💰 QUANTUM STOCK TRACKER 💰
Nobel Peace Prize Involves Quantum Computing

John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in superconducting circuits.
Their experiments in the 1980s showed that quantum phenomena could manifest in larger electrical circuits (Josephson junctions) rather than just atomic systems.
This foundational work underpins much of today’s superconducting-qubit quantum computing efforts (e.g. transmons).
Takeaway: The Nobel highlights how decades-old fundamental physics discoveries are still shaping and validating the architectures powering today’s quantum race.
Google Acquires Atlantic Quantum

Google’s Quantum AI announced the acquisition of Atlantic Quantum, an MIT-founded startup specializing in highly integrated hardware stacks.
The modular chip stack combines qubits and superconducting control electronics in the cold stage, aiming for more compact, efficient packaging.
The move is intended to speed progress on Google’s roadmap toward large-scale error-corrected quantum computers.
Takeaway: Vertical integration of control electronics and qubit hardware is emerging as a competitive differentiator in the scaling race.
Caltech has Breakthrough
Caltech builds a 6,100-qubit neutral atom array operating at room temperature (source)
The new system breaks previous records for qubit count while maintaining coherence time of ~12.6 seconds.
Uses 12,000 “laser tweezers” to trap and move atoms without losing coherence.
Demonstrates improved scalability of neutral-atom architectures, edging toward fault tolerance.
Takeaway: Pushing qubit counts and coherence at more forgiving operating conditions marks a meaningful step toward large-scale, practical quantum hardware.
