Welcome to The Bell State.
Your weekly roundup of the biggest breakthroughs in Quantum Computing
đź’° QUANTUM STOCK TRACKER đź’°
Quantum Companies Raise $1bln+
D-Wave Leads $1 B Wave of Public-Market Cash Grabs (source)
D-Wave closed a $400 M “at-the-market” equity program after raising $150 M earlier this year.
Rigetti ($350 M) and Quantum Computing Inc. ($200 M) followed suit, leaving Rigetti debt-free with a hefty cash war-chest.
Fresh funds bankroll product road-maps (e.g., D-Wave’s Advantage 3 in 2028) while investors bet on a projected $72 B market by 2035.
Takeaway: Profitless today, yes - but public investors just handed quantum pure-plays runway deep into the second half of the decade, de-risking long-term R&D sprints.
EU Attempts To Help Quantum Start-ups
EU Unveils “Quantum Strategy” & Planned Quantum Act to Keep Start-ups at Home (Source)
Private money is the missing piece: Europe commands >€11 B in public funding but just 5 % of global private quantum investment.
New Scale-Up Europe Fund and pooled Horizon-Europe resources aim to stop talent flight to the US/China.
Draft Quantum Act (due 2026) will bundle R&D, infrastructure, and dual-use defense initiatives under one legal roof.
Takeaway: Nothing turbo-charges an ecosystem like deep pockets plus clear rules. Brussels is signalling that the next quantum unicorn should IPO in Amsterdam—not Palo Alto.
Satellite Quantum Communications Enter New Experimental Phase
Steps forward in QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) technology continue (Source)
Joint Experiments: The partnership will test the transmission of entangled photons from SpeQtral's upcoming satellites to a new quantum ground station designed and operated by Thales Alenia Space.
Data-Driven Analysis: The collaboration will focus on synchronizing data and analyzing how local environmental conditions affect the quality and performance of space-to-Earth quantum links.
Future Interoperability: The project serves as a technical foundation for future interoperable quantum networks, with plans for Thales Alenia Space to launch its own quantum satellite later this decade.
Takeaway: This partnership marks a critical shift from academic research to practical engineering, focusing on making sure different quantum communication systems can work together to build a reliable and resilient global quantum internet.
