Qryptonic LLC launched Q-Strike™ 5.1, identifying over 300 vulnerabilities and offering a $1M guarantee. D-Wave teamed with Japan Tobacco Inc. (pharmaceutical division) to deliver a 2025 quantum proof-of-concept for drug discovery that outperforms classical LLM training (or so they say), and DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative welcomed Photonic Inc., Quantinuum, Alice & Bob, IBM, IonQ, and Xanadu among others to pursue utility-scale systems by 2033. André M. König warns that US tariffs may form tech blocs and disrupt supply chains, reflecting geopolitical tensions in quantum technology. D-Wave’s claim of quantum supremacy sparks debate, with Edd Gent from IEEE Spectrum highlighting skepticism by researchers at EPFL and the Flatiron Institute. Amara critiques near-term algorithms like VQE and QAOA as flawed, citing Zapata Computing’s 2024 closure to question the real impact of such approaches.
