Singapore\u2019s National Quantum Office (NQO), a national platform hosted by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and Quantinuum, the leading quantum computing company, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate quantum computing in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership marks a key milestone under Singapore\u2019s National Quantum Strategy, led by NQO and will advance quantum hardware, software and talent development through Singapore\u2019s National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH). The NQCH and Quantinuum will work together to strengthen Singapore\u2019s position as a top global quantum computing hub, accelerate innovation with industry users across pharmaceuticals, materials science and finance and nurture world-class talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The installation of the Helios system in Singapore, expected to be completed in 2026, will give researchers direct access to Quantinuum\u2019s Helios computing capabilities, supporting deeper research collaboration and innovation. Effective immediately, researchers will gain cloud access to Helios that enables key research and capability building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a full-stack offering, Helios is one of the most advanced commercial quantum computers today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Helios platform unites a fully connected physical and logical qubit architecture with industry-leading fidelity and a next-generation software stack featuring a modern, high-level programming language. Helios is designed to accelerate quantum computing adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quantinuum will establish a new R&D and Operations Centre in Singapore to collaborate with the country\u2019s research and innovation ecosystem. The Centre will unify Quantinuum staff, local researchers and industry partners in co-developing end-to-end middleware and applications that bridge classical and quantum systems. Through these efforts, the Centre aims to accelerate the translation of quantum technologies into commercially relevant solutions while building long-term R&D capabilities in quantum computing and its applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership will foster a thriving quantum ecosystem in Singapore through industry programmes and talent development. These include internships, workshops and conferences to accelerate skills transfer and build a strong pipeline of quantum specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quantinuum will collaborate with industry end-users in Singapore to co-develop advanced quantum computing applications addressing real-world challenges in computational biology, bioinformatics, drug discovery, financial modelling, advanced materials and combinatorial optimisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Ling Keok Tong, Executive Director of the National Quantum Office, said: \u201cThis partnership marks an important step in building Singapore as a leading quantum computing hub. Working with Quantinuum will deepen local capabilities and position Singapore as a regional leader driving real-world outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, President and CEO, Quantinuum, said: \u201cSingapore has demonstrated remarkable foresight in recognising the transformative power of quantum computing. Together, we\u2019re strengthening a hub that will accelerate the commercialisation of quantum computing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josephine Teo, Minister for Digital Development and Information and Minister-in-Charge of Cybersecurity and Smart Nation Group, said: \u201cSingapore continues to invest in quantum to strengthen our digital growth and security. Together, we hope to shape a prosperous and safe future where technology serves the public good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
