Quantinuum Systems
Access Program
Run Guppy on real quantum hardware, with the people building it
You have the opportunity to work with Guppy in a limited, hands-on basis on our System Model H2, one of the world’s most accurate quantum computers.
Guppy is Quantinuum’s quantum-first programming language, embedded in Python, designed for writing quantum-classical programs with compile-time checks and support for control flow, classical compute, and mid-circuit measurement.
This isn't a general-availability launch. It's a working program for technically capable users who want to help shape Guppy on real hardware, starting now alongside our team.
Program Overview
Quantinuum is inviting a small set of technically capable users who can:
Bring a real, executable workload
Work within current tooling and tell us where optimization is required
Move from onboarding to actual H2 execution with our support
Help produce a genuine proof point for what Guppy can do today
In exchange, you get direct access to the team building Guppy, priority support, and a head start on the execution model that will carry forward to future Quantinuum Systems.
For more information about using Guppy to run programs on H2, including key capabilities, getting-started resources, and documentation, please see the materials here.
Submission Deadline: September 7th, 2026
Who Should Apply?
We're looking for researchers and developers who are interested in evaluating Guppy on Quantinuum System Model H2. Experience with Guppy is not required. We will provide onboarding resources and support throughout the program. The program may be a particularly good fit if you:
Already use Nexus, pytket, Qiskit, or another quantum SDK.
Want to explore a more expressive approach to quantum-classical programming for your existing or new workloads.
Are interested in migrating an existing workflow to Guppy.
Develop quantum algorithms, quantum simulation, quantum error correction, or related quantum software.
Want to evaluate a unified programming workflow across Quantinuum systems.
Are willing to provide feedback that helps improve Guppy, onboarding, documentation, and the overall developer experience.
Please Note: Some workflows or features may not work as expected. Your feedback will help us identify gaps and improve the Guppy experience on Quantinuum Systems.
Access Program Process
Apply
Tell us about your workload, your experience with the quantum SDKs you currently use, and what you’re trying to validate.
Onboarding
We review your workload against current Guppy support on System Model H2 and work with you to scope a realistic starting point.
Staged validation
You build and test against the current toolchain, with our support, working through the constraints as they come up.
System Model H2 execution
Qualified projects that clear validation move to execution on System Model H2.
Please Note: Access to hardware isn't automatic but can be achieved by working through the stages listed above.
Shaping
the future
Guppy is our futureproof programming language. The tooling, the execution model, and the workflow you learn today on System Model H2 is the same foundation you'll be working from later. Sign up now for Guppy on Quantinuum Systems and benefit from running your experiments on one of the most accurate platforms in the world.
