IQM reserved about 2.8 million shares for new staff plans while Diraq booked a measurement lab at Albuquerque’s Roadrunner Quantum Lab. The same cycle put Classiq’s surface-code engine in an SDK, a three-year BTQ-Kaia wallet deal, and a C12-Thales radar award on one calendar. The wrap-up has the figures, the MOUs that are still only MOUs, and the source list.
Pasqal moved atom trapping onto a photonic chip, Q-CTRL ran a 100-qubit Fourier Transform on IBM hardware, and Quantinuum parked Helios inside Oracle’s cloud. Utah formalized a statewide quantum initiative while Infleqtion doubled revenue and raised guidance. Post-quantum tools reached GSA schedules and live blockchains. This was the week hardware, software, and policy all accelerated together.
BTQ Technologies completed its acquisition of QPerfect and reported commercial progress across its trusted quantum platform in its Q2 2026 corporate update. QSSN surpassed 100,000 transactions processed on mainnet and advanced toward potential production deployment through a Korean bank-led stablecoin proof-of-concept, while Bitcoin Quantum brought its mining and hosting infrastructure to mainnet readiness. Technical and commercial details on MIMIQ expansion, Digital Twin development, and QCIM silicon milestones are covered in the full report.
BTQ Technologies and ICTK have completed the design of their next-generation QCIM-PUF security chip. This achievement combines BTQ’s QCIM cryptographic accelerator with ICTK’s VIA PUF technology to enable hardware-rooted device authentication and post-quantum cryptographic agility. The platform targets IoT, AI devices, industrial systems, and connected infrastructure requiring long-term security resilience. Backed by a €13.9 million development agreement, test chips are set to ship to customers by year-end. This positions BTQ strongly in Korea’s quantum security market and supports global commercialization of quantum-secure solutions.

This quantum computing weekly round-up captures explosive progress across funding, hardware, security, and international developments. Key highlights include U.S. Department of Energy’s $37 million push for quantum algorithms, IQM’s system delivery to Aalto University, and Quantinuum’s new Singapore R&D center with Helios plans. Security hardened with PQShield’s compact post-quantum libraries and IBM’s messaging protections, signaling the field’s shift toward practical, scalable applications amid a global race.
BTQ Technologies announces major endorsements for its Quantum Secure Stablecoin Network (QSSN). The U.S. Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF) highlights QSSN as a model for quantum-secure tokenized deposits. Meanwhile, QuINSA unanimously advances it as a global standards initiative.
