Cambridge Quantum Computing Joins Exclusive Group of Companies with Access to Honeywell's Newly Launched Quantum Computer
CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- Access to Honeywell's System Model H1 quantum computer is a unique 
value-added resource that supports CQC's groundbreaking work with top-tier 
clients in areas ranging from machine learning, optimization, materials 
science, and life sciences
 

    Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) (https://cambridgequantum.com/) today 
announced an agreement with Honeywell Quantum Solutions establishing access to 
Honeywell's recently announced premium quantum computer - the System Model H1. 
Featuring Honeywell's quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) trapped ion 
technology, the System Model H1 offers 10 fully connected qubits and a proven 
quantum volume of 128 - the highest measured in the industry to date.  
Honeywell designed the system to be regularly upgraded with continuous 
performance enhancements as well, including increased qubit counts, higher 
fidelities and unique feature modifications. 

    The agreement enables CQC and its clients, many of whom are amongst the 
world's largest companies, to accelerate their research by leveraging 
Honeywell's state-of-the-art quantum computer with CQC's enterprise-ready 
software and pursue breakthrough advances in areas ranging from chemistry, 
machine learning, optimization, materials science, finance and life sciences.  

    As disclosed recently, CQC is already working with the leading global 
logistics provider DHL and Honeywell on solving computationally complex 
problems on the System H1 to significantly optimize supply chain processes. The 
objective of this collaboration is to lay the foundation for simultaneous 
parcel packing, detection of micro-level energy and product waste, and cogent 
re-planning and re-allocating systems to counteract unexpected shutdowns, late 
shipments, and cancelled orders.

    "CQC is an important partner for Honeywell with state-of-the-art software 
and algorithms that make it easier for large corporations to achieve valuable 
results from our quantum computers," said Tony Uttley, President of Honeywell 
Quantum Solutions. "With its product-oriented approach, and it's growing client 
base of some of the world's largest companies, CQC plays a significant role in 
accelerating quantum computing's path towards commercial viability."

    With one of the largest and most distinguished scientific teams in the 
quantum computing industry, CQC is a well-established global leader in 
developing and delivering quantum software and quantum algorithms that help its 
partners, collaborators, and clients to work effortlessly across multiple 
platforms and solve some of the most intriguing problems in their industry 
through the power of quantum computing. 

    "At CQC, we focus on pushing the technological boundaries in our pursuit of 
getting the best out of quantum computers," said CQC CEO Ilyas Khan. "We are 
delighted to have worked closely with Honeywell for over a year on their 
emerging quantum computing systems, including time as a beta user. Their steady 
advance of processing capacity has been impressive. Taking this next step with 
the H1 system is a very natural development."

    CQC recently announced 
(https://cambridgequantum.com/cambridge-quantum-computing-announces-update-to-tk
et%e2%9f%a9-quantum-software-development-kit-q-sdk/) an updated version of 
t|ket〉(pronounced "ticket"), its high-performance quantum software 
development kit (Q-SDK) that attains the best results on the most advanced 
quantum devices available. t|ket〉translates machine-independent 
algorithms into executable circuits, optimizing the physical qubit layout while 
reducing the number of required operations to speed the development of quantum 
computing applications across multiple industry sectors.
