DARPA taps IBM and IonQ for Stage C of fault-tolerant quantum computing push
DARPA has selected IBM and IonQ to lead the next phase of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, aimed at developing a fault-tolerant quantum computer. The two companies advanced to Stage C of the program, which moves beyond conceptual plans to hardware tests conducted by DARPA's independent verification and validation team. DARPA launched the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative in 2024 to determine whether an industrially useful fault-tolerant quantum computer can be built by 2033, and IBM and IonQ both took part in the first two stages. IBM is developing its Quantum Starling fault-tolerant computer and expects to deliver the first fault-tolerant system in 2029, according to Jay Gambetta, Director of IBM Research, while IonQ is pursuing continued improvement and deployment of its Superion systems. The Stage C agreement has a potential value of $300M to continue validating IonQ's approach to delivering large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers, though funding beyond the initial obligation remains subject to future appropriations and DARPA funding actions.

Xanadu Signs Multi-Year GlobalFoundries Deal for Photonic Quantum Chip Production
Xanadu Quantum Technologies has entered a multi-year manufacturing agreement with GlobalFoundries to produce photonic quantum components. The partnership moves Xanadu designs for fault-tolerant photonic qubits onto GlobalFoundries high volume semiconductor fabrication lines, with GlobalFoundries manufacturing integrated photonic chips intended to support Xanadu quantum computing systems beyond lab scale prototypes. The arrangement shifts Xanadu's SNSPDs and its ultra low loss SiN platform onto a 300 mm line, tying its roadmap to industrial processes that can support a quantum data centre model. The key marker now is whether Xanadu converts the deal into working fault tolerant demonstrator systems on GlobalFoundries made chips, with updates on timing and performance relative to the 2029 to 2030 data centre goal central from here. Investors still face a business that is currently unprofitable, has seen significant insider selling over the past 3 months, and where earnings are forecast to decline 20.1% per year over the next 3 years.

Quantum Computing Inc. Debuts Integrated Quantum Security Platform at ECOC Exhibition
Quantum Computing Inc. is presenting an integrated quantum security platform at the ECOC Exhibition in 2026. The system combines quantum key distribution with hardware based quantum identity authentication for secure communications, built on the company's patented, award winning technology and shown in a live deployment style demonstration. The launch sits within Quantum Computing's broader effort to turn lab grade quantum technology into practical tools for secure data transmission, linking its photonics, patents and vertically integrated manufacturing to a complete security stack that network operators could test against incumbents such as Toshiba's QKD offerings or efforts from ID Quantique and similar peers. The company operates as a US based integrated photonics business supplying quantum machines to commercial and government clients, and the article cites a fair value of $18.33 for Quantum Computing. The bear case remains, as the business is spending heavily ahead of large-scale demand and turning the demo into repeatable, multi-site contracts is still unproven.
HPE Expands D&H Distribution and QuEra Quantum Partnership
D&H Distributing announced in September 2026 that it extended its U.S. distribution partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, adding the full HPE Networking portfolio including HPE Juniper Networking routers and switches. Separately, QuEra Computing revealed a collaboration with HPE to integrate neutral-atom, fault-tolerant quantum systems with HPE Cray supercomputers for on-premise hybrid quantum-classical workloads. Together, the two agreements deepen HPE's reach into the channel and high-performance computing ecosystems, potentially strengthening its positioning in networking, cloud, AI, and emerging quantum-enabled workflows for enterprise and research customers. The D&H extension is seen as the more relevant near-term catalyst, broadening access to the HPE Networking and HPE Juniper portfolios for U.S. channel partners, though competitive and pricing risks in networking remain. HPE's narrative projects $55.8 billion revenue and $4.8 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 12.9% yearly revenue growth and a $3.4 billion earnings increase from $1.4 billion today, with a $65.56 fair value implying 3% upside.

Infleqtion and Cisco Launch Joint R&D to Link Quantum Systems Into Networks
Infleqtion announced a joint research and development collaboration with Cisco Systems on September 10, 2026, to connect, operate, and scale quantum systems into distributed networks. The effort pairs Infleqtion's neutral-atom quantum processors and sensors with Cisco's quantum networking stack, aiming to move standalone quantum hardware into scalable, interconnected networks; Infleqtion Chief Technology Officer Pranav Gokhale compared the shift to how the internet emerged from linked classical computers. Infleqtion brings record Q2 2026 revenue of $12.6 million, trailing 12-month revenue of $42.44 million, an updated 2026 revenue outlook of roughly $43 million, a $100 million Department of Commerce grant and a roughly four-year funding runway, but it also posted a $24.7 million operating loss in Q2 2026 against $13.5 million in revenue, and the collaboration remains an early-stage joint R&D effort that generates no immediate commercial software or hardware sales. Cisco gains an early foothold in next-generation quantum networks that expands its long-term addressable market, though it must weigh that against a more leveraged balance sheet, margin pressure from a higher hardware mix and rising memory costs. Infleqtion's path to material revenue depends on unproven milestones including 30 logical qubits in 2026 and field tests in 2027, alongside its 2027 fault-tolerant Illinois system.

HPE to Integrate QuEra Quantum Systems With Cray Supercomputers
Hewlett Packard Enterprise said it will integrate QuEra Computing's fault-tolerant quantum systems with its Cray supercomputers for on premises high performance computing environments. The collaboration targets national labs, enterprises and high performance computing centers that want quantum and classical workloads running on a single infrastructure. QuEra's quantum technology is being positioned for scientific and energy research tasks that run alongside traditional Cray supercomputing jobs inside existing data centers. The move fits HPE's wider push to serve complex on premises workloads for governments and large enterprises, reinforcing its role as a full stack provider rather than just a server vendor. The real test will come from the first disclosed integrated testbeds or customer deployments where QuEra systems sit alongside HPE Cray supercomputers, especially at national labs or major HPC centers, along with any concrete timelines or contract details.
