Quantum-Inspired Software Shatters Engineering Bottlenecks: BQP and Modovolo Are Rewriting the Aerospace Design Playbook

Powered by BQP’s advanced computing platform, drone manufacturer Modovolo bypasses long design cycles to achieve state-of-the-art performance and scale physical hardware at unprecedented speeds.

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BQP, a leader in quantum-accelerated simulation software, and Modovolo, a drone manufacturer building high-performance drones at radically-reduced cost, today announced a milestone in how quantum-inspired computing is disrupting heavy engineering.

By integrating BQPhy into Modovolo’s pipeline, the companies bypassed the trial-and-error bottlenecks that plague heavy engineering, achieving state-of-the-art UAV performance in a fraction of the usual development window and gaining a scalable framework for future designs.

The real barrier in A&D isn’t a single simulation’s speed, it’s the trial-and-error process, as traditional CFD and structural tools limit engineers to testing only a handful of designs. BQPhy’s QuantumNOW solver runs quantum-inspired algorithms on existing HPC/GPU infrastructure, compressing tens of thousands of simulations into a fraction of the usual time and compute.

“This isn’t about making a single simulation marginally faster; it’s about total design-space exploration,” said Abhishek Chopra, Founder and CEO of BQP. “By running thousands of simulations simultaneously, BQPhy eliminates the traditional trial-and-error bottleneck. It gives forward-thinking manufacturers like Modovolo the power to discover radically optimized geometries that were previously computationally invisible, moving from software output to physical testing at a pace the industry hasn’t seen before.”

Modovolo’s “performance-to-cost” philosophy, maximizing flight time and payload while cutting cost, shaped its new, patent-pending 3D-printed propellers, optimized using BQPhy.

“We have developed our own genetic algorithms for propeller optimization, which has produced some very high-efficiency designs,” explains Justin Call, Co-Founder and CEO of Modovolo. “But relying on traditional optimization methods was incredibly time-intensive, due to the extremely large number of potential three-dimensional geometries for the propeller. Not only in terms of the number of man-hours but also in terms of compute, running them on our local servers would take many days to get to a single design, and more often than not, that design made no sense as calculations would get trapped in a ‘local minima.’ This would force us to re-run everything, and that could take weeks of work.”

“Propeller design is particularly difficult with existing tools because, in addition to being an error-prone, lengthy process, these existing tools only consider a small number of variables. But a propeller blade has an infinite number of variables. At each point on the blade there are different stress points, aerodynamic considerations, performance changes. In order to truly increase performance, you need to contemplate all of these variables,” explains Arion Mangio, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Modovolo. “BQPhy enabled us with the computational muscle, to explore an unprecedented number of design variables at once, solving our immediate performance bottlenecks and giving us a scalable engine to tackle our next generation of complex UAV systems.”

Call added: “We had developed a proprietary process for 3D printing highly affordable propellers, but maximizing their performance through traditional tools was a slow, uphill battle. BQPhy acted as a true force multiplier, giving us a massive competitive leap in UAV market. With the BQP-developed propellers were are seeing large increases in flight time and payload lift capacity.”

As fellow NY Ventures portfolio companies, BQP and Modovolo show deep-tech reshaping New York’s manufacturing landscape, proof the quantum era’s first ROI is happening now.

By

SYDNEY, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TMGM and Chelsea Football Club today announced the extension of their partnership into a fourth year, with the collaboration expanding beyond Asia-Pacific into the Middle East.

Since 2023, TMGM has served as Chelsea FC’s Official Online Forex and CFD Trading Partner in Asia-Pacific. The extension advances a partnership spanning matchday visibility, original content and fan engagement.

Three Years of Shared Momentum

In 2026, the partnership reached a milestone when TMGM branding appeared on the back of Chelsea men’s match shirts during the FA Cup – a first in the club’s history. TMGM also joined Chelsea FC’s 2026 Asia-Pacific Pre-Season Tour as an Official Partner, with open training, pitch-side access and post-match tunnel experiences. The tour included a visit by Chelsea players Cole Palmer and João Pedro to TMGM’s Sydney headquarters.

Earlier in 2026, TMGM presented The Famous CFC in Bangkok, where hundreds of supporters attended a live match screening and an exclusive appearance by former Chelsea captain John Terry.

These milestones formed part of a wider programme of premium home-match hospitality, behind-the-scenes visits at Cobham and player-led content under TMGM’s “Trade like a lion” campaign.

A Broader Platform for Year Four

In year four, TMGM’s expanded regional rights will support brand visibility at Chelsea home fixtures, original content featuring players and legends, regional digital campaigns and a China-focused performance series. The programme will also continue through The Famous CFC in selected markets and offer TMGM clients further hospitality and behind-the-scenes access across Chelsea’s matchday, stadium and training environments.

“Over three years, our relationship with Chelsea FC has evolved from regional activations to high-profile moments, including visibility on the club’s FA Cup shirts and its Asia-Pacific tour,” said TMGM. “Entering our fourth year and extending into the Middle East creates opportunities to connect with more audiences through experiences that reflect the ambition of both organisations.”

Chelsea Football Club said: “TMGM has focused on bringing its clients and our supporters closer to the club through digital-first content and in-person events across Asia-Pacific to great effect. We are pleased to extend the partnership into a fourth year and look forward to building on its momentum across the region and also the Middle East.”

By

VICTOR, Mont., Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ridgeway Pharmacy, Ltd. (“Ridgeway”) is providing notice of an incident involving its pharmacy website, which was developed by a third-party vendor. Ridgeway identified operational issues on the website and promptly began an investigation with the assistance of external cybersecurity and forensic specialists. That investigation determined that a vulnerability in the vendor-supported website allowed an unknown third party to access the site using elevated privileges, and that certain information may have been accessible as a result. On August 21, 2026, Ridgeway determined that the information potentially involved may have included name, date of birth, address, prescription information, health information, insurance information, and, for a portion of the individuals, payment card information. Importantly, at no time did this incident involve Ridgeway’s internal systems.

Ridgeway takes the privacy and security of information seriously and holds the third parties that support its services to that same standard. Upon learning of this matter, Ridgeway secured and remediated the affected website, stood up a new platform, further restricted access, strengthened monitoring, implemented additional protections against unauthorized activity, and reported the incident to federal law enforcement.

Written notice has been mailed to individuals whose information may have been involved, and out of an abundance of caution Ridgeway is offering complimentary identity protection services through TransUnion, a leading identity protection provider. As a general precaution, individuals are encouraged to review their account statements, health plan explanations of benefits, and credit reports for any unfamiliar activity, to enroll in the complimentary services described in their notification letter, and to report any unusual activity to their financial institution.
