PsiQuantum has signed a new $125 million expanded agreement with DARPA under the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative—a performance-based award, and our company's most valuable government award to date. QBI is the U.S. government's most rigorous effort to evaluate commercial pathways to utility-scale quantum computing. As one of only two companies...

$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

$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

$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.

How IIT Madras is Changing Global Security The End of Hacking? IIT Madras is spearheading India's push into quantum-secure communications through the IITM-C-DOT Samgnya Technologies Foundation, launched as the National Hub for Quantum Communication under the National Quantum Mission. This initiative aims to make communications "unhackable" by shifting from math-based encryption to physics-based security, countering future quantum computer threats. ​ The hub, inaugurated in December 2025 at IIT Madras Research Park, partners with C-DOT and is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). It focuses on developing indigenous quantum hardware, QKD networks, quantum repeaters, and satellite-based systems to protect critical infrastructure like AI data centers and defense networks. Traditional encryption relies on complex math that quantum computers will crack in years. QKD uses quantum physics: any eavesdropping alters the quantum state, alerting the system instantly and burning the key. IIT Madras claims an edge in secure transmission over computing leaders like the US and China. ​ The hub builds real-world testbeds, subsidizes hardware for startups, trains experts, and links globally via IITM Global outposts. It positions India to lead in quantum-secure networks for sovereign AI and government use within five years. ​ IIT Madras also runs CyStar, a cybersecurity center advancing quantum security, AI model protection, and IoT defenses since 2024. This aligns with national goals for unhackable comms amid rising cyber threats. Credit : AIM Network.

My 10x stock idea from GTC isn't photonics?! But it does involve lasers. Say hello to $INFQ. It's a newly IPO'd quantum stock generating tens of millions in revenue in space + defense applications with very unique technology. Infleqtion went public last month but it's trading 40% below its IPO price with a sub $2B market cap. $INFQ trades at roughly 70x trailing sales on $29M in revenue. Compare that to $RGTI at $6B market cap on just $7M in revenue, that's 860x sales. I chatted with $INFQ's Chief Administrative Officer, Julie McGee, to dig in further but here's the TLDR. Most quantum companies need to cool their chips to near absolute zero temps just to operate. Infleqtion uses "neutral atom" technology that traps individual atoms inside a glass cell using lasers and runs them at room temperature. It takes the power of a few hairdryers. No giant refrigerators. Way cheaper and way easier to scale. And unlike most quantum names they're actually shipping products NOW. Quantum clocks for GPS-denied navigation, RF sensors, inertial navigation systems. Selling to NASA, the DoD, and the UK government. Their quantum clock is being qualified by SpaceX for satellite systems. Quantum brings a whole new level of precision that works on the ground, in the sky, and underwater. Their technology can enable submarines to navigate without ever linking up to a satellite. GPS jamming is also becoming a huge problem on the battlefield, showing up in Ukraine and Iran. Quantum timing is inherently unjammable and unspoofable. They also had a dedicated spot inside the Nvidia booth at GTC. $INFQ partnered with Nvidia to demo the first commercial materials science application running on logical qubits and are working with Nvidia's NVQLink to scale quantum-classical hybrid computing. What's next: 30 logical qubits targeted this year, one of the most important milestones in the race to fault tolerant quantum computing by 2028. Plus a new NASA contract to measure Earth's gravity from space. Infleqtion combines an attractive valuation with extremely unique technology (they're the only neutral atom quantum company publicly listed). Could easily see this re-rating fast, I just think the IPO timing was poor with Iran. Could be adding this as a lottery ticket to my Asymmetrical Bets portfolio soon... This post was not sponsored or influenced in any way by $INFQ. All thoughts are my own, NFA / DYOR.
