Oracle, Quantinuum partner to bring quantum computing to cloud

Aug 11 (Reuters) - Quantinuum ‌and Oracle on ​Tuesday ​announced a multi-year partnership aimed at bringing quantum computing capabilities to Oracle's cloud platform, ‌as technology firms race to commercialize the nascent technology.

Financial ⁠terms of the partnership and a deployment date were not disclosed.

Here ‌are some details:

• Under ‌the deal, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers will gain access to Quantinuum's Helios quantum computer through OCI's quantum ​service, allowing them to combine quantum computing with Oracle's graphics-processing and high-performance computing services.

• Running on-site ⁠within OCI, Helios is expected to integrate with existing OCI services under the ​same governance customers already use.

• Helios, commercially launched in November, will be deployed in a U.S.-based ​Oracle AI data center.

• "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," ⁠the companies said in a statement.

• "We believe the next phase of ​enterprise computing will be shaped by bringing quantum, AI and high-performance computing together," Quantinuum CEO Rajeeb Hazra said, adding that the ‌partnership would "create a unique deeply integrated environment for hybrid workloads."

• Oracle plans to preview ‌its quantum service in coming months, combining Quantinuum's development ⁠stack with open-source hybrid-programming ‌frameworks to help ​developers build and test quantum-classical applications.
