July 27, 2026 — Multiverse's $570M Round: Quantum Cred or AI Hype?

Multiverse Computing just closed one of the biggest funding rounds ever for a company with 'quantum' in its story — $570 million at a $1.7 billion pre-money valuation — but is it a quantum win or an AI compression story wearing quantum's jacket? Plus: long-lived ytterbium ion states, a cat-state speedup from IonQ, a 2030 post-quantum crypto deadline for contractors, and a theoretical result on the quantum Zeno effect freezing computations as qubit counts grow.

July 26, 2026 — Who Owns a Quantum Algorithm?

This Sunday's think piece asks a question the IBM-HRL headlines skipped: can you actually patent a quantum algorithm? We trace the acquisition's eleven-hundred-patent haul back to the unsettled Alice-era doctrine that governs whether any quantum invention is patentable at all, and walk the sides — reformers, patent attorneys, software-patent skeptics, corporate consolidators, and China-watchers.

July 24, 2026 — IBM's Second Qubit Bet: Buying HRL Labs

IBM makes its biggest quantum strategy shift in years, acquiring Boeing and GM's HRL Laboratories to run silicon spin qubits alongside its superconducting bet — plus a $15M Bitcoin quantum-security consortium, a UK government reshuffle that leaves quantum policy homeless, and the field's latest hype-versus-backlash debate.

July 22, 2026 — Hewlett Foundation's $100 Million Bet on Quantum Security

The Hewlett Foundation commits $100 million over five years to security research across AI, biotech, and quantum computing, landing the same week the UK dissolves its science ministry and Galaxy Digital moves to quantum-proof Bitcoin. Plus: Singapore's military partners with IBM, Rice joins the DOE's Quantum Science Center, Quantinuum and SoftBank map a hardware roadmap, and a room-temperature quantum memory startup raises seed cash.
