Insider Brief Quantum computing is emerging as a governance issue for institutional investors long before it becomes a mainstream investing tool. In an article published in Institutional Investor, Angelo Calvello writes that asset owners risk repeating the mistakes many made during the rise of artificial intelligence by focusing on whether quantum computing is overhyped while […]

Insider Brief SEETEL, Aegis Critical Energy Defence, and Quantum eMotion expanded their partnership to develop quantum-secured battery energy storage systems for defence, utilities, AI data centers, and microgrids. The collaboration integrates SEETEL’s energy storage hardware, Aegis’s energy management systems, and Quantum eMotion’s quantum random number generator cybersecurity technology. The companies validated integrated systems in Taiwan and are preparing deployments for North American government, industrial, and defence markets. PRESS RELEASE — SEETEL New Energy Co., Ltd., (7740.TW), Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp. (CSE: QESS) (OTCQB: QESSF) (FSE: JG6) and Quantum eMotion Corp. (NYSE: QNC; TSXV: QNC; FSE: 34Q0) today announced the expansion of their strategic partnership to integrate quantum-secured cybersecurity into battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) for mission-critical energy applications worldwide. Executives from the three companies met in Taiwan this week to demonstrate a “Quantum-Safe BESS” platform designed for defence, AI data centre, utility, and remote microgrid markets. The collaboration is intended to support growing demand for secure distributed energy infrastructure serving AI computing, defence, and utility resiliency requirements. &nbsp; The Integration of Hardware, Software and Cybersecurity By embedding quantum-level encryption into the physical architecture of the grid, we are closing the door on the ‘Harvest Now, Decrypt Later’ threat that currently leaves global energy infrastructure vulnerable to future cyber-warfare. As cybersecurity requirements for energy systems continue to evolve, traditional encryption technologies are increasingly vulnerable to emerging quantum computing threats. This collaboration combines advanced energy hardware, intelligent controls, and next-generation encryption technologies into a unified platform. SEETEL New Energy Co., Ltd. (“SEETEL”): Provides high-performance modular energy storage systems and

Photonic Inc. Reaches $2B Valuation with $200M Final Close Photonic Inc., the Vancouver-based developer of distributed quantum computing, has announced the final close of its $200 million USD ($275 million CAD) funding round, bringing the company’s post-money valuation to $2 billion USD ($2.7 billion CAD). The round was led by UK-based Planet First Partners and brings total capital raised by the company to over $350 million USD ($475 million CAD). The investment round represents a massive global coalition, uniting a diverse group of strategic, institutional, and government investors. New backers joining this final close include Bell Ventures, the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) via its StrongNorth Fund, Export Development Canada (EDC), Firgun Ventures, and InBC Investment Corp., alongside existing investor Mubadala Capital. This follows the round’s first close in January 2026, which featured Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), TELUS, and returning investors Microsoft and the British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI). Entanglement First™: Scaling via Global Telecom Infrastructure Photonic’s architecture is uniquely designed for distributed quantum computing using T-centre qubits—optically-linked silicon spin qubits. Unlike superconducting architectures that require qubits to be physically adjacent in a single cryostat, Photonic’s Entanglement First™ approach allows qubits to be entangled over standard fiber-optic networks. This capability enables: Endless Scalability: Modules can be connected across racks and data centers using existing telecom infrastructure. Native Connectivity: Qubits possess integrated compute, memory, and communication capabilities. Fault Tolerance: The architecture supports Quantum Low-Density Parity-Check (QLDPC) codes, which significantly reduce the qubit overhead required for error correction. Domestic Moat and Global Benchmarking The funding underscores Photonic’s role in Canada’s strategic technology ecosystem. The company
