Quantum computing is moving from theory to national priority. On Fox Business, BTQ Head of Silicon Product @pq_hackett discusses President Trump’s new quantum executive orders, the security threat posed by quantum computers, and why post-quantum infrastructure must be built before Q-Day. BTQ is building trusted quantum technology to help secure the digital systems, financial networks, and cryptocurrencies that depend on today’s encryption. $BTQ

burh.. - IonQ ($IONQ) announced a multi-year strategic collaboration with Korean quantum technology and software company SDT Inc., under which IonQ plans to supply SDT with a Superion 256 quantum computer and a silicon-vacancy (SiV) quantum memory module. - The partnership expands their relationship from cloud-based software integration into physical hardware production, assembly, system integration, and regional resale in Korea and Asia. - SDT plans to establish a dedicated quantum manufacturing and system-integration facility in Gumi, South Korea, where SiV quantum memory packaging and manufacturing, quantum system assembly, integration, and commissioning are expected to take place. - $IONQ described the agreement as another example of growing global demand for Superion 256 while emphasizing its broader strategy of combining quantum computing with quantum networking and quantum memory. - The announcement did not disclose the contract value or a specific delivery timeline. > The interesting part is that this is not simply a sale of a quantum computer into Korea. $IONQ is increasingly positioning computing, networking, and memory as an integrated system while establishing part of the manufacturing, packaging, and system-integration footprint in Korea. > If the planned SiV quantum memory packaging and manufacturing operation in Gumi is executed as described, it could suggest that Korea may become more than an end market for $IONQ and develop into part of its Asia-Pacific quantum hardware supply chain and system-integration infrastructure.

By collaborating with Infleqtion, we can explore how real-time error correction technology can be integrated with neutral atom quantum systems and help advance a crucial capability for the future of quantum computing.” 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗻, Managing Director of Infleqtion UK: “Quantum computing’s progress will be measured by its ability to create logical qubits that operate reliably enough to solve valuable problems,” said Colin Sullivan, Managing Director of Infleqtion UK. "Riverlane brings important expertise in the real-time decoding needed to make that possible. Together, we can test an essential part of the fault-tolerant computing stack on Infleqtion’s UK designed and built neutral atom platform and strengthen the UK’s expertise and global leadership in quantum technology.”

$GFS FINALIZES UP TO $375M U.S. QUANTUM R&D AWARD GlobalFoundries has signed a definitive agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce for up to $375M over five years to expand its Quantum Technology Solutions business and scale domestic quantum-chip manufacturing. The funding will support R&D across cryogenic CMOS, advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration, with the goal of helping quantum companies move from research and prototyping toward commercial-scale production. Separately, GlobalFoundries has a $300M letter of intent with the Commerce Department for silicon photonics R&D, another technology expected to be critical for future AI and advanced-computing infrastructure.
