Diraq has installed an 8‑qubit silicon‑spin quantum computer in a commercial data center in Sydney, Australia. It aims to expand to as many as 256 qubits within a year.
PsiQuantum has received a conditional loan commitment of up to $150 million from the U.S. Department of Defense (referred to in the announcement as the Department of War). The funds are intended to expand U.S.-based prototyping, manufacturing, and system-integration capabilities.
Diraq says quantum computers should be evaluated not by qubit count but by logical-operation throughput and cost per operation.
IonQ has advanced to Stage C of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative. Multiple generations of Superion will undergo independent evaluation through 2029.
Diraq has been selected for Stage C of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative. An independent team will evaluate the performance, manufacturability, and cost of its silicon spin qubit approach.
A neutral-atom approach to utility-scale quantum computing will undergo independent verification by DARPA.
Diraq will establish an R&D lab at a shared facility in Albuquerque to strengthen testing and characterization of silicon quantum devices.
Diraq has designed an 8‑qubit system being deployed in a commercial data center to run under 20 kW. For a future million‑qubit‑scale system, it assumes about 300 kW including classical compute components.
QuEra and HPE will collaborate to integrate QuEra’s neutral‑atom fault‑tolerant quantum system with HPE Cray supercomputing infrastructure, envisioning combined cloud and on‑premises deployment options.
Independent evaluation of 36 quantum industry companies across technology, business results, QEC, manufacturing capability, customers and revenue. The Autumn 2026 edition adds nine firms — including Quantum Machines, Bluefors, Qblox and Riverlane — and analyzes ranking shifts since the summer edition and changing competitive axes in the quantum industry.
Diraq and Dell Technologies are colocating quantum processors with HPC systems to test low-latency connections and hybrid computation control techniques.
Using NVIDIA CUDA‑Q Logical, they show a qLDPC approach can potentially maintain its low overhead on Diraq’s spin‑qubit platform.
