Israeli quantum computing startups, highlighted by a new Earth & Beyond Ventures and Deloitte Catalyst map, have attracted about $650 million—over $300 million raised in 2025 alone—with Quantum Machines and Classiq as top recipients. McKinsey’s Quantum Technology Monitor 2025 projects the quantum technology market could reach $97 billion by 2035, with public funding accounting for $680 million out of nearly $2 billion invested in 2024. IonQ’s announcement of a $1.0 billion equity offering demonstrates confidence in the sector despite technical challenges. Meanwhile, the EU’s €35 million SUPREME project and KISTI’s new quantum partnership with IonQ highlight strong public and cross-national initiatives in Europe and South Korea. On the research and application front, advances included researchers extending transmon qubit coherence times to the millisecond scale—key progress toward fault-tolerant superconducting quantum processors—and a first successful application of quantum machine learning to optimizing semiconductor manufacturing yields. MicroAlgo Inc. developed a novel Grover-based quantum algorithm for finding pure Nash equilibria in graphical games, expanding quantum approaches to computational game theory. QCentroid launched a platform for benchmarking AI-generated optimization algorithms, facilitating transparent, repeatable testing across classical and quantum-inspired solutions for complex sectors like finance and logistics. A BIS report outlined practical frameworks for urgent migration to quantum-safe cryptographic standards in finance, warning that transition involves significant challenges and advocating for strategic, phased coordination.
