Honeywell reveals plans to launch world’s most powerful quantum computer

CUSTOMERS WILL CONNECT DIRECTLY TO HONEYWELL TO USE IT.

Honeywell has announced that it will release the world’s most powerful quantum computer by May, and customers will be able to connect directly to it via Honeywell or on Microsoft’s Azure Quantum platform. This machine will be more than twice as powerful as IBM’s Q System fleet, and Honeywell also announced that it is on track to increase the capabilities of its quantum computer by an order of magnitude each year for the next five years.

CEO and chairman Darius Adamczyk explained how quantum computing has the potential to transform how things are done across a number of industries, saying: “Quantum computing will enable us to tackle complex scientific and business challenges, driving step-change improvements in computational power, operating costs and speed. Materials companies will explore new molecular structures. Transportation companies will optimise logistics. Financial institutions will need faster and more precise software applications. Pharmaceutical companies will accelerate the discovery of new drugs. Honeywell is striving to influence how quantum computing evolves and to create opportunities for our customers to benefit from this powerful new technology.”
