PRESS RELEASE — Nanoacademic Technologies, a renowned provider of digital simulation and modeling tools for computational materials science and quantum technologies, and qBraid, a cloud-based quantum computing platform providing access to quantum devices, software development tools, and computational resources, today announced a landmark partnership to make Nanoacademic’s advanced simulation software accessible seamlessly to researchers, educators, and organizations worldwide.
The collaboration marks an important step toward lowering the barriers to advanced materials simulation. By combining Nanoacademic’s specialized modeling software with qBraid’s established cloud-based platform, users will be able to access high-performance computational tools more easily within a bring your own license (BYOL) mode first.
Nanoacademic’s large-scale Density Functional Theory (DFT) software solutions consisting of RESCU and NanoDCAL, which are capable of simulating complex and large atomic systems, are now powered with a unique and innovative agentic modeling assistant named LatticeMind. LatticeMind is the first of its kind to construct and organize such simulation workflows, helping researchers move from complex material models to interpretable first-principles results faster and with improved traceability. This enables them to spend more time interpreting the physics and less time manually assembling, debugging, and documenting simulation input files.
This unique-on-the-market combination enables users to considerably simplify the traditional DFT workflow with convenient natural language prompts, automatically iterating, correcting, and outputting the desired material parameters while benefiting from the full range of qBraid’s platform services. Through this partnership, these tools will become more readily available to users without the complexity of local installation, infrastructure management, or specialized IT deployment. In addition, qBraid services will offer access to the best CPUs and GPUs available on the market to users who need scalable computational resources with faster simulation times.
For academic groups, startups and private industrial R&D teams, the partnership creates a streamlined path to perform sophisticated simulations in a cloud environment. Users will be able to leverage Nanoacademic’s software to investigate material properties, model nanoscale devices, and support the design and optimization of advanced materials and emerging quantum hardware, while benefiting from qBraid’s accessible platform and computational infrastructure.
“For decades, computational materials science has suffered from two major bottlenecks: difficult access to computing hardware, and a steep learning curve requiring Ph. D.-level expertise to configure and run DFT simulations”, said Dr. Félix Beaudoin, CEO of Nanoacademic Technologies. “This partnership eliminates both hurdles by providing turnkey access to our state-of-the-art DFT software on qBraid’s world-class cloud platform, while enabling users to interact in natural language with an AI agent that automatically validates, setups, launches, and post-processes simulation workflows.”
"Nanoacademic builds some of the most powerful simulation tools available for materials and quantum device research," said Kanav Setia, CEO of qBraid. "This partnership is about giving researchers one place where the best classical simulation tools and quantum methods coexist, so they can move fluidly between DFT, quantum transport, and emerging quantum hardware without ever leaving the platform."
By bridging Canadian physics software with American cloud infrastructure, Nanoacademic and qBraid are co-authoring the future of materials design, putting elite, frictionless simulation tools into the hands of innovators worldwide.
