_Companies aim to explore advanced industrial engineering and design applications
leveraging Quantinuum’s high-fidelity quantum computing platform_

TOKYO, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quantinuum, a leading quantum computing company,
announced today that it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a recognized global leader in the manufacturing,
marketing, and sale of electrical and electronic equipment and systems, to establish
a framework for a strategic partnership aiming at accelerating the development of
quantum computing applications for advanced industrial engineering and design.

The agreement creates a foundation for the companies to jointly identify high-impact
industrial use cases and explore quantum and hybrid quantum-classical approaches
for next-generation engineering workflows. Expected initial areas of focus include
computer-aided engineering (CAE), such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and
broader simulation and design applications utilizing logical qubit operations on
Quantinuum’s quantum platform. 

"We are pleased to begin this collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric as we work 
toward meaningful quantum utility to industrial engineering," said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra,
President and CEO of Quantinuum. "By combining Quantinuum’s leading quantum computing
capabilities with Mitsubishi Electric’s deep engineering expertise, we aim to address
some of the world’s most complex design and simulation challenges." 

Under the envisaged partnership, Quantinuum would provide Mitsubishi Electric with
access to its high-fidelity trapped-ion quantum systems and expert consultation 
on quantum algorithm development. Mitsubishi Electric would contribute domain expertise
in electromagnetic field analysis, structural analysis, and thermal fluid simulation
across a wide range of industrial applications such as factory automation, energy
and public utilities, air conditioning, and building systems.  

"We are delighted to initiate discussions with Quantinuum to advance a strategic
quantum computing partnership under this MOU," said Mikio Takabayashi, Senior General
Manager, Information Technology R&D Center of Mitsubishi Electric. "By integrating
manufacturing expertise with digital insights, we aim to evaluate the feasibility
and potential applications of quantum technologies in industrial engineering, while
generating new ideas and exploring use cases that have the potential to contribute
to society and the environment."

The MOU reflects a shared recognition that near-term engagement with quantum computing
may create long-term strategic advantages as the technology continues its advance
toward commercial adoption. The companies believe that organizations that act early
will be better positioned to help shape use cases, build proprietary expertise and
secure intellectual property rights, and help secure access to emerging quantum 
infrastructure and amid growing demand.

Through the MOU, the companies will evaluate opportunities for future collaboration
that have the potential to accelerate technological innovation and create sustained
value for global industry.
