Horizon Quantum deployed Singapore’s first commercial quantum computer, becoming the country’s first private firm to operate its own system. The machine integrates components from multiple quantum hardware suppliers and establishes the software-focused startup as a full-stack player in an increasingly competitive sector. The launch comes as the company prepares for a planned Nasdaq listing via a merger with dMY Squared Technology Group.
The deployment aligns with Singapore’s broader quantum strategy, which includes a S$300 million commitment to accelerate local processor development and expand national research capacity. The city-state has invested in quantum initiatives since 2007 and is positioning itself as a regional hub as global firms race to commercialize next-generation computing.
Horizon Quantum said the system will serve as a testbed to support developers building quantum applications across industries such as pharmaceuticals and financial services. The move reflects rising institutional interest as major technology companies and governments expand investment in quantum infrastructure.
