August 13, 2026 — Quantum's Cloud Moment: Infrastructure or Just Real Estate?
Episode 39
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Quantinuum's Helios trapped-ion computer is moving into an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data center under a new multi-year deal — the show's main story asks whether that makes quantum real infrastructure or just well-placed real estate. Plus: a silicon spin-qubit error-correction advance out of TU Delft, South Korea's new national quantum strategy, a D-Wave grant from Canada's NRC, and IBM's Nighthawk processor heading to Yonsei University.
