Stock market today: S&P 500 falls as job cuts stoke economic fears, tech stutters
Investing.com -- Quantum computing firm Quantinuum unveiled its latest computer, Helios, on Wednesday, marking what the company describes as an important leap in scale and ability, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
The $10 billion company, one of the biggest players in quantum computing, said the new machine will help customers including JPMorgan Chase and Nvidia explore business problems that quantum technology could potentially solve.
"That’s why we call it Helios, because Helios is the sun, and we said this is dawning the commercial adoption phase of quantum computing in industry," said Quantinuum President and Chief Executive Rajeeb Hazra.
Helios contains 98 physical qubits and can deliver 48 logical error-corrected qubits, achieving a 2:1 ratio that experts consider unique in the industry. Qubits are quantum versions of computer bits, but they can be delicate and error prone.
