Quantum Computing News: IonQ Boosts Energy Role, Fujitsu Targets 10,000-Qubit System by 2030
Welcome to this week's quantum news, as we continue in our quantum journey toward commercialization. This week's recap highlights practical upgrades to existing networks, fresh investments in R&D, and progress in real-world problem-solving. For investors tracking companies like IonQ (IONQ), Fujitsu (FJTSY), and Honeywell (HON) -backed Quantinuum, these moves show steady traction toward scaled deployment. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. PacketLight Networks and NEC Demo Quantum-Safe Networking We begin with PacketLight Networks and NEC Corporation, which demonstrated a working setup for quantum key distribution. Their test used NEC's quantum key distribution gear alongside PacketLight's PL-4000M Muxponder. The system maintained 100% data speeds while layering quantum encryption on a separate fiber. It did not need hardware upgrades, which could lower cost barriers for future rollouts. While still a lab test, the result confirms that QKD can work with today's commercial networks. This supports secure communications without major changes to data flow. The exhibition also highlights early demand for QKD-compatible hardware and low-latency encryption options. SEEQC Expands U.S. Operations to Support Chip Design Next up is a $60 million Nvidia (NVDA) - and IBM Quantum (IBM) -backed startup, SEEQC, which has leased a 13,635-square-foot site in Hawthorne, New York. The space will support chip manufacturing, testing, and system design. The firm builds superconducting chips that can work with multiple quantum systems. The move gives SEEQC closer access to talent and partners. It also signals its intent to scale chip production for commercial use. The site will house offices and labs that support new designs for modular and stackable quantum computing hardware. The biggest standalone quantum company, Quantinuum, will convert a site in Albuquerque into a new research and development hub. The company plans to focus on photonics control, a key part of its laser-based ion-trap quantum systems. The facility is expected to employ at least seven people by the end of the year, with future plans to install test beds. Quantinuum, formed from Honeywell Quantum and Cambridge Quantum, is one of the few firms that build both quantum hardware and software. Its expansion into New Mexico also supports public efforts to attract more quantum jobs to the Southwest. IonQ (IONQ) has partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to apply its quantum system to the Unit Commitment problem. This challenge involves scheduling power plants to meet demand at the lowest cost. The project used IonQ's 36-qubit Forte Enterprise quantum system, in combination with classical models. The work is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's GRID-Q program. It tested the ability to optimize energy use across 26 generators and 24 time slots. The results point to potential cost savings and new ways to manage energy supply. IonQ expects future systems with 100 to 200 qubits could outperform current grid planning tools. Fujitsu Plans 10,000-Qubit System by 2030 Fujitsu (FJTSY) announced plans to build a superconducting quantum computer with over 10,000 qubits by fiscal 2030. The target includes 250 logical qubits using its STAR architecture. The effort is part of Japan's national post- 5G development program, and includes support from RIKEN and AIST. Fujitsu will also pursue diamond spin-based qubits by 2035. It aims to build a system with 1,000 logical qubits that combine multiple qubit chips. The roadmap includes new work on chip interconnects, cryogenic controls, and error correction techniques. We used the TipRanks' Comparison Tool to line up some of the top quantum stocks with a few names mentioned in this piece. It's an easy way to see how they compare and get a feel for where the space might be going. Investor Takeaway This week's news shows a growing mix of hardware investment and applied use cases. Companies are starting to bridge lab-grade quantum systems with enterprise needs. Quantum-safe encryption, grid optimization, and chip design are moving forward without major changes to core infrastructure. Investors should watch for continued signs of progress in system integration, facility builds, and commercial partnerships. Cost efficiency, deployment scale, and ecosystem access remain key factors for future gains in this sector.

Quantum system beats classical AI in real test, powers greener supercomputing future
In a major leap toward the future of computing, researchers have shown that even small-scale quantum processors can outperform classical algorithms in machine learning tasks. The finding offers a glimpse into a faster, greener era within the relatively new research field of Quantum Machine Learning, a space gaining momentum across both academia and new study combines quantum computing and machine learning, two of the most disruptive technologies of our time. Recent advances in both fields are reshaping the technological frontier. While AI is already embedded in everything from personal assistants to scientific research, quantum computing promises a fundamentally new way of processing information. Their intersection has given rise to a rapidly growing field: quantum machine learning. This emerging discipline explores whether quantum systems can improve the speed, accuracy, or efficiency of machine learning algorithms. However, proving such an advantage on today's limited quantum hardware remains a major challenge—one that researchers are just beginning to by an international team led by the University of Vienna, the experiment used a photonic quantum processor to classify data points, an essential task in modern AI systems. The researchers found that the quantum system outperformed its classical counterpart, making fewer errors—a rare, real-world glimpse of quantum advantage with current hardware. This breakthrough was achieved using a quantum photonic circuit developed at Italy's Politecnico di Milano and a machine learning algorithm proposed by UK-based Quantinuum. The experiment marks one of the first demonstrations of quantum enhancement in practical AI tasks, rather than simulations. By isolating the quantum contribution in the classification process, the team was able to pinpoint specific scenarios where quantum systems results not only validate the potential of photonic quantum processors but also lay the groundwork for identifying machine learning tasks where quantum computing can make a real-world impact, even with today's limited-scale hardware.'We found that for specific tasks, our algorithm commits fewer errors than its classical counterpart,' said Philip Walther, project lead from the University of Vienna. "This implies that existing quantum computers can show good performances without necessarily going beyond the state-of-the-art technology," adds Zhenghao Yin, first author of the accuracy, the experiment also reveals another important advantage in energy quantum systems process information using light and therefore consume significantly less power than traditional hardware, which is becoming increasingly important as AI's energy demands continue to rise.'This could prove crucial in the future, given that machine learning algorithms are becoming infeasible due to high energy demands,' said co-author Iris showing that today's quantum devices can already offer tangible improvements, the findings could steer both quantum computing and classical machine learning into a more symbiotic future, where quantum-inspired algorithms push conventional boundaries and photonic platforms help make AI more sustainable. The study has been published in the journal Nature Photonics.
