Quantinuum's Helios-1 Executes Largest Quantum Simulation Yet

11/6/2025

Summary

Story summary

Quantinuum, the quantum computing company, used its Helios-1 quantum computer to run the largest quantum simulation of the Fermi-Hubbard model, using 98 error-proof qubits and 36 fermions.
The work shows quantum computers' potential for materials science, while conventional computers struggle with large samples and dynamic changes.
Helios-1 qubits achieved a 99.921% entanglement success rate.
Quantinuum aims a 192-qubit fourth-generation model by 2027 and a fully fault-tolerant model by 2029.
