Oracle and Quantinuum Deploy Helios Quantum Computer in Multi-Year Cloud Partnership

Quantinuum and Oracle to blend quantum and cloud in new partnership

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. Hazra added, "Deploying Helios inside OCI gives Quantinuum and Oracle an opportunity to create a unique deeply integrated environment for hybrid workloads, explore enterprise use cases with customers, and accelerate commercial adoption." The partnership intends to explore how hybrid quantum-AI infrastructure might impact some of the most computationally intensive challenges facing enterprises, while also broadening access for universities and research institutions looking to advance scientific discovery and education. According to Quantinuum, the deal is a shared vision that the future of enterprise-based computing will be developed at the intersection of AI, classical supercomputing and quantum computing. Commenting on the announcement, Mahesh Thiagarajan, the executive vice-president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure said, "AI has changed what organisations can imagine and we believe quantum computing can expand what they're able to solve. "By bringing Quantinuum's Helios to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, we want to give developers a practical and secure way to explore how quantum computing could complement their existing AI and HPC workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure while improving compute efficiency and energy use." In late July, Zuriq, a quantum computing company based out of Switzerland, announced a seed funding round of $25.5m. The round, which was led by Quantonation, with participation from Forward.one, Extantia, Firgun Ventures and additional previous round investors, also raised a $4.2m pre-seed round in 2025.

Oracle Partners With Quantinuum To Bring Quantum Computing Cloud - Oracle (NYSE:ORCL)

Quantinuum Strikes Oracle Deal as Quantum Cloud Race Heats Up: 'Next Phase of Enterprise Computing' The system will be deployed at a U.S.-based OCI data center to support hybrid quantum-AI workloads targeting drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling and large-scale optimization. "We believe the next phase of enterprise computing will be shaped by bringing quantum, AI, and high-performance computing together," said the president and CEO of Quantinuum, Rajeeb Hazra. Major cloud providers are moving to add quantum computing to their infrastructure as enterprise customers increasingly look to access quantum and classical compute through a single platform. Last month, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said the technology could begin making a measurable impact on its revenue and profit by 2028 or 2029. Oracle Joins AWS and Microsoft in Quantum Cloud Race Quantinuum's hardware is already available through Azure Quantum, while Oracle's tie-up extends the company's cloud distribution. Deal Comes Two Months After Quantinuum's IPO In June, Quantinuum made its Nasdaq debut, when the company raised $1.68 billion in an upsized IPO priced at $60 a share, valuing it near $15.7 billion. Oracle plans to preview its OCI quantum service in the coming months, the companies said, giving developers a path to move from simulation to execution on real quantum hardware. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Price Action: Oracle fell 3.69% on Tuesday to close at $145.48 and recovered some of those losses in early pre-market hours on Wednesday to gain 1.85%. Benzinga edge rankings show Oracle stock has a Momentum score in the 6th percentile and a Growth score in the 95th percentile.

Oracle and Quantinuum combine cloud, AI and quantum computing

Commercially launched in November, Helios will be installed in an Oracle data center dedicated to artificial intelligence in the United States. Its direct integration with OCI is intended to allow users to keep the same governance controls they use for the platform's other services. The two groups aim to develop a hybrid infrastructure combining quantum computing, AI and classical computing to meet enterprises' compute-intensive needs, while also expanding access for universities and research institutes. Oracle plans to unveil an initial version of its quantum service in the coming months. It will combine Quantinuum's development environment with open-source frameworks dedicated to hybrid programming. Developers will be able to design and test applications that combine quantum and classical computing. Quantinuum believes the convergence of quantum, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing will be the next major step in enterprise computing.

Oracle to Deploy Quantinuum's Helios in AI Data Center

The quantum computing company Quantinuum said it has signed a multi-year partnership with Oracle to deploy its most advanced quantum computer, Helios, in one of Oracle's AI data centers. Quantinuum said the deployment will give Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers direct access to Helios through OCI's quantum service. The two companies are pairing up to explore how hybrid quantum-AI infrastructure could address the biggest challenges that enterprises face and broaden access for universities and research institutions. "We want to give developers a practical and secure way to explore how quantum computing could complement their existing AI and HPC workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure while improving compute efficiency and energy use," said Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
