This week the US takes the center of the stage. The State of Maryland launches a $1 billion initiative with the support of IonQ. Biden proposes a Cybersecurity order with very strict timelines to be PQC prepared and Trump taps into IBM’s Dario Gil. IonQ also clases a meaty contract with the AFRL for quantum networking. Quantum Brilliance has secured a $20M Series A round. Microsoft launched their “Quantum Ready Program” to get more companies into the field. A great piece on the Zapata AI's abrupt closure, that despite securing key partnerships and reporting $2 million in Q2 revenue, underscores the volatility in transitioning tech companies. All while speculation around Honeywell's potential Quantinuum IPO, valued at $10 billion. And a beautiful one. Would you like an open source quantum device? You may have one (in a few years). Open Quantum Design has been announced with four partners: Xanadu, University of Waterloo, Unitary Foundation, and Haiqu.
