The United States took minority stakes in D-Wave, Rigetti, and Quantinuum as part of $300 million in CHIPS awards finalized this week, with GlobalFoundries separately locking $375 million for domestic quantum manufacturing. IonQ launched Superion 256, opened 2027 deliveries, and raised 2026 revenue guidance to $450 million to $460 million after closing SkyWater. Click through for Quantinuum’s Hel…

Scientists are combining an electron microscope with a quantum computer to squeeze far more information from each electron. The approach could reveal faint details with fewer electrons, helping protect fragile samples that conventional microscopy can damage.

Meet Dianto Bosman, Marlo Kürner, and Kristian Gogoranext week at IEEE Quantum Week 2026 in Toronto. Kristian will also present OrangeQS Juice at unitaryCON26, the Unitary Foundation’s annual community event for the global quantum open-source ecosystem, bringing together leading contributors, developers and researchers.

IonQ’s claim that a 20,000-qubit machine could crack Bitcoin encryption within 26 days is a startling escalation and reignites fears about the most popular cryptocurrency and others too.

IonQ’s claim that a 20,000-qubit machine could crack Bitcoin encryption within 26 days is a startling escalation and reignites fears about the most popular cryptocurrency and others too. This shows a central tension currently shaping quantum development: the race between building bigger machines and building useful machines. Rumours about Bitcoin’s vulnerability have circulated for years, […

Nature Communications, Published online: 12 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-76736-5 This study combines an optical phasedarray LiDAR with an integrated photonic neural network to map three-dimensional scenes and classify materials using polarization-resolved optical echoes.

Helium—the lightest atom that can be laser-cooled and controlled—powers a new design for high-powered, stable quantum computers. In a paper published in PRX Quantum, a team led by University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Physics Department Associate Professor Jacob Covey outlined a new concept that could turn helium’s light weight into the […]

Most people trust that the passwords, bank accounts, medical records and private messages they use every day are protected by encryption. But as quantum computing advances, some of today's most widely used security tools could eventually become breakable. That means information stolen now could potentially be saved and unlocked years later, when quantum computers are powerful enough to crack prot…

Michele Simoncelli’s group unveiled a new benchmark, developed with University of Cambridge colleagues, to assess machine learning models predicting material properties.

Nobody in Washington thought of quantum computing as a security problem twenty-five years ago.

Through this collaboration, Canadian photonic quantum computing company Xanadu and ASML will explore lithography-enabled process approaches for improved patterning control and lower-loss photonic structures. The post Xanadu, ASML to Advance Lithography for Photonic Quantum Hardware appeared first on Semiconductor Digest .

In this episode: AI-enhanced imaging produces clearer images, iPronics and Xanadu receive significant funding, and a new optical fiber type shows promise for quantum signal processing.
