Get Expert Support for Quantum Hardware Design
Quantum systems can only function when supported by exceptionally robust hardware environments. That means near-zero thermal variation, minimal mechanical vibration, ultra-low electromagnetic noise, and precise RF and photonic designs. Ansys provides the simulation depth to engineer these critical conditions—ensuring your systems are reliable, scalable, and ready for the future of quantum computing.

Where We've Helped
Still trying to decide?
Here are our most frequently asked questions.
Can you simulate our specific quantum hardware architecture?
We routinely model the supporting hardware for ion traps, superconducting circuits, neutral-atom arrays, photonic chips, and cryogenic / vacuum infrastructure. We focus on EM, thermal, structural, and photonic behavior so you can validate design choices before building hardware.
Can you co-simulate electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical behavior in one workflow?
Yes. We build multiphysics workflows that couple EM fields, power dissipation, thermal transport, and structural deformation. That’s especially useful for things like RF delivery to ion traps, superconducting resonator design, high-density wiring, and photonic components that must stay aligned under varying loads and temperatures.
Can you help us improve qubit coherence and system stability?
Indirectly, yes. We can’t simulate quantum states themselves, but we can identify classical noise sources—thermal fluctuations, EM cross-talk, vibration, package stress, laser heating—that degrade coherence. We then propose design changes and operating conditions to reduce those noise pathways.
Do we have to own Ansys licenses, or can you run everything for us?
Both options are possible. We can run studies entirely as a consulting engagement, help you stand up your own Ansys toolchain, or do a hybrid approach where we build templates and workflows your team can reuse in-house.
What does a typical engagement look like, and how long does it take?
Most projects start with a scoped feasibility or “first-pass” study focused on a specific bottleneck—thermal drift in a stage, cross-talk on a PCB or IC, alignment stability, etc.—over a few weeks. From there, we can extend into design optimization, the development of design rules, and reusable templates for future hardware generations.
Can you help our team build a repeatable simulation workflow for future designs?
Yes. Beyond one-off studies, we can help create standardized models, automated workflows, parametric templates, and best-practice guidelines tailored to your architecture. That gives your engineers a scalable workflow instead of a single large simulation that may be difficult to modify and debug.
With only a basic outline and one example of how previous systems were done, my engineer was able to complete the job quickly and provide several possible system designs that met my specifications. These system designs came with comparisons as well as a final system design best suited for our design specifications. The final design delivered was detailed enough for us to begin developing a prototype production through an external manufacturer.

Electromagnetics Engineer at MagLev Aero
Building advanced software-defined radios involves a lot of hardware design, especially of PCBs and antennas. Pi-Radio has been very lucy to work with Ansys and SimuTech Group through the Ansys Startup Program. Through this program, Pi-Radio has had access to software tools like HFSS, which has been invaluable in us building the products that we do.
