Quantum Computing Stocks Rally After Trump Signs New Industry Support MeasuresJune 23, 2026 7:31 AM
IH Market News Federal Orders Renew Momentum Across the Quantum Sector Quantum-computing stocks moved higher in after-hours trading on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders designed to accelerate the development and adoption of quantum technologies in the United States. The announcements reignited investor enthusiasm for a sector that has already enjoyed significant gains this year amid expectations of increasing government backing. Quantum Names Lead Extended-Hours Gains Among the strongest performers, Infleqtion (NYSE:INFQ) climbed 13.2% to $16.08 in post-market trading, putting the stock on course for its highest level since June 5. Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI) advanced 5.9% to $22.65, marking its strongest level since June 15, while D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) gained between 7.5% and 7.8% to approximately $26.30, also reaching its highest level since mid-June. IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) added around 3% to trade near $60.10. Meanwhile, IBM (NYSE:IBM) rose 3.6% after Trump publicly praised Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna for his leadership. New Orders Aim to Accelerate Quantum Deployment The gains followed the signing of two executive orders focused on strengthening America’s position in quantum technologies. The measures seek to support the deployment of a research-capable quantum computer in the United States by 2028 while accelerating the transition of federal systems toward post-quantum cryptography between 2030 and 2031. The orders also promote broader adoption of quantum sensing technologies and encourage greater collaboration between government agencies, universities and private-sector companies. Strategic Technology Becomes a National Priority The latest initiatives reflect Washington’s growing emphasis on quantum computing as a strategic technology alongside artificial intelligence, advanced semiconductors and next-generation defense systems. Policymakers increasingly view leadership in quantum technology as critical to maintaining the United States’ competitive position against China and other global rivals. Government Support Has Driven Previous Rallies Monday’s move follows several policy-driven surges in quantum-related stocks over recent months. In May, the sector rallied sharply after the Trump administration unveiled a quantum initiative worth approximately $2 billion, including grants and investment programs aimed at supporting domestic development. Companies such as D-Wave, Rigetti and Infleqtion were among those linked to the initiative, while investors interpreted the announcement as evidence of a deeper federal commitment to the sector. That earlier announcement triggered even larger gains, with D-Wave and Rigetti both rising more than 30%, while IonQ also posted strong double-digit advances. Commercialization Outlook Continues to Improve Quantum stocks received another boost earlier this month after analysts highlighted improving commercialization prospects and growing public-sector support. Those developments have helped turn quantum computing into one of the most closely watched and volatile technology themes on Wall Street this year. Why Quantum Computing Matters Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that could eventually outperform traditional computers in areas such as optimization, chemistry, materials science and complex simulations. The technology is also viewed as a potential challenge to existing encryption methods, prompting governments around the world to accelerate the adoption of quantum-resistant cybersecurity systems. Although widespread commercial deployment remains several years away for much of the industry, investors continue to treat government funding programs, national security initiatives and technological breakthroughs as major catalysts for the sector. The latest executive orders reinforce the view that support for quantum technologies is evolving into a long-term policy priority, potentially creating additional opportunities for companies focused on quantum computing, sensing and cybersecurity solutions.

SpaceX Extends Decline as Tech Stocks Retreat and Investors Reassess AI Spending: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJune 23, 2026 6:47 AM
IH Market News Technology Shares Weigh on U.S. Market Outlook Wall Street appeared headed for a weaker start on Tuesday as investors continued to rotate out of technology stocks amid concerns over persistent interest rate pressures and the enormous capital requirements associated with artificial intelligence infrastructure. Nasdaq futures led losses after another decline in SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX), while falling oil prices provided a separate focal point for investors as diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran reduced concerns over energy supply disruptions. Meanwhile, fresh acquisition activity in the AI sector and renewed government support for quantum computing highlighted the ongoing competition for next-generation technology leadership. Nasdaq Futures Under Pressure U.S. equity futures moved lower before the opening bell, with technology stocks once again leading the decline. By 04:33 ET, Nasdaq 100 futures had fallen 2.8%, while S&P 500 futures were down 1.45%. Dow Jones futures declined 0.7%. The weakness reflects growing investor concern that U.S. interest rates could remain elevated for longer than previously anticipated. At the same time, questions are emerging about whether current levels of AI-related investment can be sustained indefinitely. After leading market gains over the past year, technology and semiconductor shares have become increasingly vulnerable to profit-taking and valuation scrutiny. SpaceX Sell-Off Continues SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) remained under pressure after suffering a sharp decline in the previous session. The stock dropped 16.4% on Monday and fell a further 2.9% in premarket trading. The latest weakness followed a more cautious assessment from KeyBanc, which argued that the company’s valuation had become increasingly demanding after its rapid rally following its stock market debut. SpaceX closed Monday at $154.59, only modestly above its IPO opening price of $150 and significantly below recent highs above $225. The decline has erased approximately $400 billion in market value and intensified debate over whether the company’s long-term growth opportunities justify its current valuation. The company also announced a senior notes offering and disclosed cash and cash equivalents exceeding $100 billion as of June 19. Qualcomm Pursues Additional AI Expansion Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is reportedly close to acquiring AI chip startup Modular in a transaction that could value the company at approximately $4 billion, according to Bloomberg. The reported valuation is more than twice the level achieved in Modular’s funding round less than a year ago, reflecting the premium being placed on AI-related assets. Qualcomm continues to broaden its strategy beyond smartphones, targeting growth opportunities in artificial intelligence, data centres and autonomous vehicles. The company is also reportedly evaluating a separate acquisition involving AI startup Tenstorrent. The potential transaction highlights the increasingly competitive race among established technology firms to strengthen their AI capabilities. Oil Prices Extend Recent Decline Energy markets continued to move lower following significant losses in the previous session. Oil prices weakened further as investors grew more confident that progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations could ultimately increase global crude supplies. Market sentiment improved after Washington issued a 60-day licence permitting the sale and import of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products as part of ongoing diplomatic discussions. The development follows reports of progress toward a broader agreement and an extension of the current ceasefire framework. Lower oil prices could help ease inflationary pressures globally, although continued weakness may create challenges for energy producers. Quantum Computing Receives Policy Boost Quantum computing stocks advanced after President Donald Trump signed executive orders designed to accelerate development of the technology in the United States. The measures aim to support the deployment of a research-capable quantum computer by 2028 while also accelerating the implementation of quantum-resistant cybersecurity systems across federal agencies. Investors responded positively, driving gains in companies including Infleqtion (NYSE:INFQ), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) and IonQ (NASDAQ:IONQ). IBM also moved higher after receiving favourable comments from Trump regarding CEO Arvind Krishna. The latest policy initiatives underscore Washington’s growing focus on quantum computing as a strategic technology area. Investors Look Beyond the AI Boom While artificial intelligence remains a dominant investment theme, the latest market moves suggest investors are becoming more selective about valuations and future growth assumptions. At the same time, government support for emerging technologies such as quantum computing highlights the possibility that the next major innovation cycle may already be beginning to take shape.

Mohib Ur Rehman
April 8, 2026
Rigetti announced general availability of its 108-qubit Cepheus-1 system, its largest modular quantum computer to date.
The system uses a chiplet-based architecture and is accessible via Rigetti QCS and Amazon Braket for enterprise and research use.
Cepheus-1-108Q delivers improved gate fidelities and performance, with further enhancements planned as part of Rigetti’s roadmap.
PRESS RELEASE — Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) (“Rigetti” or the “Company”), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced the general availability of its 108-qubit quantum computing system, Cepheus™-1-108Q, now accessible to customers and partners via the Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services (QCS®) Platform and through Amazon Braket, the quantum computing service by AWS.
Cepheus-1-108Q is Rigetti’s highest qubit-count system to date and the industry’s largest modular quantum computing system, based on Rigetti’s proprietary chiplet-based architecture. The system comprises twelve interconnected 9-qubit chiplets, tripling the number of qubits and chiplets from Rigetti’s previous 36-qubit system, Cepheus-1-36Q.
The system is currently performing at a 99.1% median two-qubit gate fidelity with a gate speed of ~60 ns and a 99.9% median single-gate fidelity. Rigetti is releasing Cepheus-1-108Q now in response to growing customer interest, and will continue to improve the system performance throughout 2026 as the Company advances on its roadmap.
Responsive Image
“Cepheus-1-108Q is a milestone that validates our ambitious approach to scaling quantum computers,” said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO. “Our proprietary chiplet-based architecture is paving the way toward higher fidelity, higher qubit systems that will ultimately enable fault-tolerant quantum computing.”
“We are proud of the progress we have made in delivering a system at this scale. The innovations we’ve developed while designing this system give us confidence in our vision and approach to building the next generation of quantum computers. We will continue to improve fidelity as we scale to higher qubit counts and deploy new systems as we reach important performance milestones while maintaining gate speeds that are roughly 1,000-10,000 times faster than other modalities such as trapped-ion and neutral-atom systems.”
“The addition of Cepheus-1-108Q to Amazon Braket gives our global customers another choice as they research quantum computing applications in materials science, optimization, and quantum simulation. As the first gate-based device on Braket with over 100 qubits, Cepheus-1-108Q delivers improved fidelities that allow customers to push to wider and deeper circuits,” said Eric Kessler, General Manager, Amazon Braket. “Rigetti was a launch partner for Amazon Braket, and we’re excited to deepen that relationship with this launch. With Cepheus-1-108Q, we bring the third generation of Rigetti devices to our customers, following Aspen and Ankaa. We remain committed to providing researchers and enterprises around the world with access to the latest quantum hardware.”
KEY TECHNICAL ADVANCEMENTS
The new system features several significant engineering improvements designed to maintain fidelity and performance as qubit counts grow:
Enhanced qubit and coupler design: Optimized chip design enables fast two-qubit gates and higher fidelity.
CZ gates for error correction: Supports high-fidelity native gates and efficient circuit compilation necessary for quantum error correction and future fault-tolerant architectures. Rigetti achieved a two-qubit gate fidelity as high as 99.9% at 28 nanoseconds on a prototype system using a proprietary implementation of an adiabatic CZ gate scheme. These gates are already in use on Cepheus-1-108Q and will continue to improve as Rigetti incorporates those prototype learnings into larger systems.
Upgraded control electronics: A newly engineered control system delivers superior signal-to-noise ratio for qubit readout.
Advanced fabrication process: Rigetti’s Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing technique improves qubit frequency targeting and reduces defects, contributing to higher fidelities.
During system development, Rigetti refined its architecture to mitigate coupling interactions between tunable couplers that become more pronounced beyond 100 qubits. These design improvements shifted the primary performance limitation from coupler behavior to coherence time, a key factor the Company continues to address through innovations in materials and fabrication.
ROADMAP
Rigetti plans to continue to improve the fidelity of its individual chiplets and expects Cepheus-1-108Q to reach a median 99.5% two-qubit gate fidelity later this year. Rigetti intends to update its technology roadmap later this year, once it has incorporated the results of this work, including how the Company plans to reach quantum advantage in about three years.

These stocks are leading ‘meaningful breakthroughs’ in quantum computing, UBS says
Published Mon, Jan 19 2026•8:46 AM EST Pia Singh
With tech stocks benefiting from sky-high valuations, one quickly-growing corner could define the sector’s next chapter. That’s because quantum computing offers “extraordinary potential,” according to UBS, which highlighted several key stocks leading the industry. Quantum computing companies have gained the attention of Wall Street over the past year, particularly as Alphabet, IBM and Microsoft launched efforts to develop and build the first practical quantum computer .
Consequently, some smaller, highly volatile companies, including IonQ , have soared over the past 12 months. Quantum computing remains a fragmented and immature market, UBS analysts led by Madeleine Jenkins wrote in a 103-page report to clients on Monday. The bank sees the technology having the greatest impact in three areas: molecular simulation, optimization and AI, and cryptography.
‘Meaningful breakthroughs’ “With tech valuations at an all-time high, we believe now is the time to learn about any potential disruptive forces. Whilst progress has been slow and there have been many challenges, we are starting to see meaningful breakthroughs in the quantum space,” the 11 UBS analysts named on the report wrote. “By harnessing the behavior of the smallest particles, quantum computing promises to unlock unprecedented computational power at a fraction of today’s cost,” they continued. “The era of quantum advantage (where quantum significantly outperforms classical systems), could arrive as early as the 2030s.
This level of compute would require the equivalent of 10²¹ GPUs to simulate, yet cost only tens of millions to build.” UBS said there are multiple ways to make a qubit — the basic unit of quantum information — and that many industries could adopt the technology. Superconducting and trapped-ion qubits are the most advanced today, she said, narrowing leadership in quantum computing to just a few stocks. “Success will hinge on which architecture prevails; and as it stands, we see superconducting/trapped ion as the most promising. Alphabet/IBM are betting on superconducting qubits, while Microsoft/ Amazon -offer mixed modalities via the cloud,” Jensen wrote.
Public companies that are pure plays on quantum technology include IonQ, D-Wave Quantum and Rigetti Computing , the Jenkins team added. IONQ 1Y mountain IonQ stock performance over the past year. Google, owned by Alphabet, has been a “pioneer” in quantum computing and is currently the leader in software and quantum error correction, especially with the breakthroughs achieved by its quantum chip Willow released in Dec. 2024, UBS said.
Willow was able to reduce errors exponentially by using more qubits and perform a standard benchmark computation in under 5 minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years, the report said. Microsoft and Amazon are more diversified, with their mixed modalities approach to quantum development, Jenkins wrote.
Microsoft is both partnering with smaller, pureplay quantum hardware companies, such as IonQ, and researching a new type of topological architecture that could lead to a more stable and fast qubit, she said. UBS rates both Microsoft and Amazon a buy, and rates Alphabet neutral. “Who will win out will depend largely on the modality of qubit that succeeds first,” the analyst said.
The smaller companies involved in quantum computing have alternately seen outsized gains followed by sharp declines over the past year, making them far more volatile than the broad market. IonQ, the largest of the three, with a market value topping $17 billion, has soared 72% in the past 12 months through Wednesday, but slumped 34% since mid-October. Its adjusted beta is 2.37, according to FactSet data, meaning its more than twice as volatile as the average stock.

Mohib Ur Rehman, January 13, 2026
Insider Brief
Rigetti Computing has revised its roadmap, pushing the general availability of its 108-qubit Cepheus-1-108Q system to around the end of Q1 2026.
The delay is driven by additional testing and a new chip iteration to address tunable coupler complexities and improve two-qubit gate fidelity toward a 99.5% median target.
Rigetti reports current median two-qubit gate fidelities of 99% on the 108-qubit system, with higher fidelities already demonstrated on its smaller systems.
PRESS RELEASE — Rigetti Computing, Inc., a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced that it is revising its roadmap and adjusting the date for general availability of its 108-qubit quantum computing system, Cepheus -1-108Q. Cepheus-1-108Q is now expected to reach general availability around the end of the first quarter of 2026.
“While we are making strong progress with Cepheus-1-108Q, we are taking more time to test and optimize the system to ensure the performance is up to our standards,” says Rigetti CEO Dr. Subodh Kulkarni. “We have a clear understanding of what we need to do to achieve 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity, and are well on our way. Building higher qubit count systems can uncover new challenges. We encountered complexities with our tunable couplers and have decided to run another iteration of our chip to further optimize the system and improve fidelity.”
“We continue to improve our system performance, achieving a median two-qubit gate fidelity of 99% on our 108-qubit system, 99.7% on our 9-qubit system, and 99.6% on our 36-qubit system. This underscores our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest performing systems for our partners and customers.”
Cepheus-1-108Q is based on twelve 9-qubit chiplets and leverages Rigetti’s proprietary modular chip architecture. The system will be Rigetti’s highest qubit count system to date and the industry’s largest modular quantum computing system.
