Infleqtion Says It Hit 30 Logical Qubits on 80 Atoms. Its Own Blog Says They Ran in a Distance-2 Code That Detects Errors Rather Than Correcting Them, and About a Quarter of Shots Came Back Right

The Sept. 24 release, furnished to the SEC under Regulation FD, meets the roadmap target the company set for 2026. The CTO's technical write-up puts the code at [[8,3,2]], the hit fraction at roughly 25% against a 1-in-4,096 random baseline, and the full paper 'in the coming weeks'.

IonQ Says Its Real-Time Error Decoder Adds as Little as 0.02% Delay. The Paper Ran on a MacBook Pro, Against Simulated Qubits, and Its Own Worst Case Is 11.53%

The Sept. 22 release announces an industry first for a decoder that runs on one off-the-shelf CPU. The underlying arXiv paper was posted Aug. 25, benchmarks a 2024 Apple M4 Max laptop on Stim-style simulations rather than trapped-ion hardware, and reports stretch of up to 11.53% at the higher of its two assumed error rates.

SEALSQ's FIPS 140-3 Headline Is for a Chip With No Post-Quantum Algorithms. The Same Release Moves Its Post-Quantum Chip's First Lab Report From March to October

NIST Certificate No. 5463 covers the VaultIC408, a conventional AES, RSA and ECDSA secure element, and the company says so in its own text. The 'updated' QS7001 timetable puts the V1 hardware evaluation report in October 2026 and V2 in January 2027, against March and September in the timetable published in March.

IQM's LUMI-IQ Plan Targets Up to Nine Logical Qubits by 2029

The Nasdaq-listed Finnish builder published a three-stage upgrade plan for Finland's LUMI AI Factory. Every figure in it is a target, the endpoint is research scale, and no contract value was disclosed.

IonQ, qBraid and NVIDIA Publicise a 54% Error-Rate Cut on Six Qubits. The Paper Is a Preprint, and the Number Is a Best Case

A trapped-ion experiment combining stabilizer verification with mid-circuit measurement reports up to a 54% lower logical error rate on a six-qubit Trotter step, in an arXiv preprint that has not been peer reviewed. The company blog's headline caveat tracks the paper's own abstract; the paper's results section is narrower than either.

Xanadu Puts Calendar Years on Fault Tolerance. It Has Not Yet Put Papers Behind Them

The photonic quantum company told investors on Monday it expects fault tolerance in 2028 or 2029 and more than 1,000 logical qubits by 2031. The roadmap is dense with numbers, but every one of them is a target rather than a measured, published result, and the release cites no journal paper or preprint.

Pasqal Closes Its SPAC Merger With About $360m in Cash and Lists on Nasdaq as PSQL

The French neutral-atom quantum computing company completed its combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II and began trading on August 28. Redemptions left it with roughly $360m rather than the $500m of gross proceeds originally anticipated, and the first-day percentage gain differs sharply depending on which reference price is used.

IBM Closed Its HRL Laboratories Acquisition Wednesday Without Disclosing a Price — or a Single Spin-Qubit Fidelity Figure

IBM says the Boeing- and GM-owned Malibu lab gives it a second qubit modality alongside superconducting circuits. Neither the July announcement nor Wednesday's completion release publishes a qubit count, an error rate or a headcount.

IonQ Says Its Laser Terminals Have Reached 84 On Orbit. It Published That Number Nineteen Days Earlier.

IonQ announced a milestone on Monday for Skyloom terminals aboard satellites that launched on July 16. The same count of 84 already appeared as a bullet in IonQ's August 5 second-quarter release, which did not break out what the business earns.

Quantum X Labs Says Its AI Decoder Beat Google's Published Matching Benchmarks on One Configuration — the Aug. 21 Release Publishes No Error Rates

Quantum X Labs Inc. (Nasdaq: QXL), a Delaware-incorporated micro-cap formerly named Viewbix Inc., said on Aug. 21 that a decoder trained only on synthetic data outperformed Google's published correlated-matching and PyMatching results on the same surface-code configuration. The release cites no logical error rates, no code distance and no independent verification. Its 10-Q for the six months to June 30, filed Aug. 13, reported $646,000 of revenue from continuing operations, $2.435 million of cash and a going-concern warning.

Rigetti splits its engineering organisation in two and names a new COO and CTO. The delivery build-out lands against $5.1 million of quarterly revenue and a GAAP loss more than half made up of a non-cash warrant charge.

Rigetti Computing (Nasdaq: RGTI) said it has created a dedicated Systems Delivery organisation, moving David Rivas from chief technology officer to chief operating officer and promoting Andrew Bestwick to CTO, effective August 18. The company disclosed no customer names, no deployment counts and no dollar figures with the change. Its most recent quarter showed $5.1 million of revenue, a $52.6 million GAAP net loss that included a $29.6 million non-cash warrant revaluation, and $541.3 million of cash and investments.

IonQ Joins Canada's Quantum Sandbox Provider List — Under a Non-Binding MOU With No Disclosed Payment

IonQ and CMC Microsystems said Tuesday they had signed a memorandum of understanding to make IonQ's trapped-ion systems available through the FABrIC Quantum Computing Sandbox. The release states the MOU is non-binding, obligates neither party to buy or supply anything, and can be terminated by either side. No payment to IonQ was disclosed.

Quantum eMotion's Second-Quarter Revenue Works Out To C$1,479. The Accounts Are In Canadian Dollars; The NYSE American Quote Is Not.

The Montreal quantum random-number company furnished its June 30 interim report on Friday. Two things a US holder should fix before reading the headline numbers: the currency the accounts are kept in, and what the June quarter looks like once the March quarter is taken out of the half.

We Checked the Quantum Sector's One-Month Tape. IonQ, Rigetti and D-Wave Are Up, Not Down

A claim circulating this month holds that the three largest listed quantum-computing pure plays fell about 30% over the past month. Measured against stamped closing prices from two independent providers, all three rose between roughly 26% and 33% from mid-July to Friday's close. The gains cluster on three specific sessions in early August, and only one of them has a catalyst we could verify.

Quantinuum Takes Its Hardest Engineering Problem to Taiwan's Quanta Computer

Quantinuum Inc. (Nasdaq: QNT) signed a collaborative development agreement on Aug. 13 with Quanta Computer Inc. (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 2382) to jointly design the hardware infrastructure underneath its future trapped-ion systems. No financial terms, qubit counts, system names, volumes or roadmap dates were disclosed. What was disclosed is a change of subject: from physics milestones to whether the machine can be built more than once.

SEALSQ's Cash Is Most of Its Market Value — and the Company Has Published Two Different June 30 Numbers

A CEO letter puts cash and short-term investments at about $485 million as of June 30. Six weeks earlier, SEALSQ told the SEC the same date's figure was about $495 million. Both sit against a $599 million equity value and a business management guides to $27–36 million of 2026 revenue.

Xanadu's Cancer-Therapy Quantum Partnership Discloses No Dollars. What It Does Disclose Is More Interesting

Xanadu and the University of Alberta announced a research collaboration on Thursday to build quantum algorithms for photodynamic cancer therapy. No funding, term or scope was disclosed — but the underlying resource estimates, and Xanadu's own second-quarter numbers, say a lot about where photonic quantum computing actually stands.
