The U.S. Energy Department launches Quantum Genesis Q, a competition to build an error-corrected, ‘scientifically relevant’ quantum computer.

D-Wave investors are grasping at straws.

Oak Ridge, IonQ, and NVIDIA used generative AI to cut quantum circuit compilation from 11 minutes to 28 seconds, a milestone with implications for IONQ and NVDA investors.

Anderon is already running its first quantum wafers at a 300-millimeter New York foundry

QBTS' uneven system sales, elevated expenses and reliance on fourth-quarter acceptance milestones keep profitability under pressure.

IonQ (IONQ) stock trades at about $37, roughly 55% below its high inside the last year. The market did not do that: over the past twelve months the S&P 500 returned 16.6% while IonQ lost 33.4%. Its own numbers went the other way, which makes the downside hard to size.

International Business Machines finalizes a Commerce Department award to build Anderon, the first stand-alone quantum chip foundry in the U.S.

The Commerce Department awarded $100 million CHIPS Act grants each to D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and Quantinuum, while IonQ was notably excluded from this funding round.

The issue is potential selling pressure, not fresh dilution.

D-Wave and Rigetti just landed major government backing as investors look for the next winners in quantum computing.

The case rests on a surging order book, because the revenue line itself is shrinking.

CORRECTIONS D-Wave Quantum headquarters is in Palo Alto, Calif. A Business News article on Wednesday about the U.S. government’s taking a minority equity stake in D-Wave and other companies incorrectly said D-Wave is based in British Columbia.

Washington is now a shareholder in these quantum computing companies.

BofA Securities says investor and corporate interest in quantum computing is surging as government funding, technological breakthroughs, and rising budgets push the technology closer to commercialization.

IonQ's CEO used investor day to warn that encryption breaks in 2028 and quantum computing is about to slipstream into every corporate research program. The stock fell anyway, and the gap between that pitch and the financial reality underneath it tells a complicated story.

BofA Securities says investor and corporate interest in quantum computing is surging as government funding, technological breakthroughs, and rising budgets push the technology closer to commercialization.

Washington just handed out $2 billion in quantum manufacturing incentives, and the money landed in some very unexpected places. Five stocks are quietly positioned to capture the fallout, and most investors have no idea they qualify.

Today, Sept. 8, 2026, the quantum computing provider boosted its full-year outlook to between $450 million and $460 million after SkyWater Technology acquisition.

IonQ’s acquisition of SkyWater Technology prompts a raise to its guidance and facilitates the production of new quantum chips.

Here’s what investors need to know about the Commerce Department’s investment in 3 major quantum stocks, plus supply chain player GlobalFoundries.

Commerce receives a minority, non-controlling stake in each as a condition of the funding

Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and Quantinuum are set to receive $100 million each from the U.S. Commerce Department.

The U.S. government is taking minority stakes in three quantum computing companies in exchange for CHIPS and Science Act funding.

D-Wave is investors' favorite quantum computing stock today, but GlobalFoundries is the government's favorite.

The federal government invest $100 million into the company.

Quantum Computing's Q2 revenues jump to $5.6 million, but rising expenses and continued losses keep profitability a key concern despite ample liquidity.

Each quantum computing company finalized a $100 million R&D agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce, which will receive a minority stake in each firm

The U.S. government is taking minority equity stakes in D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and Quantinuum with a combined $300 million CHIPS Act deal that funds the three companies to scale quantum-computing research.

D-Wave Quantum (NASDAQ:QBTS) shares rose 4. 5% on Tuesday after the quantum computing company announced a definitive agreement with the U.
