Some recent news that has nothing to do with Greenland:
- D-Wave Quantum completed its acquisition of Quantum Circuits just two weeks after announcing the deal. Things are going to get interesting at D-Wave, as it is now the only company with both quantum annealing and gate-model quantum computing roadmaps. Will the latter start to take precedence over the former, which has landed D-Wave many customers and increasing revenue? The company’s Qubits 2026 user conference kicks off next week, and is certain to feature talk of both its latest annealing system accomplishments and its gate-model system progress.
- SEEQC became the latest quantum company with a plan to go public via a merger with Allegro Merger Corp.
- Project Eleven, a post-quantum cryptography company, recently announced a $20 million funding round that included Coinbase Ventures. Coinbase has been talking a lot lately about quantum’s threat to Bitcoin.
- Former US Department of War CIO Katie Arrington is now CIO of IonQ, with IonQ Capella’s Laslie Kershaw becoming Chief Information Security Officer and reporting to Arrington.
- Xanadu recently hired a new CFO and a new chief legal officer, both veterans of much larger firms, as it gets closer to going public.
- Alice&Bob says “elevator codes” will help it reduce error rates on cat-qubit quantum computers.
