    Washington Owns $300M of Quantum Rivals; IonQ Bets $1.8B on Its Own Fab — September 9, 2026

    Two ways to solve the same quantum manufacturing bottleneck: Washington takes equity in three rival hardware companies via a $300M CHIPS Act deal, while IonQ bets its $1.8B SkyWater acquisition on owning the fab outright. Plus GlobalFoundries' own quantum manufacturing award and a Gordon Bell Prize finalist.

    NEC Exits Its Quantum Hardware Program as Fujitsu Bets on Diamond Spin — September 8, 2026

    NEC has quietly stepped back from building its own superconducting quantum computer, citing an ROI timeline too long to justify the capital — while cross-town rival Fujitsu, with TU Delft and QuTech, unveiled a diamond-spin prototype and a 2030/2035 logical-qubit roadmap. Plus: Singapore and Luxembourg pledge deeper quantum cooperation, and a University of Surrey team proposes a superfluid-helium qubit design.

    September 7, 2026 — NEC Walks Away From Quantum Hardware

    NEC, the company behind the world's first superconducting qubit demonstration in 1999, has halted development of quantum computer hardware — while continuing annealing and quantum-inspired work on conventional machines. Plus: a new record for single-photon flux, and the G7's fresh warning on post-quantum cryptography.

    September 6, 2026 — Physics or Plumbing: What's Actually Blocking Quantum Computing?

    A Sunday think piece on IBM veteran and ERVA co-chair Brian Gaucher's claim that quantum computing's real bottleneck has shifted from physics to engineering — pilot lines, standards, and workforce — and whether the error-correction literature and workforce data actually back that up.

    September 4, 2026 — IBM's Speed Record: Real Fix or Self-Graded Exam?

    IBM claims a 25x circuit-throughput leap on its Nighthawk r2 chip without adding a single qubit — we ask whether that's real progress or a self-graded milestone. Plus: Quantinuum courts Aramco, Jülich switches on a trapped-ion machine, Quantum Motion raises more silicon-qubit cash, and the G7 tells industry to stop stalling on post-quantum encryption.
