Company
Bosonuum LLC
Bosonuum LLC is a Montana limited liability company, formed in September 2026 and based in Bozeman. It is founder-led and independent.
The company computes the quasiclassical physics of superconducting devices before they are built, with a GPU solver in which every term is separately gated and every result is adjudicated against a protocol registered before the run. What the solver does, what it does not yet do, and what broke along the way are published beside one another. That record is the product; the solver is how it is made.
The model has three stages, stated in order. Today, verification: the physics of a device computed and gated, and a design partnership on the first component. Next, design to specification: a component specified from the physics, with the record that shows why it should work. Then, manufacture to specification with foundry partners: Bosonuum designs and verifies, a superconducting foundry fabricates, and the measurement closes the loop against the record.
Boson and continuum. A Cooper pair is a boson; a superconductor is a condensate of them; the quasiclassical theory describes that condensate as a continuum, and the solver computes it. The name says what the company does: it computes the bosonic state of a device before the device is built, and it puts every step on the record.
The solver is developed with AI-assisted engineering under a written discipline: every change is gated, every commit is attributed to the model that made it, every number in a record is recomputed from the tree at the moment it is written, and a commit that turns the verification battery red cannot land. The discipline is public, in the repository, beside the code it governs.
Founder
Elizabeth R. S. Burnim — B.S. Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, University of Minnesota, 1990. M.S. Management of Technology, University of Minnesota, 1997. Doctoral study in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Montana State University, 2011–2012.
Aerodynamics and R&D engineer at Northrop Grumman: wind-tunnel test protocols designed with statistical methods, telemetry-integrated vertical wind-tunnel testing, and the work of keeping high-fidelity simulation and the physical test environment in agreement across demanding programs; before that, a Boeing internship on C-17 components with finite-element analysis and composite materials. Research and development engineer at Cornelius: computational fluid dynamics, finite-element analysis and heat transfer, including the engineering evaluation of thermoacoustic technologies developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Founder and principal consultant, Burnim PLLC (1990–2020): computational modelling, systems analysis and complex physical architectures across thermal, fluid and acoustic systems, from research through commercial viability.
Research professional, then graduate research associate, at Montana State University (2007–2012): high-voltage instrumentation for mass spectrometry and NIST-supported proteomics; underwater acoustics; GPU/CUDA architectures for signal processing and fluid-flow simulation in U.S. Navy-supported parallel-processing research. Independent researcher since 2007: emergence, coherence and nonequilibrium organization in interacting systems, by computational modelling and high-performance parallel computing — now superconductivity and quantum coherence, and the solver this company records.
