The Helios paper from @QuantinuumQC is out on arxiv -
It is feat of quantum hardware and software.
If you follow me, you're probably a software nerd. I want take a scenic tour of a software aspect that is very cool.
No quantum knowledge necessary.arxiv.org/abs/2511.05465
Mandatory note: I work at Quantinuum. Opinions are mine. Metaphors mine, inaccuracies mine, bad writing mine.
I'm posting this because we've done something cool, and now it has launched, I want to share it with software folk who aren't exposed to this field.
Hope you like it.
