*semiconductor · news · 2026-05-21 · The Manila Times*

## Key points

- Quantinuum and bp are scaling quantum methods to simulate complex subsurface properties for energy exploration.
- Quantum computing could enable seismic imaging resolution gains by adding a single qubit, unlike classical scaling.
- Hybrid quantum-classical systems may optimize seismic data analysis by dividing logic and heavy computation tasks.
- This collaboration could be the first industrial demonstration of quantum computing solving real-world infrastructure bottlenecks.

**Companies:** bp, Quantinuum
**Countries:** United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Qatar, Singapore
