Problem
Organizations that need to run workloads across classical, AI, and emerging quantum hardware face fragmented tooling, complex scheduling, and high expertise requirements. Inefficient resource allocation and the need to understand device‑specific APIs increase operational costs and limit the portability of quantum applications.
Solution
Helix 42 delivers an orchestration platform that unifies classical, AI, and quantum compute resources under a single control plane. The system employs an agentic AI stack to monitor workload demands and automatically allocate resources, adjusting schedules in real time. By building on Kubernetes and Slurm, the platform integrates with existing data‑center and cloud environments while providing quantum‑native extensions for emerging hardware. Security‑by‑design principles, including zero‑trust networking and confidential computing, protect data across heterogeneous nodes. The platform abstracts device‑specific details, allowing users to submit workloads without deep knowledge of each quantum device, thereby improving portability and reducing the need for specialized staff.
Target Audience
Helix 42 targets enterprises, research institutions, and cloud providers that operate mixed compute environments and need to incorporate quantum processing into production workloads. The primary customers are teams responsible for high‑performance computing, AI model serving, and emerging quantum applications.
