DOE’s Brookhaven Lab to lead $7M quantum physics outpost projectquantum-computing

DOE’s Brookhaven Lab to lead $7M quantum physics outpost project

Brookhaven National Laboratory will lead a $7.3 million project, “Quantum Information Signatures at Colliders,” to explore how quantum information, including particle entanglement, behaves during high-energy collisions. Researchers will investigate collisions at facilities like the Large Hadron Collider and the future Electron-Ion Collider, developing new techniques to potentially identify physics beyond the Standard Model. By learning how quantum information flows through these collisions, the team aims to uncover phenomena undetectable through traditional methods. The Department of Energy stated that these projects will apply the unique tools, techniques, and concepts of quantum information science to the science mission of the Office of High Energy Physics. Quantum Information Signatures at Colliders Project Brookhaven National Laboratory is spearheading an investigation into the behavior of quantum information during particle collisions, a core component of a newly funded $7.3 million initiative. Researchers anticipate that understanding these quantum signatures will reveal phenomena undetectable by conventional methods. This effort focuses on potentially identifying physics beyond the Standard Model, the prevailing theory describing fundamental particles and forces, rather than simply observing how collisions occur. The funding for this project falls under the “Quantum Outposts on the Energy and Intensity Frontiers” program, reflecting a broader Department of Energy commitment to integrating quantum technology into fundamental physics research. Total funding across eight projects reaches $7.3 million, allocated over up to three years, with $3.2 million available in Fiscal Year 2026, contingent on congressional appropriations. This investment underscores the agency’s participation in the National Quantum Initiative and the President’s Executive Order on quantum innovation.

Infleqtion Reports Q2 2026 Results: Record Revenue Up 116% YoY, Raised Guidance to $43M, and $100M CHIPS Act LOI Infleqtion, Inc. (NYSE: INFQ) has announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Louisville-based neutral-atom quantum computing and quantum sensing leader delivered record quarterly performance driven by 100% organic growth across its dual computing and sensing verticals. The table below summarizes key GAAP financial metrics for Q2 2026 compared with the prior quarter (Q1 2026) and the year-ago quarter (Q2 2025). Amounts in $M (except per share)Q2’2026Q1’2026Q2’2025% vs Q1’2026% vs Q2’2025Revenue$12.63$9.46$5.84+33.5%+116.3%Operating Expenses$32.49$31.72$11.56+2.4%+181.1%Operating Loss($30.64)($33.58)($10.07)-8.8%+204.3%Net Loss($25.47)($30.26)($8.85)-15.8%+187.8%Cash and Short-Term Investments$476.96*$488.10*$46.01*-2.3%+936.6% *Note: Cash and Short-Term Investments aggregates Cash and Cash Equivalents ($59.29M) and Current Available-for-Sale Securities ($417.67M), totaling $476.96M as of June 30, 2026. Adding non-current securities ($104.78M) and restricted cash brings total liquid capital reserves to $582.0 million (zero debt). Q2 balance includes a temporary $27.4 million working-capital benefit from collected stock option payroll taxes remitted in Q3. Historical baselines reflect QCR’s published figures. Financial Highlights & Raised FY 2026 Guidance Infleqtion generated record quarterly revenue of $12.63 million, representing a 116.3% increase year-over-year ($5.84M in Q2 2025) and a 33.5% sequential gain over Q1 2026 ($9.46M). Top-line expansion was entirely organic and derived 100% from quantum hardware, software, and sensing deployments. Operating expenses for the quarter totaled $32.49 million ($12.68M R&D, $19.82M SG&A, offset by $0.47M grant income). GAAP Net Loss was ($25.47) million, or ($0.12) per share, compared to ($8.85) million in Q2 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, Non-GAAP Loss from Operations s

Israel's quantum moment: Government action must be matched by global investment - calcalistech.cominvestment

Israel's quantum moment: Government action must be matched by global investment - calcalistech.com

The Israeli government's decision to launch national tenders aimed at strengthening the country's quantum and AI capabilities is exactly the kind of strategic move Israel needs. It reflects a growing recognition that quantum computing is no longer just a long-term scientific pursuit. It is emerging as a strategic technology that will shape economic competitiveness, national security and the future of computing. At Deep33 we believe that by the end of next year quantum advantage will emerge, meaning commercially valuable use cases will be introduced in production. We, and other VCs, are already helping founders build private quantum companies in Israel: it is one of the very few countries in which one can find funded startups in all leading quantum computing modalities (Ions, Superconducting, Photons, Neutral Atoms and NV centers), in quantum software and error correction and in quantum sensing and communication. But a comprehensive and well-coordinated approach is still very much needed: Israel needs to work hard on international export control limitations on quantum technologies, to convince global leading companies to open quantum facilities in Israel and make sure the talent pool is big enough to grow the quantum industry. Timing is of essence because the global conversation has already shifted. The question is no longer whether quantum computing will become commercially relevant, but where will the companies, infrastructure and investment behind it be built. Quantum is considered a strategic asset, both because of its future capability to decrypt all leading commercial codes, but even more so because of its huge value to the market which is estimated at around $2 Trillion dollars by 2035. Governments around the world have already poured over $65B into quantum technologies and more will come in the near future. Around the world, governments are no longer funding research alone.

Innovate UK reports a 30% funding chance for quantum computing projectsquantum-computing

Innovate UK reports a 30% funding chance for quantum computing projects

Innovate UK will invest up to £13 million in quantum computing software applications, but disbursement depends on receiving a sufficient number of high-quality applications. The funding competition seeks to develop commercially viable quantum solutions focused on real-world problems, with projects requested to fall between £300,000 and £4 million and span 24 to 36 months. Applicants face a competitive landscape; Innovate UK estimates a 30 percent chance of success, acknowledging that even strong proposals may not secure funding. The agency also notes it considers prior conduct, such as any outstanding payments owed to Innovate UK or UKRI, when determining funding decisions. £13 Million for Near-Term Quantum Software Applications Innovate UK is offering up to £13 million to bolster the development of practical quantum computing software, but prospective applicants face significant hurdles to securing funding, with the agency suggesting a 30 percent chance of success for submissions based on experience from similar competitions. This competitive landscape acknowledges that even well-crafted proposals may not receive support, given the limited financial resources available and the high volume of anticipated applications. The funding initiative, formally titled “Quantum computing applications for large scale impact: CR&D,” aims to translate theoretical advances in quantum computing into tangible benefits for industry and society. Projects vying for a portion of the £13 million must request between £300,000 and £4 million, and adhere to a strict 24 to 36-month timeframe, indicating a focused approach to funding rather than broad, exploratory research. Innovate UK explicitly seeks applications centered on real-world problems where quantum computing demonstrably outperforms classical methods, particularly within sectors likely to be disrupted. The agency emphasizes the need for validated applications and clear pathways to commercialization and adoption within the Unite
