Singapore’s National Quantum Office and Quantinuum Forge Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Quantum Computing

Helios launches with customers Amgen, BMW Group, JPMorganChase, and SoftBank Corp.

New York City, November 5, 2025 – Quantinuum, the world leader in quantum computing, today announced the launch of Helios, the world’s most accurate general-purpose commercial quantum computer, designed to accelerate quantum computing adoption by enterprises. With the highest fidelity^† of any commercial system and a first-of-its-kind real-time control engine, Helios enables developers to program a quantum computer in much the same way they program heterogeneous classical computers. A new, modern Python-based programming language called Guppy allows developers to seamlessly combine hybrid compute capabilities — quantum and classical — in a single program. Helios is now available to customers through Quantinuum’s cloud service and on-premise offering. 

“The next computing inflection point starts today,” said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, President & CEO of Quantinuum. “For the first time enterprises can access a highly accurate general purpose quantum computer to drive real world impact, transforming how industries innovate – from drug discovery to finance to advanced materials.”

Helios unlocks the ability to enhance GenAI models with quantum generated data, thereby unlocking AI’s full potential in areas such as data analysis, material design, and quantum chemistry. To accelerate GenQAI, Quantinuum is expanding its partnership with NVIDIA, integrating NVIDIA GB200 with Helios via NVIDIA NVQLink to create applications for targeted end markets. In addition, Quantinuum will switch to NVIDIA accelerated computing for Helios and future systems, using Quantinuum Guppy alongside the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform to perform real-time error correction critical to its roadmap.

Quantinuum announced a growing community of early users and collaborators, including leaders in life sciences, materials, and energy sectors: 

• Amgen: an investor and research collaborator, exploring hybrid quantum-machine learning to advance data-driven discovery in biologics.
• BlueQubit: AI image recognition using real-world driving video data. 
• BMW Group: advancing sustainable mobility through materials research on fuel cell catalysts.
• JPMorganChase: researching potential capabilities for advanced financial analytics.
• SoftBank Corp.: exploring organic materials for next-gen batteries, optical switches, and solar cells.
  
  

Today, Quantinuum also signed a strategic partnership agreement with Singapore’s National Quantum Office (NQO) and National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH) that includes access to Helios in country to accelerate commercial applications of quantum computing in the areas of computational biology and bioinformatics, financial modeling and optimization, advanced materials and chemistry, and combinatorial optimization. To support this strategic partnership, Quantinuum is establishing a world-class R&D and Operations Centre in Singapore. 

Finally, as part of its strategy to expand the commercial reach of quantum computing, Quantinuum is introducing two new ecosystem programs. Q-Net, a new user group, will serve as a forum for customer feedback and collaboration, while a new startup partner program will invite developers to build and scale third party applications on Helios.

^† Fidelity: In quantum computing, fidelity is a metric that determines the accuracy of system’s computation. The lower a system’s error rate, the higher its fidelity. Helios has the highest fidelities ever released to the market. Its key performance specifications are outlined below:

• Physical qubits (PQ): 98 PQ at 99.921% 2-qubit gate fidelity, and 99.9975% 1-qubit gate fidelity. 
• Logical qubits (LQ): 
  
  • 94 LQ (error detected) globally entangled with better than physical performance; 
  • 50 LQ (error detected) with better than physical performance in a magnetism simulation; and 
  • 48 LQ (error corrected) with better than physical performance (99.99% state prep and measurement fidelity).

Tokyo, Japan, August 19^th, 2025 — Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”), QSimulate, and Quantinuum today announced the launch of a new quantum-integrated chemistry platform, QIDO (Quantum-Integrated Discovery Orchestrator). This platform aims to reduce the time and cost of developing new drugs and materials. QIDO accelerates research and development through high-precision chemical reaction modeling and seamlessly combines the advantages of cutting-edge classical computing and quantum computing.

Built for commercial impact, QIDO streamlines complex quantum-classical hybrid workflows and helps companies make decisions earlier in the development process, contributing to a powerful competitive advantage in innovation. The platform is designed to support research across an array of chemistry-based fields, including advanced materials design, clean energy, and drug development.

Proprietary Technology Supporting QIDO

QIDO seamlessly integrates QSimulate's software “QSP Reaction,” which enables calculations on the scale of thousands of atoms using the highest precision classical quantum chemistry methods and techniques. QIDO also integrates with Quantinuum's “InQuanto" software, which interfaces with state-of-the-art quantum emulators and world-leading Quantinuum Systems hardware. InQuanto™ achieves up to 10 times higher accuracy in simulations of complex molecules and materials compared to open-source software.

• ‍Makoto Koshida, General Manager, Quantum Innovation Department, Mitsui: “We take a market-needs-based approach, aiming to bridge the gap between providing practical features that help customers solve today's challenges and preparing them for the coming quantum era. This approach enables customers to maximize its benefits from day one when quantum technology comes into its own.” ‍
• Toru Shiozaki, Ph.D., President & CEO, QSimulate: “Combining best-in-class quantum chemical simulation with deep quantum computing expertise, QIDO gives industrial chemists powerful, intuitive algorithms and tools to tackle complex chemical challenges with speed and accuracy.
