About Horizon Quantum

At Horizon Quantum, we believe quantum computing has the potential to spark a second revolution in computing. Our mission is clear — to enable a world powered by quantum computation. We are developing tools to simplify and expedite the process of developing software for quantum computers. We are an international team headquartered in Singapore, with an office in Ireland and key markets spread out worldwide. 

With Triple Alpha, we are developing a toolchain for taking a program written in a conventional language such as C or Python and transforming it into an accelerated quantum application. This requires automated algorithm synthesis to produce a high-level description of a quantum program for the task, paired with an optimising compiler to turn this into a processor-specific executable representation.
