This press release was issued by Quantinuum.
Quantinuum, a leading quantum computing company, today announced the establishment of a new R&D and Operations Centre (the “Centre”) in Singapore, marking its formal expansion into Singapore. This important development will enable Quantinuum to deepen collaboration with the nation’s research and industrial ecosystem, together with the company’s plan to deploy its Helios quantum computer in Singapore later this year.
Singapore’s early investment in quantum has positioned the nation to capture value as quantum systems move toward real-world use. In his national budget speech last month, Prime Minister Mr. Lawrence Wong highlighted Quantinuum as an industry leader, emphasizing that Helios will enable Singaporean researchers and companies to work on meaningful projects.
The new Centre will bring together Quantinuum staff with local researchers and industry partners to co-develop commercially relevant solutions across pharma, materials science, finance, and other sectors. It will also serve to help advance Singapore’s national priorities under its National Quantum Strategy by strengthening long-term R&D capabilities and workforce development, helping position Singapore as a global hub for quantum technology.
The Centre’s establishment is supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and builds on Quantinuum’s close partnership with Singapore’s National Quantum Office (NQO) through the National Quantum Computing Hub. The National Quantum Strategy is developed and implemented by NQO, which is hosted in the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF).
As part of its commitment to developing a robust local ecosystem and support for innovation across the full quantum value chain, Quantinuum is collaborating with pioneering startups in Singapore, including Entropica, which accesses Quantinuum systems through its Startup Partner Program, and Squareroot8, with whom Quantinuum signed a Memorandum of Understanding today to co-develop quantum communications applications.
