Iceberg Quantum raised $2 million to integrate PsiQuantum’s photonic qubits into HPC workflows, while PSiQuantum is seeking $750 million to reach a $6 billion valuation for large-scale photonic systems. DeteQt at the University of Sydney Nano Institute received $750,000 to develop diamond-on-silicon magnetometers, and IonQ with Ansys declared a 12% speed boost in a simulation—though critics noted the test ran on a classical simulator. TreQ debuted the Compass SG25B featuring Rigetti’s Novera 9-qubit processor, Qblox controls, QuantrolOx automation, and a Bluefors refrigerator, offering open, scalable research capabilities worldwide. The University of Osaka launched the OQTOPUS open-source OS, and Quantinuum’s H2-1 trapped-ion device generated over 71,000 verifiably random bits, verified on supercomputers. Another Quantinuum group tackled knot theory with a new end-to-end quantum algorithm. Overall, strong investments, emerging software frameworks, and promising quantum research mark a week of steady progress toward practical systems in 2025.
