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.
IonQ used September 8, 2026 Investor Day to launch Superion 256, open 2027 deliveries, and raise 2026 revenue guidance to $450 million to $460 million after the SkyWater close. The same package included an $8.18 million Congruity360 quantum-safe networking agreement and a fully compiled Walking Cat estimate putting secp256k1 at 19,397 physical qubits and 25.7 days per attempt. Error-correction parameters, the 20,000-versus-19,397 qubit accounting, and the standalone-to-raised guidance bridge are in the full article.
Week Ending 21 | 8 | 2026. What a blockbuster week for quantum tech—hubs opening in Colorado and Austin, D-Wave production apps cutting real network load, IBM modular cryogenics online, Pasqal heading for Nasdaq, record 420 km entanglement, and post-quantum crypto now live on Akamai’s network.

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has advanced nine digital signature algorithms to the third round of its Additional Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization process. These candidates offer diverse options including compact isogeny-based SQIsign and efficient lattice-based HAWK schemes. The selection enhances resilience against quantum threats for applications from IoT devices to software signing and TLS certificates.
This quantum computing weekly roundup captures big developments from Google’s quantum threat alarm to NASA’s space sensor launch. From research breakthroughs in Majorana qubits to massive funding pours into infrastructure, the weekdelivered accelerating global momentum. Nations and companies are racing to dominate, making these stories essential for anyone tracking quantum’s rise.
