Computing firm Quantinuum has provided the hardware for many outstanding feats in quantum computing over the past few years. It looks like that winning streak will continue with its latest model, Helios —which, as of today, is the most powerful quantum computer in the world.

A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum simulation: for the first time, a universal quantum computer with 50 qubits has been fully simulated—a feat achieved on Europe's first exascale supercomputer,

Quantinuum has unveiled a third-generation quantum computer that could be easier to scale up than rival approaches.

Quantum computing pure-play stocks IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and Quantum Computing Inc. have soared between 260% and 2,710% over the trailing year. By one estimate, quantum computers can create $450 billion to $850 billion in global economic value by 2040, which partially explains the hype behind these stocks.

Experiments show that a time crystal based on magnons can interact with mechanical waves without being destroyed.

Quantum computers, machines that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some optimization tasks and computations. Despite their potential, quantum computers are known to be prone to errors and their ability to perform computations is easily influenced by noise.

Another reason IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and Quantum Computing Inc. stocks can plunge by 50% or more in 2026 is their respective valuations.

This will be the second quantum computer to be set up here, alongside a R&D centre in one-north. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.
