Quantinuum and Oracle have entered a multi-year strategic partnership to bring quantum computing to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Under the partnership, OCI customers will be able to directly access Quantinuum’s Helios, its commercial quantum computer, through OCI’s quantum service, alongside OCI’s high-performance computing (HPC) and GPU infrastructure.
Together, Quantinuum and Oracle plan to explore how hybrid quantum-AI infrastructure could address some of the most computationally intensive challenges facing enterprises and broaden access for universities and research institutions advancing scientific discovery and education.
Many complex problems across materials discovery, drug development, logistics, energy and financial modelling already push the limits of today’s computing architectures.
The duo say the partnership reflects a shared vision that the future of enterprise computing will be built on the convergence of AI, classical supercomputing and quantum computing.
“We believe the next phase of enterprise computing will be shaped by bringing quantum, AI and high-performance computing together,” said Rajeeb Hazra, president and CEO of Quantinuum.
“Deploying Helios inside OCI gives Quantinuum and Oracle an opportunity to create a unique deeply integrated environment for hybrid workloads, explore enterprise use cases with customers, and accelerate commercial adoption.”
Last month, Quantinuum, Rolls-Royce, Riverlane and EPCC, the UK National Supercomputing Centre based at the University of Edinburgh, signed an agreement to explore the quantum computing capabilities needed in future industrial workflows, such as gas turbine design.
