The multi-year partnership will explore how hybrid quantum-AI infrastructure could address some of the globe’s most pressing challenges.

Quantum computing company Quantinuum and Technology platform Oracle have announced a multi-year partnership that aims to blend quantum computing and cloud infrastructure.

Under the partnership, Quantinuum and Oracle plan to support enterprise, the AI lab, academic and research applications spanning drug discovery, materials science, financial modelling and large-scale optimisation.

Quantinuum’s advanced quantum computer Helios will be deployed in a US-based OCI AI data centre to enable hybrid quantum-AI workloads as an OCI service. Oracle consumers will have access enabling them to combine quantum computing with ​Oracle’s graphics-processing and high-performance computing services.

“We believe the next phase of enterprise computing will be shaped by bringing quantum, AI and high-performance computing together,” said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, the president and CEO of Quantinuum.
