Quantinuum Unveils Nexus, All-in-One Quantum Computing Platform

Quantinuum, a leading quantum computing company, has introduced its comprehensive all-in-one platform, Quantinuum Nexus, which is now available in beta. This innovative platform is designed to simplify quantum computing workflows with expert design and full-stack support.

Developed by in-house quantum experts, Nexus streamlines the deployment of quantum algorithms, addressing common pain points such as installing packages and libraries, and setting up storage. The platform seamlessly integrates thoughtful details to enhance user experience, allowing users to run, track, and manage resources across multiple quantum backends.

With its cloud-hosted JupyterHub environment and dedicated simulators, including the Quantinuum H-Series emulator, Nexus provides a unique opportunity for researchers to directly compare results and processes using various hardware providers.

Introducing Quantinuum Nexus: A Comprehensive Quantum Computing Platform

Quantinuum has announced the beta availability of its all-in-one quantum computing platform, Quantinuum Nexus. This comprehensive platform is designed to simplify quantum computing workflows with its expert design and full-stack support. By integrating thoughtful details, Nexus aims to enhance user experience and streamline the deployment of quantum algorithms.

Nexus allows users to run, track, and manage resources across multiple quantum backends, making it easier for researchers to directly compare results and processes when using Quantinuum’s H-Series hardware or other providers. The platform features a cloud-hosted and preconfigured JupyterHub environment and dedicated simulators, including the Quantinuum H-Series emulator. This emulator integration enables new users and organizations without access to H-Series hardware to experiment with H-Series capabilities immediately.

Full-Stack Mindset: Seamless Integration of Hardware and Software

Quantinuum Nexus is at the core of the company’s full stack, integrating fully with its H-Series Quantum Processor, software offerings such as InQuanto, and H-Series emulators. The platform is also back-end inclusive, interfacing with multiple other hardware and simulation backends. In the future, Quantinuum plans to introduce new cutting-edge tools, including a more powerful cloud-based version of its compiler, powered by version 2 of TKET.

Nexus stores everything needed to recreate an experiment in one place, providing a full snapshot of the backend, settings, and variables used. Combined with easy data sharing and storage, users can focus on their research without worrying about logistics. The platform allows users to structure their data, track what’s most important, and control who has access.

Tools for Administrators: Resource Controls and Collaboration

Administrators benefit from resource controls within Nexus, enabling them to manage user access, create user groups, and update usage quotas according to their priorities. With multiple backend support, administrators can track jobs and usage for all their quantum resources. The platform also provides a consistent API for working with a range of quantum devices and tools, improving the experience of end users and facilitating integration with third-party partners.

Collaborative Projects: Organizing and Sharing Quantum Computing Research

In Nexus, projects allow users to store related data together, such as circuits, results, and snapshots of the quantum system. Users can create multiple projects, each with a unique name, and share them with other users or teams. Project administrators can archive or delete projects when they are no longer active.

The platform’s project structure enables researchers to collaborate more effectively, making it easier to search for specific experiments and store information about an experiment. However, users should be aware that projects created by others may have the same name, potentially causing confusion if shared.

Setting a New Standard in Quantum Platform-as-a-Service Providers

With Nexus, Quantinuum is setting a new standard in quantum Platform-as-a-Service providers, empowering users with cutting-edge tools and seamless integration for quantum computing advancements. By providing a comprehensive platform that integrates hardware and software, Quantinuum aims to accelerate the development of quantum computing applications and research.
