Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up: Week Ending May 23, 2026
This week delivered a surge in quantum computing activity with major funding from the US and France, new quantum hardware deployments in the Middle East, and important research findings that push the field forward. Governments and companies alike are moving faster than ever, turning ambitious roadmaps into actual systems and infrastructure. Highlights include IBM’s quantum foundry announcement with the US Department of Commerce, Pasqal and Aramco’s 200-qubit system in Saudi Arabia, imec’s EUV lithography qubit milestone, NIST post-quantum candidates advancing, PsiQuantum’s Australian expansion, and Quantinuum’s industrial design collaboration with Synopsys. All of it, here, at The Qubit Report.
