Is Rigetti Gaining a Strategic Edge With Pulse-Level Quantum Access?
What makes Rigetti even more interesting is how seamlessly this deep-level access fits into its broader Quantum Cloud Services platform. Developers can toggle between high-level coding in Quil and low-level pulse programming without switching environments, thanks to the company's integrated full-stack design. This approach not only supports experimentation but also helps speed up the journey from research to real applications, making Rigetti especially appealing to government labs, universities, and advanced R&D teams.
Arqit Quantum Inc. ARQQ has been making strategic moves in the quantum-safe encryption space. In June 2025, it joined the Oracle Defense Ecosystem, which grants it access to Oracle's global sales channels, Cloud Marketplace, and Secure Cloud Computing Architecture compliance tools, providing strong validation for its SKA Platform in defense and government applications. Earlier in May, Arqit acquired Ampliphae's encryption intelligence IP, enhancing its portfolio to include encryption vulnerability analytics —a clear step toward offering comprehensive, quantum-resilient cybersecurity solutions.
Quantum Computing Inc. QUBT has accelerated its commercial photonic ambitions recently. In June 2025, it closed a $200 million private placement, bringing its cash reserves to over $350 million to support the launch of its Tempe, AZ, photonic chip foundry. The foundry, which officially opened in May, is already shipping chip components and has followed this with the delivery of its first commercial photon source to South Korea, signaling real-world supplier traction.

Why new IPOs are crushing it out of the block
"This company is not aspirational — it's operational." Firefly Aerospace (FLY) CEO Jason Kim said this to me on Yahoo Finance as his company was going through its rite of passage at the Nasdaq on Thursday. It felt so electric in the room, I asked Firefly's employees to clap us in at the top of the interview (video above). The stock opened at $70 a share and closed the session at $60.35 — up 34% from its IPO price of $45. The company's market cap at the end of its first trading day stood at $8.48 billion. Just last week, Firefly said it had planned to sell 16.2 million shares at a range of $35 to $39. A new regulatory filing on Monday came with a much higher range of $41 to $43. The company ended up raising $868 million from the IPO after selling 19.3 million shares at $45. I think Kim's comment perfectly captures why recent IPOs have been embraced enthusiastically by investors. The early-stage companies coming to market are more mature. The businesses are more complete. The leaders are more well-rounded. (Kim told me off camera he is very ready for his first earnings call.) Firefly may still be early stage with no profits, but it's not just hot air with no substance. It's not a SPAC with a suspect leader — hearkening back to the flops from 2020. Kim is an Air Force veteran who spent considerable time working at Boeing's satellite business. His company is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program. Its lunar lander Blue Ghost successfully touched down on the surface of the moon in March. The company's new Eclipse reusable rocket is expected to launch sometime in 2026, joining the already proven Alpha rocket in the portfolio. In its prospectus, Firefly boasted $1.1 billion in backlog and lists partnerships with Elon Musk's SpaceX ( Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin, NASA, Northrop Grumman (NOC), and Space Force. Another recent IPO that is more operational than inspirational? Figma (FIG) shares were priced at $33 for its market debut on July 31 and ended the day at $115.50. The company makes software that allows people to collaborate on slide decks and digital whiteboards, among other bells and whistles. The company has more than 13 million monthly users. Its prospectus calls out that 1,000 clients are paying it north of $100,000 a year to use the product. Key customers include Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT). Sales are growing in double digits, and the company has an operating profit. Then there's Chime, which priced its IPO at $27 and ended its first trading day on June 12 at $37.11. The company reported better-than-expected earnings this past week, though the stock now trades around $30. CFO Matt Newcomb said the team has had conversations with investors, and they recognize the fintech's business model and progress. "I think as it relates to stock price, not uncommon for new companies to see some volatility out of the gate," he told me on Opening Bid. The same operational, not aspirational vibe could be felt at Circle (CRCL), which kicked off the strong market responses for IPOs earlier this year. CEO Jeremy Allaire is a widely respected blockchain industry veteran. It's good to see the healthy IPO activity, and sources tell me more could be on the way in September. Note that 59 US IPOs cumulatively raised $15.02 billion in the second quarter, up 33.8% sequentially, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data. "The shadow backlog and pace of new IPOs are building, coupled with investor demand, that sets the stage for a great second half," S&P said.
