Oracle and Quantinuum have announced a multi-year partnership to bring quantum computing capabilities to Oracle’s cloud platform, as technology companies race to commercialize the emerging technology.
Financial terms of the partnership and a deployment date were not disclosed.
Under the agreement, 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.
Helios, which was commercially launched in November, will be deployed at a U.S.-based Oracle AI data center and run on-site within OCI. The system is expected to integrate with existing OCI services under the same governance framework used by customers.
“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. The service will combine Quantinuum’s development stack with open-source hybrid-programming frameworks to help developers build and test quantum-classical applications.
The partnership comes as technology companies and cloud providers seek to develop commercial applications for quantum computing, which uses quantum-mechanical effects to tackle certain problems that can be difficult for conventional computers to solve.
