Honeywell System H1 (quantum computer)

2020: Announcement of the Honeywell System H1 quantum computer

At the end of October, 2020 Honeywell provided the System H1 quantum computer which has 10 qubits. According to the American company, a system provides the doubled performance at the expense of the quantum volume increased up to 128.

The system provided to Honeywell differs from the quantum computers developed by IBM and Google. These developers build the qubits on superconducting schemes which work at the temperature indicators approximate to absolute zero. The qubits used by IBM and Google are capable to store quantum information during only several microseconds, at the ionic qubits used by Honeywell, coherence time is calculated seconds.

Such advantage, according to Honeywell, allows System H1 to execute transactions with data which are unavailable during the work with other systems.

Honeywell provided the quantum computer with 10 qubits - System H1

The company offers the innovation to corporate clients on a subscription through cloud API and service Azure Quantum of Microsoft corporation and also through partners of Zapata Computing and Cambridge Quantum Computing. Among the first users there is System H1: JPMorgan Chase, DHL International and also Merck & Co.

The president of division of Honeywell Quantum Solutions Tony Uttley noted that the unique methodology of the company allows to improve systematically the systems of generation H1 thanks to increase in number of qubits, increase in accuracy and modifications of functionality.

Honeywell also reported that it starts integration of the following quantum computer, System Model H2 also develops solutions for third generation (the road map the next 10 years is submitted). In process of development of Honeywell she intends to increase consistently the number of qubits and to improve quality of calculations.^[1]
