According to AI TIMES, Quanta Computer will showcase a vacuum chamber demonstration device for its quantum computer Helios, along with development and application software, at the International Quantum Industry Expo 2026, which opens on September 9. Through the exhibition, the company will present both how Helios can be used via the cloud today and its Apollo plan, which is targeting a launch in 2029. On site, it plans to explain how the equipment works, focusing on the structure for trapping, controlling, and then measuring ions, as well as the role of the laser system in quantum operations. It will also introduce a development environment that allows Korean researchers and companies to test algorithms and review industry-specific challenges without separate equipment. On the software side, programming, simulation, chemistry and materials simulation, links to generative AI, and integration with classical computing will be presented as one usage track. Quanta Computer is seeking collaboration opportunities in Korea centered on AI, chemistry, and materials science, while emphasizing that quantum computing is preparing to move beyond the research stage and into real industrial operations.
Perspective
The significance of this issue is that competition in quantum computing is shifting beyond performance showcases toward practical adoption paths and ecosystem building. This exhibition ties together equipment principles, cloud access, development tools, industrial applications, and the next-generation roadmap in one flow, shifting market attention from research demonstrations to validation of use cases. From a Korean perspective, it is also a signal that talent and projects can be prepared in advance even before hardware is physically brought in, showing that what needs to be proven first is becoming more important than who can use it first.
