Quantinuum, a leader in quantum computing, has updated its product roadmap, aiming to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2030. Central to this goal is their fifth-generation quantum system, Apollo, which promises to handle large-scale scientific and commercial applications.
CEO Dr. Rajeeb Hazra emphasized the company’s unique position. “We are the only firm with a clear path to leveraging quantum for large-scale challenges,” Hazra said. He also announced that their next system, Helios, will host enough logical qubits to surpass classical computing in areas like finance and chemistry.
Additionally, Quantinuum, in collaboration with Microsoft, has demonstrated 12 logical qubits on its System Model H2 quantum computer—the most performant logical qubits on record. Microsoft also used Quantinuum’s system for the first chemistry simulation combining AI and quantum computing.
Furthermore, both companies have integrated Quantinuum’s quantum chemistry software, InQuanto, into Azure Quantum Elements, now available in private preview.
Founded in 2021, Quantinuum emerged from Honeywell’s Quantum Solutions division and Cambridge Quantum Computing. Honeywell retains a 54% stake, with IBM as a key investor. A potential IPO valued at $10 billion is also under consideration.
As the race for quantum supremacy heats up, Quantinuum’s advancements are set to play a pivotal role in transforming industries and scientific discovery.
