- A company based in the Boulder Valley, including entities like Infleqtion and Apollo, has become a hub for quantum research, targeting commercial-scale fault-tolerant systems.
- A new quantum entity formed from Honeywell Quantum Solutions is targeting Apollo for a system in 2029.
Quantinuum Achieves Low Error Rate on Helios Computer; Sandia Validates Architecture
What happened
Quantinuum announced that its Helios trapped-ion quantum computer achieved below-threshold color code operation. At the highest code distance tested, the logical error rate was five errors per million operations. Sandia National Laboratories independently confirmed that a scaled-up version of this architecture could reach fault-tolerant performance at a physically feasible size.

Why it matters
The achievement, which sets the lowest published logical error rate across all quantum hardware platforms, validates Quantinuum's 2029 Apollo fault-tolerant roadmap. The independent validation from Sandia National Laboratories confirms the engineering foundation necessary for scaling the architecture.
