The Mondrian Phasecraft Unveils Mondrian: Quantum-Enhanced Software Shows Commercial Potential

Quantum-driven optimization is now possible. Last night at the Royal Society, Phasecraft, the world's leading quantum algorithm provider, unveiled Mondrian, a revolutionary software platform that speeds up classical optimisation for difficult industrial problems in logistics, finance, and energy. Senior government officials and corporate executives attended the launch, which marked a turning point for industries that need to solve large, complex optimization problems quickly. Phasecraft's first quantum-enhanced software platform is Mondrian. It introduces a hybrid paradigm that blends the reliability of classical algorithms with the raw processing capability of quantum processors. The platform's main innovation is this “quantum-enhanced” strategy.

Hybrid Innovation: Quantum Exploration and Classical Robustness

Current technology is too “noisy” and small to solve problems on a quantum chip, which is the major hurdle facing commercial quantum computing. Mondrian cleverly exploits this limitation. The platform uses a hybrid workflow to deliver quantum algorithm results into classical routines without fault-tolerant quantum computers. Due to its ability to quickly and simultaneously explore enormous solution domains, the quantum processor excels at exploration. For a difficult combinatorial optimization problem, this quantum subroutine could generate many solutions. The classical component takes over if it is stable and scalable. This portion evaluates the quantum device's solutions, eliminates those that are unworkable, and improves the best ones. The quantum speed-up during the search phase benefits the system as a whole, but our method ensures that the final answer meets all real-world requirements. Preliminary benchmarks suggest this hybrid technique will significantly reduce processing time. This method has outperformed classical solvers by three orders of magnitude for some benchmark problems.

Smarter Greener Grid Optimization

The energy network is Mondrian's first exciting use case, the type of large-scale optimisation challenge it was designed to solve. Due to rising demand, renewable energy output, and demand for better infrastructure, the UK power system is particularly complex. Phasecraft developed Mondrian with UK National Energy System Operator (NESO). The platform was upgraded to support grid operators with certain critical operational tasks due to this collaboration: Power exchange calculations determine the optimum way to distribute electricity throughout the complex network to reduce energy losses and balance supply and demand. Wilful islanding determines whether grid subsets can be segregated during system failures to maintain stability and minimize disruption. Solar and wind power installations and sensors should be placed to maximize long-term efficacy and efficiency. The platform had an immediate and considerable impact in initial tests. Mondrian outperformed standard methods by 1,000 times in these real use scenarios examined with NESO. We solved a power exchange problem in less than ten minutes that normally takes hours. This allows operators to respond faster and more flexibly to operational changes and market signals. By enhancing network performance, minimizing energy losses, and strategically positioning assets, Mondrian helps build a stronger, cheaper, and greener grid.
