Guy Zyskind emphasized that the whitepaper reframes the conversation around quantum threats, stating that the traditional 10-year migration window now seems dangerously optimistic given Google's findings.

"To contrast the data with what we're measuring in the quantum computer is crucial," says Alexandre Dauphin, emphasizing the importance of aligning simulations with experimental results.

In the 1950s through the 1980s people thought of quantum effects as occurring in very small things and as a source of noise-you had to understand quantum theory to build transistors. People thought of quantum mechanics as a nuisance. He and Brassard discovered methods-like quantum coin-tossing and quantum entanglement-that turned the perceived handicaps of quantum reality into a powerful tool.

Pasqal is a full-stack quantum computing company taking on Big Tech. It generates annual revenue in the tens of millions from selling hardware, software and cloud services to labs and industry partners.

Archer reported Q4 2025 revenue of $300,000, a figure that is a milestone for the company: it represents the company's first-ever revenue recognition. The company posted an EPS loss of -$0.26 for the quarter, with a net loss of $188.9 million and operating expenses of $234.70 million, partly inflated by a $36.10 million jump in non-cash stock-based compensation.

For over 15 years, the EFRC program has provided a transformational research environment that has brought together the strengths of our National Laboratories and universities to accelerate discovery, develop innovative tools, and train the next generation of the American energy science workforce. The EFRCs will continue to play a vital role in bridging disciplines and institutions, advancing foundational science and strengthening America's leadership to push forward scientific frontiers critical for new energy technologies.

Performance: A Brutal Start to 2026 Rigetti is down 27.36% year-to-date and 37.44% over the past month. The stock peaked at $58.15 in mid-October but has since given back most of those gains. For context, the one-year return still sits at 31.35%, but momentum has clearly reversed. The company trades at a 660x price-to-sales ratio with $7.49 million in trailing twelve-month revenue and a $4.95 billion market cap.

As investors turned their back on software (notably, the seat-based software-as-a-service companies), they're turned towards hardware in a big-time way. You wouldn't know it by looking at those flat shares of Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA), but the iShares Semiconductor ETF ( NASDAQ:SOXX) is up around 13% year to date, with few signs of slowing down. The winners within semis have been broad, but the undisputed kings of the 2026 semiconductor surge belongs to the memory and storage stocks.

Bull has been officially launched as an independent brand for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. The historic technology brand, which has been part of Atos for many years, is making a comeback. The reintroduction of Bull, originally founded in 1931 to manufacture tabulating machines, comes after the signing of a share purchase agreement with the French state on July 31, 2025.

The effort comes as competition for AI talent intensifies worldwide and tech workers in the US grapple with layoffs, burnout, and visa complications. According to BCG's 2024 talent tracker report, the US remained dominant in attracting AI talent worldwide. Already known for its tech scene, Finland, with a population of around 5.6 million, is positioning itself as a place where American tech workers can find a better work-life balance without sacrificing their careers - a notable contrast to the famous grindset of Silicon Valley.

A team based at the University of Vienna put individual clusters of around 7,000 atoms of sodium metal some 8 nanometres wide into a superposition of different locations, each spaced 133 nanometres apart. Rather than shoot through the experimental set up like a billiard ball, each chunky cluster behaved like a wave, spreading out into a superposition of spatially distinct paths and then interfering to form a pattern researchers could detect.
