💰 QUANTUM STOCK TRACKER 💰

Congress Moving Forward with Quantum

“Quantum Sandbox” Act introduced in U.S. Congress to fast‑track near‑term applications (source)

  • Bipartisan Senate Bill S.1344 (and a matching House bill) proposes a public‑private sandbox for quantum‑hybrid pilots

  • Would offer cloud access, testbeds and commercialization grants to accelerate practical workloads

  • Part of a broader push to renew and expand the 2018 National Quantum Initiative

Takeaway: The legislative focus is shifting from pure research to deployment; if enacted, the sandbox could channel federal resources toward real‑world quantum use‑cases in finance, pharma and logistics within the next two years.

€250 Fund Raised with Quantum Focus

Bosch Ventures launches a €250 M (~$282 M) deep‑tech fund with quantum front‑and‑center (Source)

  • Fund VI will back early‑stage startups in AI, energy, automation and quantum computing

  • Bosch plans a heavier allocation to North‑American quantum hardware and software plays

  • Move brings Bosch’s venture commitments to over €1 B since 2007, bucking the corporate pull‑back trend

Takeaway: Fresh dry powder for quantum startups helps close the Series A/B funding gap and underscores growing industrial appetite for commercially oriented quantum solutions.

Japanese Firms Show Progress

Fujitsu & RIKEN unveil a 256‑qubit superconducting system, chart path to 1,000 qubits. (Source)

  • 256‑qubit processor quadruples the partners’ 2023 64‑qubit prototype

  • Cloud access for academic and industrial users opens June 2025

  • Roadmap targets a 1,000‑qubit, error‑corrected machine by fiscal 2026, staking Japan’s claim in the global hardware race

Takeaway: Crossing the 256‑qubit threshold puts Fujitsu‑RIKEN in direct competition with Western leaders and signals Asia’s determination to scale universal superconducting hardware rapidly.
