Quantinuum and UWA partner to advance Australian quantum computing

Quantinuum signed a Memorandum of Understanding with The University of Western Australia (UWA) to advance Australia's quantum capability. The partnership aims to expand access to advanced quantum computing and develop quantum talent. Through this collaboration, UWA-affiliated researchers and students will gain cloud-based access to Quantinuum's full-stack quantum computing platform, including Helios.

The collaboration is designed to explore how quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing can address complex real-world challenges. The organizations will also establish a university-wide quantum computing applications centre to identify high-value use cases in critical sectors for Australia's economy, including critical minerals, energy, agriculture, and healthcare.
