Quantum computing company Quantinuum has launched its Generative Quantum AI (Gen QAI) framework, a new approach to quantum-powered artificial intelligence.
The approach uses quantum-generated data to enhance AI systems, unlocking commercial applications in industries including pharmaceuticals, financial modeling and supply chain management.
The framework targets real-world problems where classical computing faces limitations.
Quantinuum's approach uses its H2 quantum computer to generate data to train AI models to improve the accuracy and problem-solving capacity of AI, pushing the boundaries of what is computationally possible.
"We are at one of those moments where the hypothetical is becoming real and the breakthroughs made possible by the precision of this quantum-generated data will create transformative commercial value across countless sectors," said Quantinuum president and CEO Raj Hazra.
"Gen QAI is a direct result of our full-stack capabilities and our leadership in hybrid classical-quantum computing, delivering an entirely new approach that stands to revolutionize AI."
Hazra plans to discuss Gen QAI as part of an expert panel at the opening ceremony for the U.N.'s International Year of Quantum.
While standalone quantum computing is some years away, Quantinuum's new technology could bring real-world applications closer, as demonstrated by a partnership with health care multinational Merck.
"The generation of meaningful synthetic data, specifically when you do not have many training data, is nontrivial and we see it as a new era for AI unlocked by quantum technologies," said Merck health care innovation incubator lead Thomas Ehmer.
He said Quantinuum's upcoming Helios system, scheduled to launch later this year, could enable industries to use AI in unprecedented ways.
Quantinuum is also collaborating with HPE Group in Italy to explore quantum computing applications in the automotive sector.
"At HPE, we have a long-standing tradition of employing cutting-edge technologies for our clients in motorsport," said HPE group executive vice president Enzo Ferrari.
"We are thrilled about our collaboration with Quantinuum, leveraging quantum-generated data for applications such as battery development, aerodynamic optimization and fuel innovation."
Quantinuum's Helios quantum computer is set to launch in mid-2025 and is expected to offer enhanced computational capabilities with key applications in drug discovery and climate modeling.
In a key use case, it is slated to run Gen QAI to enhance the study of metallic organic frameworks for drug delivery, potentially enabling more efficient and personalized treatment options.
