On Tuesday, D-Wave, Rigetti, Quantinuum, and PsiQuantum each locked in awards of up to $100 million under the CHIPS and Science Act. GlobalFoundries said the same day that it had closed its three hundred and seventy-five million dollar quantum foundry agreement. The cash comes from a May 21 package of $2.013 billion across nine companies. IBM and GlobalFoundries were picked to build wafer and chi…

IonQ reports a 20,000-physical-qubit quantum computer could break secp256k1, the cryptographic standard securing Bitcoin, in under 26 days. This estimate, detailed in a newly published paper, significantly accelerates timelines for potential cryptographic vulnerability previously projected for the 2030s. IonQ’s research team optimized the algorithm, compiler, hardware, and error-correction layer …

Researchers have developed ultra-thin smart materials that can be reprogrammed with light, making way for adaptable sensors and brain-inspired computers.

Nature Physics, Published online: 08 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03418-w Random access memory is an important element of classical computers, but equivalent schemes for quantum computers are much less mature. Now an eight-qubit random access memory has been demonstrated using superconducting circuits.

NEC reportedly quits development of quantum computers, but plans to explore practical applications for such systems.

Singapore & Luxembourg will deepen cooperation in areas like artificial intelligence, and quantum technology, plus space tech.

Fujitsu today announced the development of the world’s first working prototype of a diamond-spin quantum computer incorporating tin-vacancy (SnV) centers into photonic integrated circuits. The prototype, which can be operated at -271.6°C, has been demonstrated in a test environment via the Fujitsu Hybrid Quantum Computing Platform.

ChenFull Precision has expanded rapidly in recent years from traditional precision manufacturing operations such as welding and surface treatment into the semiconductor process equipment supply chain. Its overall business portfolio is also shifting increasingly toward semiconductors, with the company formally reclassified as a semiconductor stock on the Taipei Stock Exchange in 2025.

As AI processors advance toward higher compute density, larger package footprints, and increased bandwidth demands, advanced packaging and high-speed data transmission have emerged as critical bottlenecks for AI infrastructure. Corning is expanding the deployment of advanced glass solutions across packaging, glass substrates, and optical communications, while partnering with ecosystem players to …

Labs kept shrinking the photonics stack and turning microwave noise into entanglement, while governments treated GPS denial and post-quantum migration as operational work. Europe still published more than it commercialized. Japan’s NEC left the hardware race. Makes ya'wonder!? The post The Qubit Report: September 7, 2026 appeared first on The Qubit Report .

Explore quantum computing at Moth Hack 2026 in London, with free, walk-in access to try the Moth’s Atlas platform and engage with the team, Saturday & Sunday.

On the same IBM quantum processor, on the same afternoon, the same two-qubit circuit took 2 seconds to run and 61 minutes to reach the front of the queue — a queue-to-execution ratio of 1822:1 . For every second of actual quantum computation, the user waited more than half an hour in line. The quantum part was never the bottleneck. The scheduling was. TL;DR. Quantum computers are now cloud resour…

The accelerating quantum revolution has transformed the safeguarding of digital information into a matter of civilisational urgency.

Quantum computers are supposed to have abilities far beyond conventional ones, but verifying that they...

Between 1811 and about 1816, textile workers in the English Midlands and the North already worked at knitting frames that had existed since the 1500s. They rented them, paid the rent when orders were thin, and sold the work back to a clothing merchant. This way of working remained dominant until the rise of manufacturing models, or rather textile machines, that reduced the need for human interact…

Develop high-performance control software for trapped-ion quantum computers by creating frameworks that translate ion transport specifications into voltage waveforms. Collaborate with physicists and engineers to optimize transport operations, integrate physics simulations, and support scalable quantum computing systems...
