British startup Phasecraft has launched Mondrian, a quantum software platform that promises to speed up complex calculations by up to 1,000 times. Early trials on the UK energy grid have shown promising results.
“We’re just scratching the surface of quantum computing’s climate potential,” Ashley Montanaro, co-founder and CEO of Phasecraft, tells Impact Loop.

Quantum computing has long promised to revolutionise everything from cryptography to materials science. The question has always been when. According to UK startup Phasecraft, the answer is sooner than you might think.
Founded in 2019 by Ashley Montanaro, Toby Cubitt, and John Morton, Phasecraft blends classical and quantum computing to create algorithms that can already run on today’s imperfect quantum machines.
