This is your Quantum Research Now podcast.

Just yesterday, Horizon Quantum made headlines by becoming the first quantum software company to own and operate its own quantum computer, right here in Singapore. As I stood in their testbed facility, the hum of cryogenic systems and the faint glow of control panels reminded me that we’re not just building machines—we’re building the future of computation. Horizon Quantum’s new system, assembled from best-in-class components including Maybell’s cryogenic platform, Quantum Machines’ control electronics, and a Rigetti superconducting quantum processor, is a modular marvel. This isn’t just a lab experiment; it’s a fully operational quantum computer, and it’s the first of its kind to be directly controlled by a software company.

What does this mean for the rest of us? Imagine a world where the software you write can talk directly to the quantum hardware, without layers of abstraction or delays. Horizon Quantum’s approach is like giving a chef direct access to the kitchen—no middlemen, no bottlenecks. Their integrated development environment, Triple Alpha, will now be able to push the boundaries of what’s possible, letting developers write quantum programs that are hardware-agnostic and seamlessly integrated. This tight coupling between hardware and software is the shortest path to quantum advantage—the moment when quantum computers solve problems that classical machines simply can’t touch.

But let’s not forget the bigger picture. Quantum computing isn’t just about faster calculations; it’s about reimagining what’s possible. Think of quantum entanglement like a pair of dice that always roll the same number, no matter how far apart they are. This strange connection is the backbone of quantum communication and cryptography, and it’s already starting to change how we think about security and information. Just last week, researchers at Stanford announced a breakthrough in quantum signaling at room temperature, which could revolutionize everything from cryptography to AI.

As I walk through the lab, I’m reminded that every quantum leap begins with a single step. Horizon Quantum’s achievement is a milestone, but it’s just the beginning. The future of computing is being written in qubits, and we’re all part of the story.
