$IONQ didn't just buy a foundry. SkyWater's SP90 is building a quantum photonics stack: SiN routing, diamond memories, TFLN conversion, and cryogenic packaging. But 493nm propagation loss is still 1.56 dB/cm. What's real today—and what remains unproven? 🇺🇸netcreat.substack.com/p/ionq… 🇰🇷blog.naver.com/4-fire/224459…

The UK’s Quantum Leap and Its Space Quantum Roadmap 🇺🇸 netcreat.substack.com/p/the-… The UK did not announce another £2B quantum budget in October. Its new space roadmap expands the scope of Quantum Leap, while ProQure Phase 1 awards remain worth watching. I examine the funding, satellite QKD, and potential links to IonQ.
Replying to @Rick101284
@Rick101284 이 공유해준 소중한 내용을 분석해봤습니다. 지난 4월에 발표된 Quantum Leap 대비 어떤 변화가 있는지 비교했고, $IONQ 의 기술과 어떻게 연결이 되는지 살펴봤습니다. blog.naver.com/4-fire/224457… 이번 발표에서 특히 눈에 띄는 것이 Hybrid Optical Payloads 였는데, AFRL에서 후속 자금을 확보하면서 발표된 것과 일치하는 것으로 보입니다.

IonQ's $7.5M AFRL award isn't a new contract—it's Phase 2 of the existing $21.1M program. I break down the conditional ~$4.53M remaining balance and the push toward free-space entanglement links. 🇺🇸 netcreat.substack.com/p/ionq…

$IONQ 10월 19일 영국 의회 답변 이번에 찾은 자료 중 가장 중요한 것은 영국 의회의 공식 답변입니다. 2026년 10월 9일, Ben Spencer 의원은 정부에 다음 내용을 질문했습니다. ProQure Phase 1 신청 건수 선정 기업을 언제 발표할 것인지 신청 기업 중 영국에 본사를 둔 기업 수 이에 대해 2026년 10월 19일, Chris McDonald 장관이 공식 답변했습니다. Innovate UK are currently finalising the awards for phase 1 and full details on competition outcomes will be published in the coming weeks. Innovate UK는 현재 Phase 1 계약 수여 절차를 마무리하고 있으며, 공모 결과의 전체 내용은 향후 몇 주 안에 공개할 예정이라는 뜻입니다.

Thank you for good info mate.
$Ionq UK just released its quantum roadmap for space. The report recommends five clear and urgent actions (not in any order of priority): First, accelerate the adoption of quantum-safe security across ground and space segments and support in-orbit demonstrations of quantum key distribution, leveraging UK strengths in photonics-led payload development. Second, prioritise quantum timing as a sovereign capability by investing in technology maturation and flight demonstration, and preparing for integration into future PNT architectures. Third, advance quantum sensing technologies aligned to clear mission demand through targeted integration programmes and early-orbit demonstrations, prioritising compact and efficient designs. Fourth, strengthen the enabling foundations that allow quantum technologies to reach orbit, including supply chains, qualification infrastructure, standards and work-force capability. Fifth, maintain strategic engagement with quantum computing through algorithm development and requirement shaping while avoiding premature space-specific deployment. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

QKD 와 PQC가 무엇이 다른지, 어떤 조합으로 동작을 하는지 상세히 설명했습니다. blog.naver.com/4-fire/224456…
QKD가 어떻게 동작하는지 설명하는 글을 쓰고 있었는데, 우주 공간 원격 얽힘에 대한 연구 지원 발표가 나왔네요. 이번 글은 쉬운 버전입니다. 더 자세한 버전은 내일 쯤에 포스팅 됩니다. blog.naver.com/4-fire/224455…

We've received $7.5 million in follow-on funding from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), reflecting the strength of our partnership and the value of our full-stack approach. The Phase 2 contract with AFRL expands upon the first-generation quantum network we previously delivered in Rome, New York, adding advanced optical, hardware, and software layers for real-world deployment. “We are building quantum networking that runs on standard telecom infrastructure and through open air, and proving it on a live network,” said @jordan_shapiro, IonQ President, Quantum Platform.

$IONQ Awarded $7.5M Follow-On Funding from AFRL to Advance Full-Stack Quantum Networking Phase 2 expansion builds on a first-generation quantum network in Rome, New York, adding advanced optical, hardware, and software layers for real-world deployment. netcreat.substack.com/p/the-… Under the original $21.1M AFRL contract awarded to Qubitekk, approximately $9.1M had already been obligated. With today's additional $7.5M in funding, roughly $4.5M remains to be obligated, assuming the new funding is not already included in the reported obligations.

It’s a beautiful day to set sail with the next pieces of Neutron flight hardware to Launch Complex 3. Earlier today we sent Neutron’s Stage 2 and Thrust Module out of the Neutron Factory and onto a barge for transport through Chesapeake Bay to Wallops Island in Virginia. Once it arrives, the Thrust Module will go straight onto the launch mount at LC-3 for check outs and the beginning of wider systems demonstrations including integrated fluids tests and module-to-launch-mount interface checkouts. With no strongback on the launch mount by design, Neutron’s Thrust Module is the rocket’s only physical interface to the launch pad, which this upcoming test campaign enables us to test early before the entire vehicle comes together.

Intel Is Acquiring Classiq — A Quantum Software Shift That Matters More Than IonQ’s Investment Returns 🇺🇸 netcreat.substack.com/p/inte…
$IONQ $INTC #Classiq 오늘 나온 뉴스와 그동안 벌어졌던 일들을 종합하여 글을 작성하였습니다. 어려운 기술용어는 최대한 배제했습니다. blog.naver.com/4-fire/224454… 무엇이 되었든 양자 시장의 무대는 커지고 있습니다. 저의 한마디입니다. "흥미롭게도 IonQ는 SkyWater 인수를 통해 Intel과 유사한 IDM 모델을 구축하고 있다고 커뮤니티에서 말한 바 있다. 그런데 이번에는 Intel이 Classiq 인수를 통해 IonQ와 같은 풀스택 양자컴퓨팅 기업으로 나아가고 있으니, 두 회사가 서로의 강점을 닮아가는 모습이 참 아이러니하다."
