Quantinuum, a Broomfield quantum computing company, is launching a joint venture with Al Rabban Capital, part of Al Rabban Holding Co. This initiative aims to promote quantum computing adoption in Qatar and the surrounding region.
The joint venture, highlighted during a recent state visit to Qatar by U.S. President Donald Trump, aims to establish the U.S. and Qatar as global leaders in quantum technologies. Its three main objectives include providing access to Quantinuum’s quantum technologies, co-developing tailored quantum applications in several fields, and training future quantum computing developers in the region.
Quantinuum’s expansion into Qatar follows its growth in the U.S., U.K., Europe and the Indo-Pacific, responding to rising demand for its technologies. This partnership underscores the commitment of the U.S. and Qatar to enhance strategic ties and invest in future industries.
The joint venture builds on a previous partnership between Quantinuum, Hamad Bin Khalifa University and the Qatar Center for Quantum Computing, Qatar’s leading quantum research center. “This is a defining moment in Qatar’s ambition to become a regional hub for advanced technologies like quantum computing,” said Abdulaziz Khalid Al Rabban, chairman of Al Rabban Capital. “We’re partnering with Quantinuum to deliver world-class quantum solutions, driving economic growth in Qatar and the region.”
Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, president and CEO of Quantinuum, stated, “This joint venture demonstrates our shared vision to lead in transformative technologies. Together with Al Rabban Capital, we’re accelerating the commercial adoption of quantum computing in Qatar and the region whilst serving U.S. and Qatari strategic interests.”
Quantinuum is recognized as a leader in quantum computing, with over 550 employees, including more than 370 scientists and engineers, working on advancing quantum technology globally.
