Quantinuum, a U.S. quantum computing company, is expanding its global footprint with a new facility in Singapore. The launch of the company’s new R&D and Operations Centre coincides with its plans to deploy its Helios quantum computer in Singapore later this year.
The company’s platform applies quantum systems toward real-world uses. Staffers at Quantinuum’s new facility will collaborate with local researchers and industry partners from organizations including Entropica and Squareroot8 to develop commercial solutions across the pharmaceutical, materials science and finance sectors.
“We believe there are three pillars to a holistic strategy for building a sustainable quantum frontier: use cases, infrastructure and workforce,” Rajeeb Hazra, Quantinuum’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “Singapore provides an exceptional foundation for this approach, and we are proud to contribute our experience in ecosystem development as we build a leading quantum ecosystem together.”
