IonQ agreed to acquire Elisity for up to $1.3 billion while SEALSQ unveiled VaultIC409 and WISeSat advanced post-quantum satellite links. The same day Imperial showcased quantum tech in San Francisco, Vietnam and France discussed Pasqal cooperation, and MIT outlined a hybrid fermion-boson toolkit. The wrap-up has the deal terms, the chip counts, and the source list.
Oratomic’s Series B put a $5.4 billion valuation on a Pasadena neutral-atom startup that has raised $775 million since March. The same day Universal Quantum closed a $100 million Series A, and Washington signed a $150 million conditional loan commitment with PsiQuantum that is not cash received. The pages behind the stickers, the MOU, and the 2028 target are the part worth clicking.
Australia’s stage-two quantum grants total $12.3 million, not the $123 million sitting in the URL slug, the same day Xanadu and GlobalFoundries called a manufacturing partnership. Forescout says only 31 percent of exposed hospital systems support TLS 1.3, and SEALSQ’s $10 million WISeSat PIPE is a related-party deal. The gene-search ‘16.8x’ is a GPU simulator result, and the excerpt stops before the method.
Quantum computing weekly round-up time, and the week ending October 3, 2026 did not bother with a soft open. Albuquerque handed keys to a 35,000-square-foot lab. Paris told a Nasdaq-listed atom company to come back with a civilian fault-tolerant plan. Cloudflare decided it wants to be a public certificate authority for the post-quantum web. Skip the links and you are briefing last month.
WISeKey reported about $11.4 million in first-half revenue and a $36.4 million net loss while Quanome’s CEO offered up to $15 million in non-dilutive capital. EPB put an IonQ Forte Enterprise on the floor in Chattanooga as Europe put €47.5 million behind a full-stack quantum network. The wrap-up has the figures, the beta that is still a simulator, and the source list.
Fairfax County Public Schools plans to put an operational XeedQ quantum computer in Skyview High School this December, with student work starting in spring 2027. The same day Quobly added CEA-Leti FAMES access, Quantonation and Deep Ocean Capital put a €1 million SAFE into QSENSATO, and a six-association survey said 90 percent of quantum firms still buy at least one part abroad. Read the commercial details, the classroom timeline, and the supply-chain numbers before the next briefing.
Infleqtion entangled 30 logical qubits on 80 physical atoms aboard Sqale, while Germany selected a QUDORA-led consortium for a €122 million 1,000-qubit trapped-ion pilot line. The same day, EU financial watchdogs warned Q-Day could arrive before commercial quantum utility, and Florida International University booked an IonQ Superion 256 for late 2027. The wrap-up has the H1 ledgers, the Shunkai rack, and the migration clocks behind those headlines.
Anderon finalized a $1 billion CHIPS award for its Albany 300-millimeter quantum foundry as IBM stacked another $1 billion behind the same line. The same cycle closed a real-time QEC loop inside 12 microseconds, put constrained compilers on IBM’s catalog, and opened a Department of Energy contest worth up to $215 million for 100 logical qubits. Commercial terms, latency tables, survey splits, and the four PQC clocks that still disagree are in the links. Get all of this and more in today’s The Qubit Report.
IBM and Lockheed Martin set a Swiss quantum hub with ETH Zurich, and a System Two bound for Lugano is due at CSCS by year-end 2026. LUMI AI Factory booked IQM’s Halocene path in Kajaani for 150 physical qubits in 2027 and as many as 9 logical qubits on H5 in 2029, while Cloudflare began validating 2,420-byte ML-DSA-44 DNSSEC on 1.1.1.1. Full briefing adds NIST TES nuclear X-ray counts, an Air Force MagNav hop with 89 percent lower backup error, and source-level caveats on staged logical-qubit claims. There’s a heck of a lot more inside.
Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up for the week ending September 5, 2026 tracks factories, racks, and post-quantum links moving at the same time. Pasqal signed a multi-year quantum-safe research pact with KACST in Riyadh. Canada put CAD $195 million behind Xanadu’s Inception photonics plant. IBM published Nighthawk r2 at 120 qubits and more than 100,000 circuits per second. Diraq reserved an Equinix cage in Sydney. Quantum-safe overlays flew on Es’hail-1 and a Greece-Cyprus satellite path.
