Quantinuum launched its Generative Quantum AI framework that aims to combine AI, quantum computing and supercomputers to address problems classical computing can't solve.
The launch of "Gen QAI" is designed to move quantum computing use cases toward business needs today. Many of these approaches involve hybrid strategies that blend quantum computing and supercomputing.
In January, these quantum computing use cases (and the pure play stocks) came under scrutiny after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said corporate value was 15 to 30 years away.

- CxOs need to focus on quantum computing readiness, not the noise
- Practical quantum computing advances ramp up going into 2025
- Quantum computing all in on hybrid HPC with classical computing
According to Quantinuum, Gen QAI will leverage unique data generated by quantum computing to enable commercial applications ranging from medicine discovery, financial markets and supply chain optimization.
Specifically, Quantinuum's H2 quantum computer will generate data that can be used to train AI systems to enhance models. In other words, quantum computing could become the real AI factory.
In mid-2025, Quantinuum is on schedule to launch its Helios system, a more advanced quantum computer that can expand use cases.
Dr. Raj Hazra, President and CEO of Quantinuum, said:
"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."
Merck KGaA was cited as a customer using Quantinuum's framework to generate synthetic data.
From here, Quantinuum said it will work with industry partners to expand use cases beyond GPUs. The company said it is working with HPE to utilize quantum computing in the automotive sector.
