Our role is to accelerate the advancement of AI in Israel, which is why we are transitioning swiftly and professionally from defining vision and strategy to practical implementation on the ground, together with all government partners," said Brig.-Gen. (Res.) Erez Eskel, Director of the National AI Directorate."The steps we are launching now are a central phase in securing our sovereign infrastructure while continuing to focus our efforts on the State of Israel's comparative advantages for long-term global leadership," he added.An artificial diamond for quantum sensory technology is displayed in June 2025 at the quantum technology fair World of Quantum.

Researchers map quantum dynamics to free probability theoryquantum-computing

Researchers map quantum dynamics to free probability theory

Felix Fritzsch and Pieter W. Claeys of the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems demonstrate the exponential decay of all higher-order out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) within a minimal quantum circuit model. This demonstration, a proof of decay rather than simple observation, characterizes the timescales by which local operators approach free independence as the system evolves. The researchers detail how the impact of a random environment on a quantum subsystem can be quantified, enabling a Markovian description with the addition of an auxiliary degree of freedom. This approach aligns the dynamics of OTOCs with predictions from the full eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) and offers a first step toward characterizing quantum memory in these higher-order correlators. Higher-Order OTOCs and Out-of-Equilibrium Quantum Systems The model simulates a structured quantum subsystem interacting with a completely random environment, allowing for detailed analysis of how information scrambles. The team builds upon the established influence-matrix approach to quantum dynamics, enabling a description of how the environment impacts the local subsystem. They demonstrate that this environmental impact can be quantified with a key development that facilitates a Markovian description of the system’s evolution. Achieving this Markovian description requires the introduction of an “auxiliary degree of freedom,” a specific mechanism that allows the system to evolve as if its past doesn’t influence its future, simplifying the calculations. As the paper states, “This emergence of freeness at late times has been linked to the emergence of unitary designs from physical time evolution and was proposed as an indicator for quantum chaos,” highlighting the broader implications of their findings. The approach and the resulting influence matrix are anticipated to be broadly applicable, offering a first step toward characterizing quantum memory within higher-order OTOCs

$80 million in sales—IonQ had a record quarter for quantum systemsquantum-computing

$80 million in sales—IonQ had a record quarter for quantum systems

IonQ reports second quarter 2026 revenue reached $80.1 million, a 287% increase compared to the prior year, indicating rapid growth in the emerging quantum computing market. Approximately half of this revenue came from international customers, demonstrating global demand beyond the United States. “I am pleased to report that IonQ delivered its fifth consecutive quarter of record results and the strongest quarter in our company’s history,” said Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO. The company also completed the acquisition of SkyWater Technology, creating what IonQ describes as a vertically integrated, full-stack quantum platform. Record 2026 Revenue Growth Fueled by Quantum Platform Deployments IonQ’s financial performance in the second quarter of 2026 signals an acceleration in the commercialization of quantum computing, with revenue reaching $80.1 million. This growth reflects deployments of IonQ’s quantum computers and a broadening customer base utilizing the company’s quantum cloud services, rather than simply increased investment in the field. The company attributes this success to momentum across its entire quantum platform, suggesting a shift from research projects to practical applications. The company is also seeing a diversification of revenue streams, with 60% now stemming from commercial clients and 25% from customers purchasing multiple products, solidifying the durability of its business model. This expansion is occurring through strategic acquisitions, not solely organic growth. Controlling the entire stack, from qubit fabrication to software development, could allow IonQ to optimize performance, reduce costs, and accelerate innovation. The company’s optimism is reflected in its revised financial guidance; IonQ now anticipates full-year revenue between $280 million and $290 million, maintaining confidence in achieving 100% year-on-year growth. This diversification is seen as a key factor in sustaining growth and mitigating risks associated with reliance

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later: Why the Quantum Cybersecurity Threat Has Already Begun

A cryptographically powerful quantum computer does not yet exist, but sensitive encrypted information may already be under threat. The “harvest now, decrypt later” strategy allows adversaries to collect protected data today and wait for future quantum systems to break the encryption, making post-quantum migration an immediate cybersecurity priority.
