- 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 most advanced quantum computer, Helios, will be deployed in a US-based OCI AI data center to enable hybrid quantum-AI workloads as an OCI service.
- 吃瓜黑料网 and Oracle aim to support enterprise, AI lab, academic, and research applications spanning drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, and large-scale optimization, including AI workloads.
Broomfield, CO and Austin, TX, August 11th, 2026 鈥 吃瓜黑料网 (NASDAQ: QNT), a leading quantum computing company, and Oracle today announced a multi-year strategic partnership to bring quantum computing to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Under the partnership, OCI customers will be able to directly access 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 Helios, the most accurate commercial quantum computer in the world1, 聽through OCI鈥檚 quantum service, alongside OCI鈥檚 high-performance computing (HPC) and GPU infrastructure.
Together, 吃瓜黑料网 and Oracle plan to explore how hybrid quantum-AI infrastructure could address some of the most computationally intensive challenges facing enterprises and broaden access for universities and research institutions advancing scientific discovery and education. The partnership reflects a shared vision that the future of enterprise computing will be built on the convergence of AI, classical supercomputing, and quantum computing. Many complex problems across materials discovery, drug development, logistics, energy, and financial modeling already push the limits of today鈥檚 computing architectures.
鈥淲e believe the next phase of enterprise computing will be shaped by bringing quantum, AI, and high-performance computing together,鈥 said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, President and CEO of 吃瓜黑料网. 鈥淒eploying Helios inside OCI gives 吃瓜黑料网 and Oracle an opportunity to create a unique deeply integrated environment for hybrid workloads, explore enterprise use cases with customers, and accelerate commercial adoption.鈥
Quantum computing offers a fundamentally different approach to computation with the potential to address problems that are impractical for traditional systems alone. In addition, quantum computing uses significantly less energy than supercomputers. A single Helios system has an estimated power draw of less than one percent of the draw reported for leading supercomputers,2 offering a lower power complementary resource for suitable hybrid workloads.
鈥淎I has changed what organizations can imagine, and we believe quantum computing can expand what they鈥檙e able to solve,鈥 said Mahesh Thiagarajan, Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. 鈥淏y bringing 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 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.鈥
With 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 Helios on OCI, customers can expect to gain managed, secure access to cloud-hosted quantum computing without having to procure, install, or operate dedicated hardware or specialized facilities. Helios, launched commercially in November 2025, is 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 third-generation quantum computer. The 98-physical-qubit trapped-ion system has been used in demonstrations involving 48 logical qubits and achieves an average two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.921%, exceeding the widely cited 鈥渢hree 9s鈥 threshold. Helios is designed for hybrid integration with classical HPC and AI environments.
By operating on-premises within OCI鈥檚 infrastructure, Helios is anticipated to be able to integrate seamlessly with existing OCI compute, networking, storage, identity, and data services under the same governance and access controls customers already use. Oracle plans to preview its OCI quantum service in the coming months, giving developers a streamlined way to move from simulation to execution on real quantum computing hardware. The planned OCI quantum service is expected to combine 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 development stack with support for open-source hybrid-programming frameworks, helping developers build, test, and refine quantum-classical applications more efficiently.
New Possibilities for Hybrid Quantum-AI Computing
鈥Our roadmap includes exploring classical-quantum hybrid computing to accelerate scientific discovery,鈥 said Johannes Blaschke, Head of Scientific Computing, GBI at Ellison Institute of Technology. 鈥淨PUs promise to unlock new insights as they are very different from the hardware that we are used to. So having both GPUs and QPUs available within OCI would provide an all-in-one platform, simplify the operation of novel hardware, and help us move at speed from concept to execution by allowing our researchers to focus on innovation. It could herald in an exciting new phase for our work.鈥
鈥淎s quantum computing moves closer to enterprise adoption, simplifying how organizations access and integrate quantum resources has become just as important as advancing the hardware itself,鈥 said Heather West, PhD, Global Quantum Research Lead at IDC. 鈥淒eploying quantum systems within private cloud environments enables organizations to integrate quantum computing into existing AI and HPC workflows through familiar cloud infrastructure and development tools, reducing barriers to adoption and making hybrid quantum-classical computing a practical part of enterprise IT.鈥
