Quantinuum pushes quantum frontiers with ‘Helios’ launch

Helios and new R&D hub to advance quantum computing in pharma and finance.

Quantinuum has established a new R&D and Operations Centre in Singapore, marking its formal expansion into the city, the company announced in a statement.

The centre will support collaboration with local researchers and industry partners across pharmaceuticals, materials science, finance, and other sectors, the company said.

The company also plans to deploy its Helios quantum computer in Singapore later this year, it said, with the deployment and new centre intended to deepen engagement with Singapore’s research and innovation ecosystem.

Quantinuum said the centre’s establishment is supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board and builds on its collaboration with the National Quantum Office through the National Quantum Computing Hub under the National Quantum Strategy.

Quantinuum said it is working with local startups, including Entropica through its Startup Partner Program, and has signed a memorandum of understanding with Squareroot8 to co-develop quantum communications applications.

The centre will bring Quantinuum staff together with local researchers and industry partners to co‑develop quantum computing solutions and support workforce and capability building in Singapore

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
