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

Published

on

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.

The First Cartridge-Free Smart Waterless Diffuser Is Here. What Would You Fill It With?

Published

By

Lephrone set out to solve a frustration for customers who want smart control over their home fragrance and the freedom to choose their own oils. The H300 is the first waterless diffuser to combine cartridge-free refills, Wi-Fi app control, smart home integration, and an in-app fragrance oil library with scanning and personal notes. Customers can use their favorite compatible oils, create their own blends, and use the app to set a scenting schedule and track how much oil is left.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — “There are thousands of fragrance oils out there, so why lock yourself into just one brand?” said a Lephrone developer.

“Lephrone took the best of the diffuser world and left the worst behind.”

We wanted to make a device for people who need a ritual to unwind and want more control over their surroundings. There’s a whole world of sensory experiences out there, and our goal was to bring the way you manage scent at home into the digital world.

With the H300 lephrone diffuser, we kept what we liked about smart cartridge-based diffusers: Wi-Fi connectivity, lephrone app, voice control, and the ability to recognize oils and track how much is left. We made sure it supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. We also did away with what frustrated us most: never-ending subscriptions, cartridges that run out too quickly, and limits on which oils you can use. With the H300, you get to choose the oils you want and create blends you love.

We also added support for multiple users and multiple diffusers, so everyone in the household can control the devices and set schedules. The H300 can run even when it’s offline.

We’re releasing our own fragrances, too. In the app, you can scan them into your personal fragrance library and write down how a scent made you feel, whether you liked it, and what others at home thought of it. That matters because after trying a few oils, it’s easy to forget which one you loved most or which one everyone else kept asking for.

We’re rolling this out to more Lephrone models next. Stay tuned.
