Quantinuum reported that its Helios trapped-ion computer achieved 99.9995% logical fidelity, or five errors per million operations, using a color code. The company said this is ten times lower than its own September 2026 record and within the target range for Apollo, its planned fault-tolerant machine expected by 2029.

ETH Zurich spin-off Qendra is developing a compact control system that synchronises lasers and detectors and aims to correct errors during trapped-ion and neutral-atom operations.
Jülich Supercomputing Centre said Quantinuum's Helios showed lower effective error than superconducting hardware in fault-tolerance circuit tests.
