# Quantum computing and security industry developments > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/quantum-computing-and-security-industry-developments > Updated: 2026-08-24T00:18:27.000Z. Sources: 45. Developments: 5. The quantum technology sector is seeing increased commercial activity through strategic partnerships aimed at infrastructure integration and security. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and EigenQ Inc. have partnered to develop post-quantum cryptography solutions via PCIe-based upgrades for existing HPE servers. Quantinuum and Oracle have entered a multi-year agreement to integrate Quantinuum’s Helios quantum computer into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Helios, a third-generation ion-trap system utilizing a quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) architecture, is being deployed in a U.S.-based Oracle AI data center. This architecture physically moves charged particles between storage and calculation zones to reduce interference and enable real-time error correction. The integration allows OCI customers to access quantum capabilities as a managed service alongside high-performance computing and GPU resources, targeting workloads in drug discovery, materials science, and financial modeling. While Helios operates with 98 qubits, experts note that millions of qubits will be required for full-scale scientific utility. Quantinuum is further expanding its industrial footprint through a collaboration with Quanta Computer to develop the hardware manufacturing ecosystems required for scalable, fault-tolerant systems. Following a $1.7 billion initial public offering, Quantinuum reported a 279% year-over-year revenue increase in its second-quarter 2026 results, reaching $8 million, with over $2 billion in cash on hand for business acceleration. ## Claims - Quantinuum and Oracle have entered a multi-year strategic partnership to integrate quantum computing into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
