Quantinuum shifts conversation from counting qubits to perfecting cybersecurity solution
2021-11-30 18:24

Quantinuum is not counting qubits in the race to error-corrected quantum computing.

Uttley said Quantinuum rejects the conventional quantum wisdom that these new machines will need millions of qubits to be useful to businesses today.

Quantinuum represents a turning point in the industry, Khan said, as 2021 will be the year quantum computing became commercially relevant.

The H1 recently achieved a quantum volume of 1,024, while IBM just announced that its Eagle processor has reached 127 qubits.

Honeywell has invested almost $300 million in the new venture and Uttley predicts that Quantinuum will attract investors who have been hesitant about investing in quantum technology.

Quantinuum will sell software products under the Cambridge Quantum brand.
