Synopsys, a privately owned company headquartered in US, founded in 1986, operates with approximately 17,470 employees. As an American electronic design automation company, Synopsys focuses on silicon design and verification, silicon intellectual property, and software security and quality, supplying tools and services to the semiconductor design and manufacturing industry.
On September 17, 2026, Synopsys' predictive lithography simulation was validated by High-NA EUV silicon results, a development that addresses the inefficiencies chipmakers face when bringing up new processes and technologies through sequential test wafer fabrication, especially with modern deep submicron nodes. Previously, on the same day, IonQ detailed research conducted with electronic design automation leader Synopsys and accelerated computing pioneer NVIDIA, demonstrating that embedding hybrid quantum algorithms into classical simulation suites can accelerate complex industrial design by up to 14.6%. This research, which earned 1st Place Best Paper at IEEE Quantum Week 2026, proved these algorithms speed up matrix reordering and system solver steps in industrial design pipelines, addressing major computational bottlenecks for classical supercomputers.
