HORIZON QUANTUM LAUNCHES BERYLLIUM FOR SIMPLIFIED QUANTUM PROGRAMMING




KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 (Bernama) -- Horizon Quantum Computing Pte Ltd (Horizon Quantum), a pioneer of software infrastructure for quantum applications, unveiled Beryllium, a hardware-agnostic, high-level programming language designed to make quantum software development more accessible.

Horizon Quantum founder and chief executive officer, Dr Joe Fitzsimons said Beryllium represents an important milestone in bridging classical and quantum programming.

"At Horizon Quantum, we believe that enabling conventional software developers to harness quantum computers will be key to unlocking new applications,” he said in a statement.

Beryllium is an object-orientated language that allows developers to start with simple classical and quantum building blocks, then progressively create richer structures by reusing and extending previously defined components.

The language shifts focus from managing qubits and low-level operations to structuring and transforming information, raising the level of abstraction and reducing complexity in quantum programming.

Beryllium is the third of four abstraction layers in Horizon Quantum’s roadmap to bridge classical programming with quantum-accelerated computing.

Developers can access Beryllium through Triple Alpha, the company’s integrated development environment, alongside existing Turing-complete languages Helium—a BASIC-like language for concurrent classical/quantum workflows—and Hydrogen, a portable assembly-like language for general control flow.

Horizon Quantum is previewing Beryllium at Q2B Silicon Valley, a leading quantum technology conference, highlighting additional advancements in its software stack, including pulse-level capabilities and Hydrogen execution on control systems hardware.
