Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up: Week Ending August 1, 2026
Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up for the week ending August 1, 2026 delivered hard proof that quantum signals can share live commercial fiber, silicon processors can run their own error correction, and real capital plus telco deals are turning roadmaps into working infrastructure. Northwestern pushed entangled photons 15 miles through Chicago traffic at 94 percent fidelity. ZuriQ raised $25.5 million for its 2D trapped-ion architecture while HRL showed an 18-qubit silicon chip controlling itself inside the cryostat. AT&T expanded its D-Wave footprint and post-quantum authentication reached origin servers. Readers who skip the links will feel the FOMO.
