The same measurement that ranked four photoresist formulations in the right order on a quantum processor applies to battery and lightweight materials, airframe and propulsion materials, formulation additives and excipients: candidates ranked with the energy gap each ranking rests on, before synthesis.
Headline result
4 of 4 ranked correctly
four of four formulations ranked correctly on IBM Heron, every energy difference within 0.3% of the exact reference

01 · The decision
The decision on the table
In every one of these industries the next candidate is chosen by making it and testing it: a pilot batch, a bench quarter, a coupon test. The energy differences that decide the ranking are often below what the test resolves.
02 · What we did
What we did, with proprietary methods
Candidate structures or active spaces are modelled with our chemistry solver and ranked on quantum hardware as same-run comparisons, so the machine’s shared errors cancel and the ranking holds at sub-percent energy differences. The measurement to date is on the photoresist screen; the other material classes are the same lane with the same status.

Outcome
What happened next
For a client, the next step is the first engagement on this page’s industry: you send two to twelve candidate structures, or the active space from the package you already run. You get back the ranking, the gaps, and whether your DFT already settles it. Two weeks.

How we know
01Formulation ranking: four of four in exact order, every energy difference within 0.3% (IBM Heron, 156 qubits).
02Energies read as frequencies: 0.0029% against 0.53% for the standard read on the same chip; same-run comparisons at 0.33 mHa against a 19.5 mHa median.
03Live with a formulation partner on long-acting injectables.
04Not claimed: a measured ranking on a battery, airframe or excipient set yet; those are the same lane, listed as live because the measurement is the same, with the first screen on your candidates as the engagement.
