US-based full-stack quantum computing company Quantinuum has introduced H2-1, the industry's first quantum computer featuring 56 trapped-ion qubits. It reportedly has capabilities that surpass the abilities of even the most powerful conventional computers.

H2-1 achieved a 100x improvement in performing the Random Circuit Sampling (RCS) algorithms, exceeding the industry standard set by Google in 2019. It is also designed to lower power consumption by up to 30,000x compared to classical supercomputers, making it a far more energy-efficient solution. The system’s improved fidelity makes it impossible for classical computers to simulate it or for current supercomputers to match the result.
