Quantinuum and Oracle said they have entered a multi-year strategic partnership to make Quantinuum's Helios quantum computer available through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with the system to be installed in a U.S.-based OCI AI data center and offered through an upcoming OCI quantum service. The arrangement is intended to give customers managed access to quantum computing alongside Oracle's HPC and GPU infrastructure, networking, storage, identity, governance, and security tools for hybrid quantum-AI workloads in areas such as drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, energy, and large-scale optimization. Helios, launched commercially in November 2025, is Quantinuum's third-generation 98-physical-qubit trapped-ion system; the company said it has demonstrated workloads using 48 logical qubits and delivers average two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.921%. Oracle said it plans to preview the service in the coming months with Quantinuum's development stack and open-source hybrid-programming frameworks to help developers move from simulation to execution on quantum hardware. Financial terms and a launch date were not disclosed, and Quantinuum shares (QNT) closed down 0.94% at $56.06 before rising 1.46% to $56.88 in extended trading after the announcement.
