Quantinuum Unveils Helios, Its Most Advanced Commercial Quantum Computer

November 5, 2025

Details

  • Quantinuum introduced Helios on November 5, 2025, touting it as the world's most accurate general-purpose commercial quantum computer, with deployment options both via cloud and on-premise.
  • Initial enterprise users include Amgen, BMW Group, JPMorgan Chase, and SoftBank Corp., while global collaborations extend to BlueQubit, Singapore's National Quantum Office, and the National Quantum Computing Hub.
  • Helios boasts 98 physical qubits with 99.921% two-qubit gate fidelity, 99.9975% one-qubit fidelity, and advanced error correction, alongside a new Python-based programming language called Guppy that enables hybrid quantum-classical development.
  • Integration with NVIDIA’s GB200 hardware and CUDA-Q platform unlocks significant generative quantum AI (GenQAI) potential, while the system more than doubles the capability of Quantinuum’s previous H2 model.
  • The launch is a key milestone on Quantinuum’s roadmap toward fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2030, marked by new programs like Q-Net and a startup partner initiative aimed at fostering a broader quantum development ecosystem.

Impact

Helios marks a major leap for quantum technology, shifting the industry from experimental systems to viable enterprise solutions. Early adoption by leading global firms and integration with NVIDIA’s cutting-edge hardware highlight the platform’s competitive edge. The move accelerates quantum’s real-world impact across science, industry, and finance, setting the stage for broader adoption and innovation.
