Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up: Week Ending September 12, 2026

The United States took minority stakes in D-Wave, Rigetti, and Quantinuum as part of $300 million in CHIPS awards finalized this week, with GlobalFoundries separately locking $375 million for domestic quantum manufacturing. IonQ launched Superion 256, opened 2027 deliveries, and raised 2026 revenue guidance to $450 million to $460 million after closing SkyWater. Click through for Quantinuum’s Helix numbers on Helios, IonQ’s 19,397-qubit secp256k1 estimate, SandboxAQ’s MagNav hours on Lumberjack, and Cloudflare’s first ML-DSA-44 DNSSEC path.

EPFL Partners with Quantinuum for First Swiss Academic Cloud Access to Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers via SCITAS Platform

EPFL has become the first Swiss academic institution to offer researchers cloud access to advanced quantum computers. The initiative, developed by the Center for Quantum Science and Engineering and SCITAS in partnership with Quantinuum, embeds trapped-ion hardware access directly into the university’s high-performance computing environment. Scientists can now test quantum algorithms and perform digital simulations on systems noted for high fidelity and low decoherence. Plans also include extending hands-on access to master’s students in quantum science and engineering.

DuoKey Launches Quantum Risk Score to Prioritize Enterprise Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration

DuoKey SA has introduced the Quantum Risk Score, a free and auditable tool that provides organizations with a 0-100 composite score of their cryptographic exposure to quantum threats based solely on publicly observable signals. The assessment generates a board-ready report featuring a complete cryptographic inventory, a prioritized migration matrix, regulatory gap analysis across major frameworks including NIST and CNSA 2.0, and a 36-month migration roadmap. This launch at VivaTech Paris comes as enterprises face tightening timelines for post-quantum cryptography adoption, with the NSA CNSA 2.0 mandate approaching in 2027 and NIST planning to deprecate RSA-2048 and ECDSA by 2030. The solution requires no internal credentials or system access, making it an accessible first step for leadership teams seeking to understand and address their quantum readiness.

Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up: Week Ending March 7, 2026

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.
