Quantum computing has exploded back into the spotlight this month again!
Not with hype this time, but with real, measurable breakthroughs. IBM, Google and Quantinuum have all dropped major updates within days of each other, pushing the field closer to something that looks less like science fiction and more like an emerging industry.
We’re suddenly talking about fault-tolerant hardware, verifiable quantum advantage, commercial access, new programming languages, and hybrid quantum-AI workflows — all arriving at once. The race is no longer just about qubit counts, but about fidelity, error correction, usable software stacks, and who can turn these machines into something businesses can deploy.
Below is a quick breakdown of the biggest updates shaping this new phase of quantum computing.
- IBM revealed two new quantum computers, called Loon and Nighthawk
- Google is claiming its new Quantum Echoes algorithm is 13,000x faster compared to classical supercomputing
- A week ago, the US- and UK-based company Quantinuum unveiled Helios. An extremely practical commercial breakthrough and so far the world’s most accurate quantum computer. Features 98 fully connected physical qubits with single-qubit gate fidelity of 99.9975% and two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.921% across all qubit pairs
- BMW Group, BlueQubit, JPMorganChase, SoftBank are some ealier adapters. Accesing the solution through Quantinuum’s cloud services and on-premises offering.
- Helios has developed Guppy, as a new Python-based quantum open source programming language. Highlighted and positioned as part of Quantinuum’s commercial offering!
- Quantum computing is expected to dramatically accelerate AI’s machine learning processes, enabling faster and more complex model training.
- McKinsey is forecasting the quantum sector to reach $97 billion by 2035, while AI is valued in the trillions.
- According to a Research by BCC, the quantum computing market is expected to grow from $1.6 billion in 2025 to $7.3 billion by 2030.
