BREAKING! The very first - and most important – question on $IONQ ’s earnings call today came from Quinn Bolton at Needham (audio below): “How much of your revenue came from your core Quantum Computing business vs. how much came from the other security / sensing / networking businesses?” A simple, direct question. Instead of answering it, the CFO spent 5 minutes rambling about “quantum security,” “momentum,” GPS spoofing, atomic clocks, and “opening doors.” Then he ended with: “So yes, to answer your question directly – we’ve got great momentum, we’ll have the most qubits next year and in five years from now.” He dodged the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION! Why? Because without the acquisitions (ID Quantique, Capella, Vector Atomic), IONQ’s core quantum computing revenue would be declining! And that matters because: IONQ’s entire valuation is based on the theoretical TAM of quantum computing. If that core segment isn’t actually growing – the stock’s narrative collapses.

Quantum computing is coming. Google’s recent breakthrough in quantum computing serves as a great reminder that, while we don’t know exactly when, quantum computing is on its way—and it’s closer than we might have thought. The implications for the current blockchain space could be far more severe than we can imagine. Why? Because when quantum computers become operational, security methods that currently take hundreds of years to hack could be broken in minutes. Like the turkey oblivious to the 1001st day, failing to anticipate the risks posed by quantum computing could leave us vulnerable to devastating consequences when the time comes. At StarkWare, we’ve anticipated this risk and developed STARK, a proving technology for blockchains that is quantum-resistant. This cutting-edge innovation currently powers Starknet (BTCFi arc). If you want to stay ahead of the curve and future-proof your systems, now is the best time to migrate your stack to a STARK-powered one. As the inventors of this technology, we believe our team is uniquely positioned to assist you with this migration. Moreover, we are more than open to collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation and other relevant parties to build Ethereum’s quantum resistance as soon as the community is ready.

Quantum computing has long been viewed as a transformative technology, but recent breakthroughs suggest its impact may arrive much sooner than expected. At the center of growing concern is the prospect of Q-Day—the moment when a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could crack the public-key encryption that underpins global banking, government communications, military networks, cryptocurrencies, and much of the modern internet. As advances in quantum hardware, error correction, and algorithms accelerate, governments and technology companies are racing to prepare for a post-quantum world. In this interview with Cris Sheridan on the IFA Life podcast, Woodley B. Preucil, CFA, Senior Managing Director at 13D Research & Strategy, discusses why the timeline for Q-Day may have compressed dramatically, the geopolitical competition driving investment in quantum technologies, and what the coming transition means for cybersecurity, national security, and investors.

$IonQ Quantum computing is officially out of the lab and driving real enterprise results! IonQ CEO Niccolo de Masi dropped massive updates on "Squawk on the Street" regarding recent acquisitions and new contracts. It’s clear: IonQ is at a "strategic and financial inflection point." Here are the key takeaways: 1/ Massive Financial Scaling IonQ is the first public quantum company to hit 9-figure revenue (tripling last year!), guiding toward a quarter-billion dollars this year " It's not a science experiment when we have... nine figures of revenue flowing in," says de Masi. The ultimate proof? 60% of their revenue is now commercial. 2/ Four Major 'World Quantum Day' Announcements IonQ just released industry-leading benchmarks focusing on the "cost to solution and time to solution". They also secured 3 massive contract wins: ✅ AFRL (Air Force Research Lab) IonQ constructs first networked quantum systems among remote quantum processing units. ✅ University of Maryland (UMD). ✅ DARPA for advanced quantum memory. 3/ Building the Future "Quantum Data Center " IonQ's tech stack goes far beyond base computing to include networking, security, and sensing. De Masi notes their tech is in all warfighting domains, "from submarines to up in the heavens in space". Why the heavy DARPA & AFRL investments? Because "they see the future for quantum data centers". The Bottom Line: Both government and commercial clients are realizing that working with the quantum ecosystem early gives them a massive competitive advantage.

$IONQ The U.S. National Science Foundation just launched Project Triad: "the first-ever system where quantum sensing, networking and computing work together in concert," built to turn quantum into real-world applications across safety, healthcare, energy and defense. Now look at the elements. Sensing, computing, networking, the exact three domains NSF wants to unite. IonQ Federal's Rick Muller laid out all three at World Quantum Day, months earlier: Sensing: PNT clocks roughly 1000× more accurate than GPS (Vector Atomic), plus space (Capella) and optical comms (Skyloom). Networking: a contract in DARPA's Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) program, plus QKD and entanglement distribution. Computing: nearing fault-tolerant operation in DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), verified by DARPA. So it's not one program. IonQ is stacking two DARPA programs (HARQ and QBI) on top of the Vector Atomic, Capella and Skyloom acquisitions. His words: "IonQ can provide an engine to drive federal quantum integration that no other companies can." Now put the two diagrams side by side. NSF's illustration of an "integrated quantum system" and IonQ's timing architecture are the same picture: networked satellites, ground stations, sensors and a quantum computer, tied together by quantum links. NSF hasn't named a company. But it's building a national program around the architecture IonQ already has, down to the diagram. Sound familiar? 🔗 #IonQ #Quantum #ProjectTriad

Breaking: Scott Aaronson - the world’s leading theorist in quantum computing - openly pushed back on the $IONQ bulls on X, even laughing at claims that now is the time to buy! He has not reversed his stance, and remains clear - we are not getting a fault-tolerant quantum computer in the next few years! In my view, $IONQ is still a generational short. Retail investors should be extremely cautious here in falling for the hype. The stock has already collapsed 60% from October highs.

$Why quantum theory could have a fractal structure: explained in 83 minutes. The notion of true quantum nonlocality is absurd. In the latest episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Prof Tim Palmer from the University of Oxford suggests that there is a hidden assumption in standard quantum mechanics, and dropping it will save us from this absurdity. Namely, the reality of counterfactuals: the physics of what could have happened but did not. Inspired by chaos theory and the fractal structure widespread in atmospheric physics, Palmer has developed a new underlying structure for quantum theory, with radical implications for our fundamental principles of quantum physics; the limits of quantum computation; and perhaps even the search for quantum gravity. Watch on my YouTube channel, or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!$

Jim Cramer is selling his Bitcoin over quantum fears Honestly, this is not a dumb take from Cramer. It was the fact that quantum computing has officially entered mainstream conversations. Jim Cramer also said he’s planning to sell all his $BTC because of quantum risks. Then IBM’s CEO warned everyone to be paranoid about what’s coming in the next 3–4 years. Whether you agree with them or not isn’t the point. The point is this: If people are questioning whether tomorrow’s computers can break today’s cryptography… Why are we still trusting today’s privacy tools to protect tomorrow’s data? That’s exactly why I’ve been following what QVPN is building. Unlike traditional VPNs that mainly hide your IP, QVPN is being built with quantum-safe protection on top of DIAM’s blockchain infrastructure. Most people won’t care until it’s too late. I’d rather prepare before everyone else starts asking the same questions. If quantum ends up changing cybersecurity the way AI changed software, the projects building for that future today will matter the most. Join QVPN Genesis and mine $SHHH 🔗 #Quantum

$IONQ CEO: “Two year leads are very consequential in technology.” He says $IONQ is ahead of competitors. Credit where credit is due: $IONQ out-invests every other quantum company in R&D in absolute figures ($125,7 million in Q1 2026) and in growth rate (up 215% YoY). But it’s also made several strategic acquisitions for electronic qubit control (Oxford Ionics) and photonic interconnects (Lightsynq). Both are crucial for scaling logical qubits in quantum chips. In addition, $IONQ also has a cost advantage as it’s expected to build useful quantum computers for less than $30 million. The estimate came from the consulting firm Kearney, not from $IONQ. Superconducting architecture requires 30-50x more to build a quantum computer. Why would it not work out for $IONQ from here?

$IonQ Tennessee just allocated $20M to accelerate quantum computing - 🧵 Governor Bill Lee’s FY27 budget includes funding specifically designed to attract federal and private investment in quantum, targeting advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and logistics sectors. Why this matters: State-level quantum funding signals a shift from pure research to economic deployment. Tennessee isn’t funding university labs - they’re building infrastructure to attract quantum companies and create high-wage jobs. Tennessee already has Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the world’s premier quantum research facilities. Adding $20M in state support creates a complete ecosystem: research capability, government backing, workforce development, and commercial deployment pathways. The timing is perfect: Quantum companies with deployable systems can now tap into state partnerships, regional contracts, and workforce programs. This creates real commercialization opportunities beyond federal research grants. For context, IonQ already works with Oak Ridge and has the commercial systems ready to deploy. But this funding isn’t just about one company - it’s about Tennessee positioning itself as THE quantum hub in the Southeast, competing with Colorado, Maryland, and California. What to watch: When states start competing for quantum companies with actual budget allocations, it validates that quantum computing is becoming an economic sector, not just a science project. Expect more states to follow Tennessee’s lead in 2026. The quantum industry is transitioning from “interesting research” to “strategic economic investment” at the state government level. That’s a meaningful milestone. 🎯 #QuantumComputing #Tennessee #Innovation #IONQ #EconomicPolicy #TechIndustry
