Helios 98-Qubit Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer Debuts

Quantinuum unveiled Helios, a 98-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer, the largest of its kind built so far. Its four-way X junction and Helios runtime software enable faster, multidimensional data handling. Helios can outperform supercomputers on random benchmarks, though practical quantum computing may require around a million qubits.
