IQT Sunday Edition
With The Walter Cronkite Dragon
Traditional reporting brought to you by the most trusted dragon in the world, IQT Sunday Edition delivers a straightforward, authoritative summary of national and international mainstream media coverage of quantum technologies.
Barron’s
“Inside the ‘Black Box’: How China’s Quantum Funding Is Forcing a U.S. Response” was briefly titled “Quantum Cold War: Does the U.S. or China Have the Upper Hand?” Either way, the article is paywalled, but we know that it tags QuantumCTek, Tencent, IonQ, IBM, and Horizon Quantum.
Fortune
“Why BlackRock, Nvidia, and Temasek are betting billions on quantum computing” includes an interview with an AI analyst who concludes on the significance of the convergence of quantum and AI.
Bloomberg and The Washington Post
“CIA Aims to Speed Up Tech Adoption as AI Is ‘Rewriting’ Conflict” (paywalled) and “CIA to accelerate its use of AI, other advanced technologies” mention quantum computing as one of the other advanced technologies.
Bloomberg
“Quantum Computing Firm IQM Falls After Going Public Via SPAC” is paywalled, but self-explanatory.
The Wall Street Journal
“Why the Billionaire Pritzkers Got Obsessed With Quantum” credits Mosaic and YouTube for the Pritzkers’ push for the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP). Students and alumni, respectively, of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign created these and then left the state, and the Pritzkers don’t want that repeated with quantum.
Barron’s
“IQM Begins Trading: What to Know About the Newly Listed Quantum Stock” is paywalled, but here are a few things to know about IQM:
- Except for toy NMR quantum computers, IQM has quantitatively outsold the rest of the field by a considerable margin, including more than doubling IBM Quantum’s announced sales.
- IQM is expanding its Finland-based production facility with the goal of building over 30 full-stack, error-corrected, superconducting quantum computers per year.
- IQM’s business model includes upgrading the quantum computers they’ve sold.
- IQM has 3 product lines: HPC integration and NISQ algorithm execution, quantum error correction and mitigation research, and physics research and fundamental QC technologies development.
- IQM’s topology and gateset allow for shallower quantum circuits with fewer gates than its competitors.
- IQM has at least a dozen locations across 3 continents.
And that’s the way it is, Sunday, July 6, 2026.
