WISeQey began trading as WQEY on Nasdaq and SIX the same Monday SAIC bought Information Security Corporation for undisclosed terms. The deals sit next to a Quantinuum cloud memo in Perth and a D-Wave supply-chain fund at the University of Arkansas, neither of which installs a machine. The $15 billion figure in the Nu Quantum interview is McKinsey’s 2035 communications market, and the interview has the split.
Keyfactor announced a major expansion of its Global Partner Program on July 22, 2026. The initiative equips partners to deliver crypto-agility, quantum readiness services, and Post-Quantum Cryptography Centers of Excellence. It addresses AI-driven growth in machine identities alongside the transition to post-quantum cryptography. Partners receive skills certifications, an NFR PQC Lab, and enhanced co-selling with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The program rolls out worldwide in phases through the second half of 2026.
This week delivered the kind of concrete progress that separates hype from execution. Keyfactor secured over $1B in growth capital while Qiz Security raised $17M to operationalize post-quantum cryptographic management. The White House Summit outlined more than $2.2B in coordinated support for fault-tolerant systems by 2028, and ORNL deployed a new 20-qubit IQM quantum computer for hybrid HPC workloads. Hardware, policy, and security all moved forward in the same seven days.
The quantum computing weekly round-up this week is loaded with public-market moves, post-quantum security deployments, and a fresh wave of research that actually feels connected to real-world use. From PASQAL and Xanadu chasing the public markets to telecom giants pushing quantum-safe infrastructure, the industry looked more commercial and more geopolitical at once. Add in new work on molecular simulation, drug discovery, quantum debugging, and dark-matter sensors, and this was one of those weeks where skipping the links would be a tactical error.
The Quantum-Safe 360 Alliance assembles top specialists from Quantinuum, Keyfactor, Thales, and IBM Consulting to confront encryption vulnerabilities posed by quantum computers. This group drives the adoption of post-quantum cryptography by emphasizing cryptographic agility and offering practical frameworks for secure transitions. Organizations benefit from shared knowledge to protect sensitive data proactively.
Keyfactor, a digital trust leader, secured its sixth consecutive Inc. 5000 ranking in 2025, driven by demand for quantum-ready security solutions. The company is at the forefront of post-quantum cryptography and AI-driven PKI management. Its innovations help enterprises navigate a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
