Successful QBI performers will advance through stages A, B, and C; Stage A requires performers to describe their utility-scale quantum computer with a path to near-term realization, where utility-scale means the computational value exceeds costs.As validated in a recent independent benchmarking study by a group of institutions at the forefront of quantum computing research, Quantinuum's quantum systems are the highest performing in the industry. Last year, Quantinuum published its development roadmap, outlining a path to a universal, fully-fault tolerant quantum computer by 2029. Beyond this public roadmap, Quantinuum plans to scale to even larger machines in the early part of the 2030s, aligning with the objectives of QBI."We are honored to collaborate with DARPA and look forward to working closely with their test and evaluation team as they assess our roadmap and technological approach," said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, President and CEO of Quantinuum. "With our roadmap firmly on track, we are confident in our ability to deliver on DARPA's objectives for QBI."Microsoft and NVIDIA will take part in Quantinuum's Stage A effort, building on their long-standing collaborations with Quantinuum in advancing commercially scalable quantum computing.About QuantinuumQuantinuum is the world leader in quantum computing
The collaboration between NVIDIA and Quantinuum focuses on integrating NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform with Quantinuum's quantum systems.
Quantinuum, in collaboration with NVIDIA, plans to offer its hardware and emulators through the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform, expanding the possibilities for hybrid quantum-classical computing.
