Quantinuum Introduces InQuanto
Explore Industrially Relevant Chemistry Problems on Today’s Quantum Computers
Cambridge, UK and Broomfield, Colorado, May 24th, 2022 — Quantinuum, the global quantum computing company, today announced the release of InQuanto, a state-of-the-art quantum computational chemistry software platform that makes it easy for computational chemists to experiment with a wide range of quantum algorithms on today’s quantum computers.
InQuanto is available for the first time as a standalone platform to commercial organizations, bringing together the latest quantum computing tools in a single application. It was developed and deployed by Quantinuum’s quantum chemistry team to support collaborations with partners such as BMW, Honeywell, JSR, Nippon Steel Corporation, and TotalEnergies to explore quantum computing use cases specific to their industry. They have used it to understand the potential of quantum computing to improve the accuracy of complex molecular and materials simulations in their fields.
InQuanto enables users to mix and match the latest quantum algorithms, advanced subroutines, and chemistry-specific noise-mitigation techniques to make the best use of today's quantum computers. The platform also helps computational chemists to break down larger industrially relevant systems into smaller fragments that can run on today’s small-scale quantum machines. It uses Quantinuum's open-source toolkit, TKET, to reduce the computational requirements for electronic structure simulations and maximize performance across the widest range of quantum devices and simulators.
“Quantum computing offers a path to rapid and cost-effective development of new molecules and materials that could unlock novel answers to some of the biggest challenges we face,” said Patrick Moorhead, CEO and Chief Analyst of Moor Insights and Strategy. “The way to ensure progress is to start prototyping now, using real-world use cases, so that methods are tailored to solving actual needs of the industry. InQuanto is built to enable exactly this.”
BMW and Quantinuum have worked together using the InQuanto platform to simulate electrode reactions in hydrogen fuel cells, with the goal of achieving the highest fidelity on today's machines. The collaboration has focused on modeling the oxygen reduction reaction. It has provided insights into how quantum computers could help with the future design of efficient catalysts and electrodes.
Elvira Shishenina, Quantum Computing Lead at BMW Group New Technologies and Innovation, said, "The path to future progress in materials modeling using quantum computers relies on a deep understanding of both the technology and our applications. Bringing together the fuel cells expertise and highly predictive quantum computing simulations could enhance the new materials development towards zero-physical prototyping.”
Through Quantinuum’s research and development (R&D) collaborations with global partners, the technology now available through InQuanto has led to the achievement of a number of firsts: it explored for the first time the quantification of drug-protein interactions using today’s emerging quantum devices; in a collaboration with Nippon Steel Corporation, it proved its capabilities in the simulation of materials such as iron crystals for steel development; and in a paper published with TotalEnergies, it was used to model metal-organic frameworks for carbon capture.
Ilyas Khan, CEO of Quantinuum said: “We are deeply excited about the news today. InQuanto is a perfect example of a product developed with the active support of the leaders across every sector deeply involved in quantum chemistry. We have created a dedicated quantum computing product for computational chemists looking for the bridge between classical computing, which they know well, and quantum techniques, which show so much promise.”
Rei Sakuma, Principal Researcher of the Materials Informatics Initiative at JSR Corporation, said: "JSR entered into a close partnership with Quantinuum very early on. We participated in the beta testing of InQuanto (formerly EUMEN) and have used it primarily for research and development on novel materials and property prediction. InQuanto is very easy to use, even for researchers and engineers without a deep knowledge of quantum computing. In the future, we would like to use InQuanto not only in research and development but also in actual manufacturing sites, based on the premise of further performance improvement of quantum computers.”
In another project, Quantinuum, together with Honeywell, applied InQuanto to investigate the applicability of quantum computing to the design of novel refrigerants. These complex compounds, widely used in many industries, are chosen for properties such as low toxicity, low flammability, and stability, as well as low global warming potential (GWP) and no ozone depletion potential. Finding new, environmentally friendly refrigerants is a critical challenge for future sustainable solutions. The collaboration modeled a reaction between methane gas, a simple refrigerant, and a simple atmospheric radical using capabilities built into InQuanto.
Gavin Towler, Chief Technology Officer for Honeywell PMT, said: “Honeywell is leaning forward to understand how we use quantum computing capabilities for our business. Tools like InQuanto will play a valuable role in inventing and discovering new chemicals with improved environmental performance.”
Quantinuum is also partnering with Mitsui & Co. and building on its global industrial reach in order to accelerate the InQuanto offering to industrial customers and researchers in Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
Simon Toda, General Manager of Digital Technology Strategy Dept., Integrated Digital Strategy Div. at Mitsui & Co., said: “We are extremely excited to be working with Quantinuum, a global pioneer of quantum computing. We believe the InQuanto platform will bring great innovation to the research and development activities in the chemical industry. With our broad business assets and unique position in the industry and region, we are supporting our customers to create new, innovative value together with Quantinuum.”

- Quantinuum’s Helios computer achieves a world-record 99.9995% logical fidelity—just five errors in a million operations—using the company’s error-correction architecture.
- Error rate is 10x lower than Quantinuum’s own September 2026 record and 100x lower than the best published result across all other hardware modalities, which was reported by Google Quantum AI using a superconducting system.
- Quantinuum’s successive breakthroughs used different codes on the same hardware, demonstrating how its error-correction architecture and trapped-ion technology drive rapid gains in accuracy, with performance now in the target range for Apollo.
BROOMFIELD, Colo.—October 19, 2026—Quantinuum (NASDAQ: QNT), a leading full-stack quantum computing company, today announced a world-record quantum error-correction result, achieving a logical fidelity of 99.9995% on its Helios commercial computer using the company’s error-correction architecture. This marks Quantinuum’s second breakthrough in two months, demonstrating how its highly accurate trapped-ion hardware and flexible architecture work together to deliver rapid improvements in accuracy.
The achievement reinforces Quantinuum’s error-correction leadership and validates that its accuracy performance is now within the target range for Apollo, the company's planned universal fault-tolerant quantum computer expected to be available by 2029.
Quantinuum’s architecture is an end-to-end framework programmable through the company’s developer platform. It integrates tailored AI decoders, all-to-all qubit connectivity, high-fidelity physical operations, and hardware-level error correction. This architecture also allows the company to test, refine, and combine different error-correction codes and optimize between accuracy and efficiency.
In the latest study, Quantinuum used a well-known “color code” within this architecture to achieve the world-record logical fidelity result, which is equivalent to just five errors per million operations. The error rate is 10 times lower than Quantinuum’s own world record achieved last month and 100 times lower than the best published result across all other hardware modalities, which was reported by Google Quantum AI on a superconducting system.
“With this result, we’ve proven that we have the error-correction architecture and trapped-ion technology required to achieve universal fault-tolerance,” said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, CEO of Quantinuum. “We have reduced error rates tenfold in rapid succession using a different code on the same commercial hardware, demonstrating the flexibility of our error-correction architecture. We’ve crossed the threshold necessary for exponential improvements in accuracy, reinforcing our path to Apollo and how we can help users unlock commercial value from quantum at scale.”
The study also showed that logical errors fell exponentially as Quantinuum increased the “code distance,” a technique used to understand how many physical qubits are needed to protect quantum information as the error correction scales. Each tested increase reduced the remaining logical errors by a record factor of 12, demonstrating increasingly effective error suppression as the code grows—a critical capability for scaling fault-tolerant quantum computing. Quantinuum believes this result suggests it can deliver fault-tolerance with significantly fewer qubits than are required for other modalities.
“This is a significant milestone that quantum computing researchers have been working toward for many years,” said Robin Blume-Kohout, co-director of Sandia National Laboratories’ Quantum Performance Lab, who was not involved in the study. “The paper demonstrates real, serious performance gains from quantum error correction—a logical qubit nearly 100x better than its component physical qubits. A scaled-up version of this system could reach the reliability required for useful fault-tolerant computation at a feasible size—less than a million physical qubits—which improves the outlook for practical quantum computing. These findings go a long way to retire one of the field’s central technical risks.”
In September 2026, Quantinuum used the same error-correction architecture with its Helix code to demonstrate record-setting logical memory and computation. Both studies ran on the same Helios hardware.
The two demonstrations illustrate how Quantinuum can rapidly prototype different error-correction codes within the same architecture to optimize for relative strengths in accuracy, efficiency, and speed. On Helios, Helix used 10 physical qubits per logical qubit, compared with up to 37 for the color code, while the color code delivered lower logical error rates. This provides insight into which applications pair best with each code as systems advance toward fault-tolerance.
Quantinuum’s error-correction architecture is flexible, allowing for adaptive syndrome extraction, which adjusts error-checking measurements during computation, and chain-mapping, which connects codes suited to different computational tasks. Together with efficient code structures and real-time decoding, these techniques provide multiple ways to reduce errors and resource requirements.
Quantinuum is combining its hardware, error-correction architecture, and full-stack software platform into an integrated system for fault-tolerant quantum computing. As customers prepare for this next era of computing, Quantinuum is providing the tools needed to develop and scale quantum applications capable of addressing challenges across materials science, chemistry, finance, logistics, and other critical sectors.
