulation software for extremely large scale, rapid and accurate design and analysis of ion traps for quantum computing applications.
Historically, the lack of robust design tools and complex experiments forced engineers to develop relatively simple ion trap architectures. Legacy simulation tools are not purpose-built for ion trap design, and lead to higher prototyping costs and longer production schedules, limiting the accuracy and scalability of ion trap designs and thus limiting advancements in quantum computing.
Nullspace ES was developed by top electromagnetics and ion trap design experts. Today it is used by leading companies and universities spearheading innovation in ion trap-based technology for quantum computers.
The latest release of Nullspace ES, along with its CAD design and meshing companion tool, Nullspace Prep, includes a new, faster and more efficient meshing algorithm. Meshing is a key step to ensure users obtain high accuracy results. Nullspace's meshing technology is tailored for the ion trap community and efficiency in both meshing time and meshing quality gives users confidence in high accuracy results leading to reduced prototyping demands.
Nullspace ES 2024 R1 provides powerful geometric symmetry features including planar and rotational symmetries. The new release adds double ground plane symmetries, and these features can be used in combination. Leveraging Nullspace's new symmetry workflows can speed up simulations and reduce memory requirements by factors of up to 16X for ion trap simulations.
The newest Nullspace ES release adds support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, expanding support for all current Red Hat and Ubuntu-based Linux operating systems.
