Quantinuum hits 99.9995% logical fidelity, cutting error rate 10x on path to 2029 fault tolerance

Quantinuum said its Helios computer reached a logical fidelity of 99.9995% in error correction, equal to five errors per million operations. The company calls it a world record, 10 times better than its own mark from September 2026 and 100 times better than the best published result on other hardware, from Google Quantum AI. The Broomfield, Colorado company used a "color code" within its error-correction architecture on the same Helios hardware as its earlier Helix code result. Each increase in code distance cut logical errors by a factor of 12. Quantinuum says the accuracy is now in the target range for Apollo, its planned fault-tolerant quantum computer due by 2029. Chief executive officer Rajeeb Hazra said the company has "crossed the threshold necessary for exponential improvements in accuracy.

QBTS and QNT stocks tumble 25% as Fed hikes rates, valuations reset

D-Wave Quantum and Quantinuum are experiencing significant share price declines as investor appetite for speculative quantum computing stocks wanes. QBTS has fallen 27.7% over three months, whilst QNT dropped 25.1%. The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% on 16 September, its first increase since July 2023. Combined with Brent crude exceeding $100 per barrel and 10-year Treasury yields nearing 5%, the macro environment has turned hostile for high-duration technology stocks. D-Wave reported second-quarter revenues of $3.1 million, flat year over year, though bookings rose 59%. Its adjusted EBITDA loss widened 85% as development spending increased. Quantinuum's second-quarter revenues jumped 279%, with projected 2026 revenues of $28-$32 million. However, its adjusted EBITDA loss reached $68 million. Management does not expect positive free cash flow until later this decade.

Sandia, Quantinuum, and NVIDIA introduce QUOPS framework to benchmark physical and logical quantum performance.

Sandia, Quantinuum, and NVIDIA introduce QUOPS framework to benchmark physical and logical quantum performance. A research collaboration led by Sandia National Laboratories, in partnership with Quantinuum and NVIDIA, has introduced the Quantum Universal Operations Performance System (QUOPS). Detailed in a multi-institution paper published on arXiv (arXiv:2609.12146), QUOPS is an architecture-agnostic benchmarking framework designed to measure integrated quantum computer performance across both physical- and logical-qubit platforms, addressing limits in traditional component-level metrics such as raw qubit count or isolated gate fidelities. QUOPS evaluates full system execution - incorporating compilation, error correction, syndrome decoding, and error mitigation - by executing randomized layers of arbitrary-angle single-qubit rotations, RP(θ), and CNOT gates across varying circuit widths (w) and depths. The benchmark yields two top-level system metrics: Q (QUOPS score), which defines the maximum circuit size s = 2 x w x depth successfully executed within a utility-motivated geometric volume (w[2] <= s <= w[3]) at a minimum mean process polarization threshold of 1/√e ≈ 61%; and Ω (QUOPS rate), which measures the net operational throughput in executed operations per second while accounting for sampling overheads from error mitigation or postselection. The publication provides direct cross-platform baseline measurements across leading hardware: Quantinuum's Helios-1 achieved a physical score of Q = 1,504 (1,824 under leakage postselection), Google's Willow achieved Q = 216 at 2.0 x 10[7] QUOPS/s, and IBM's ibm_boston reached Q = 204 at 3.1 x 10[5] QUOPS/s. Additionally, the team executed QUOPS on a fully fault-tolerant logical architecture using up to 8 Steane-encoded [[7,1,3]] logical qubits on Helios-1, demonstrating logical Clifford+T circuit execution with active magic-state injection and syndrome extraction to achieve Q = 40 at Ω = 4.9 QUOPS/s. By mapping resource requirements for canonical utility challenge problems into effective QUOPS circuit sizes - estimating targets of Q ≈ 2.5 x 10[8] for factoring RSA-2048 and Q ≈ 3.4 x 10[8] for FeMoco energy eigenvalue calculations - the framework quantifies the 5-order-of-magnitude gap remaining between contemporary hardware and utility-scale application requirements, establishing a standardized metric for government procurement, hardware roadmaps, and fault-tolerant architectural verification.
