Horizons Beryllium Language for next-gen quantum programming
Horizon Quantum Introduces Beryllium, an Object-Oriented Quantum Computer Programming Language
Horizon Quantum Computing Pte. Ltd. (“Horizon Quantum”), a provider of quantum software infrastructure, released Beryllium, a hardware-independent high-level programming language for quantum computers, today.
Beryl Language
Beryllium Language is object-oriented. Programmers can start with fundamental quantum and classical building blocks and incrementally develop more complicated, higher-level systems by expanding and reusing their descriptions. This stacking abstraction strategy lets developers focus on information structure rather than qubits and processing details. Beryllium aims to make quantum software development easier for programmers without quantum physics knowledge by abstracting information and refocusing attention away from physical representation and processing.
Horizon Quantum creator and CEO Dr. Joe Fitzsimons believes that allowing traditional software developers to use quantum computers will enable new applications. He noted that Beryllium represents a turning point because it introduces the abstraction needed to bridge classical and quantum programming.
Technology and Integration Stack
Beryllium, the third of four abstraction layers, is part of Horizon Quantum's ambitious goal of connecting quantum-accelerated processing with classical programming.
Horizon’s Triple Alpha integrated development environment will offer Beryllium to developers. Triple Alpha will house Beryllium and two more Turing-complete languages:
Helium, a BASIC-like language for quantum and classical operations. Hydrogen, a portable assembly-like language with broad control flow. Horizon Quantum will preview Beryllium at Q2B Silicon Valley, a leading quantum technology conference, this week. The company will also demonstrate its software stack's new pulse-level capabilities and Hydrogen code running directly on control systems hardware during the conference.
Recent Business Achievements
Beryllium was disclosed after Horizon Quantum completed its first quantum computer assembly and integration at its Singapore headquarters on December 3, 2025. Horizon Quantum became the first quantum software company with a quantum computer.
Horizon Quantum, founded by Dr. Fitzsimons in 2018, aims to empower developers to use quantum computing to solve the world's hardest computational problems by designing software architecture that unlocks broad quantum advantage. The company is developing cutting-edge quantum software development tools to bridge the hardware-application divide.
About Horizon Quantum
Horizon Quantum creates software architecture that enable developers to employ quantum computing to solve the world's hardest computational problems while leveraging broad quantum advantage.
Dr. Joe Fitzsimons, a 20-year quantum computing researcher and lecturer, started the company in 2018. The company aims to bridge the gap between hardware and applications by producing cutting-edge quantum software development tools. Triple Alpha, its integrated development environment, lets developers build complex, hardware-agnostic quantum applications at various abstraction levels.
In conclusion,
Beryllium, a high-level, object-oriented, hardware-agnostic language that abstracts qubits to simplify quantum programming, is important. Triple Alpha, the company's complete development environment, will offer beryllium to connect classical and quantum computing. Horizon Quantum is Singapore's first quantum software company with a quantum computer.
