Quantum computing firm Quantinuum has launched Helios, a general-purpose quantum computer designed for enterprise use.

Described by the company as “the world’s most accurate” general-purpose quantum system, Helios allows developers to program quantum and heterogeneous classical computers in the same way, thus enabling hybrid quantum capabilities to be combined in a single program.

Quantinuum has also expanded its partnership with Nvidia in order to integrate the chipmaker’s GB200 GPUs into Helios via Nvidia’s NVLink interconnect offering. The company said that for both Helios and future systems, it will use Quantinuum Guppy alongside Nvidia’s CUDA-Q platform to perform real-time error correction.

The system is available to customers through Quantinuum’s cloud service and on-premises platform, with early adopters of the system including Amgen, BlueQubit, BMQ Group, JPMorgan Chase, and SoftBank.

Quantinuum additionally announced that it has signed a strategic partnership with Singapore’s National Quantum Office (NQO) and National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH). Under the terms of the agreement, Quantinuum will provide Singapore with access to Helios and establish an R&D and operations center in the city-state.

“The next computing inflection point starts today,” said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, president and 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.”

Quantinuum was founded in 2021 when Honeywell spun out its Quantum Solutions division and merged it with UK quantum computing startup Cambridge Quantum Computing. Honeywell owns a 54 percent stake in Quantinuum. IBM is also an investor.

In July 2024, it was reported that Quantinuum’s parent company, Honeywell, was considering an IPO for the quantum subsidiary, reportedly seeking a valuation of around $10 billion.
