The Department of Energy is rolling out a new funding competition that ties payouts directly to proven quantum computing performance rather than research promises alone. Called the Quantum Genesis Q Competition, it will offer up to $215 million to companies that can get fault-tolerant machines doing genuine scientific computation, with the largest sums going to those that clear a bar of 100 working logical qubits.
Bill Gates is calling for a more measured approach to AI while committing substantial funding to help ensure the technology reaches communities that have so far gained little from its rapid development.
Volker Turk, the United Nations human rights chief, has warned that AI could eventually threaten humanity, calling for stronger safeguards before the technology develops beyond effective control.

NVIDIA's new CUDA-Q Logical software links GPUs with quantum processors to tackle error correction, potentially benefiting IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave as hybrid computing advances.
The Commerce Department awarded $100 million CHIPS Act grants each to D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and Quantinuum, while IonQ was notably excluded from this funding round.
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), the only dual-platform quantum computing company providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software and services, today announced its participation as a platinum sponsor of Quantum World Congress 2026, taking place September 23-25 in College Park, Maryland.
D-Wave's commercial momentum is accelerating, but the gap between bookings, recurring revenue, and valuation could decide what comes next for the stock.
D-Wave Quantum shares have fallen about 40% in 2026 after weak Q2 revenue of $3.1 million, as investors seek clearer evidence of commercial and financial progress from the firm.
The insurance industry has to prepare for the encryption risks presented by quantum computers. Although the technology perpetually seems to be ‘five years away,’ it has the potential to undermine the public-key cryptography that fundamentally supports encryption systems for digital commerce, banking, and insurance.
