Five companies now anchor the public market in quantum computing: IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), Quantinuum (Nasdaq: QNT), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), and Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ). Each is built on a different qubit technology, and each takes a different approach to its business beyond that core technology, which means the older habit of … Read more
At this year’s Global Quantum Forum in Chicago, I had the opportunity to share why I believe quantum represents the next great technological revolution and why we’re entering what I call the Precision Era. There was no better place to have that conversation than Chicago. Although I haven’t lived here in more than 20 years, … Read more
For 250 years, America’s greatest strength has been its ability to turn scientific discovery into world-changing innovation. From the industrial revolution to the space race, from semiconductors to the Internet, the United States has repeatedly transformed foundational science into technologies that change the world. The nation’s greatest innovations have strengthened economic competitiveness, bolstered national security, … Read more
The story of quantum is shifting from one of scientific discovery to an industrial one. The first era was about proving the science: demonstrating that the strange and often counterintuitive properties of quantum mechanics could be harnessed reliably enough to become useful technologies. The second era, the one we are in now, is about deploying … Read more
A quantum optical atomic clock keeps time by counting an atomic transition in the optical range, giving it substantially greater stability than compact chip-scale atomic clocks (CSACs) and cesium-beam references. For position, navigation, and timing (PNT) in GPS-denied environments, that stability is the difference between holding position for minutes and holding it for days. Tiqker … Read more
Combining neutral-atom physics, leakage-aware simulation, and the NVIDIA Ising family of open models for decoding to move faster toward practical fault-tolerant quantum computing Quantum error correction (QEC) is often described as a quantum problem. In practice, it is also a classical computing problem. Every round of QEC generates information that must be processed quickly enough … Read more
How Infleqtion is integrating GPUs across the lifecycle of logical-qubit experiments for biomarker discovery—design, validation, and real-time control. In February, Infleqtion was proud to announce our selection for a $2M Phase III contract from Wellcome Leap’s Q4Bio program, alongside our academic partners at UChicago and MIT. Through Q4Bio, we are delivering a hybrid quantum-classical biomarker … Read more
Neutral-atom quantum computing builds qubits — the basic unit of quantum information, able to represent more than a classical bit’s 0 or 1 — from individual atoms held in place by lasers and entangled through their natural interactions. It is one of the leading approaches to scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers, and Infleqtion is one of … Read more
Infleqtion is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker INFQ, and it is the first neutral-atom quantum technology company to enter the public markets. It began trading on February 17, 2026, following a business combination with Churchill Capital Corp X that delivered over $550 million in gross proceeds. The … Read more
Right on Time: Bringing Picosecond Precision to Live Networks I’m excited to finally get to share that Infleqtion, together with Quantum Corridor, completed a successful live demonstration of a high-performance quantum timing solution for critical networked infrastructure. We ran the test across 22 kilometers of live urban fiber, between Chicago’s ORD10 Data Center and the Digital Crossroad Data Center … Read more
