Investment in quantum technologies remains robust in 2025. QT Sense raised €6M to refine its single-cell sensing platform under CEO Dr. Deepak Veeregowda and Prof. Dr. Romana Schirhagl, with QDNL and Interreg Europe backing. IonQ has acquired ID Quantique for $250M, propelling quantum-safe encryption, while Quantum Machines secured $170M in Series C to expand real-time orchestration solutions. QuEra teamed with Deloitte Tohmatsu to advance a 256-qubit neutral-atom system in Japan, shaping new commercial use cases. On the technical front, Google integrated NIST-standardized quantum-safe digital signatures into Cloud KMS. QuantWare’s Contralto-A 17-qubit QPU supports distance-3 surface codes, edging closer to error correction, while PsiQuantum unveiled chip-to-chip fidelity of 99.72% and an Omega chipset for manufacturability. Gil Kalai’s doubt over noise-resistant quantum hardware sparked debate with Preskill and Aaronson, underscoring scrutiny of Microsoft’s topological qubits claims. And talking about Microsoft, AWS did not want to stay behind and announced their “Ocelot” chip that adds cat qubits to the mix. Now the three main hyperscalers (plus IBM) has their own chips!
