IonQ reaches DARPA’s final quantum test, but the $300m headline hides a crucial distinction
IonQ has advanced to the final stage of DARPA's quantum computing assessment under an agreement potentially worth $300 million. However, its initial funding obligation remains undisclosed, and independent testing of its Superion technology through 2029 must establish whether the company's ambitious roadmap can translate into a viable utility-scale system.
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) wins $28m DARPA contract to deliver 125 Evergreen-05 atomic clocks
IonQ has secured a $28 million DARPA contract extension to manufacture and deliver 125 Evergreen-05 optical atomic clocks, turning its Vector Atomic acquisition into a test of whether quantum sensing can scale from advanced research into repeatable government deployment.
Majorana 2 and Microsoft Discovery push the MSFT quantum roadmap to 2029
Majorana 2 halves Microsoft's quantum timeline to 2029. So why is MSFT stuck 20% below its high while AI capex fears, not qubits, set the price?
Momentus (NASDAQ: MNTS) jumps 65% as space play turns story into revenue
Momentus killed its going-concern warning and grew revenue 9x. The harder question is whether a 65% squeeze is buying the turnaround or the top.
Quantum computing has a power problem. Quantum Motion thinks silicon can solve it
Quantum needs scale without data-centre chaos. Quantum Motion’s $160m raise tests whether silicon can make quantum commercially viable.
A160 Hummingbird unmanned rotorcraft: Inside Boeing’s failed bid to redefine vertical lift
Boeing built a UAV helicopter that flew 18.7 hours and hovered at 20,000 feet. The Army cancelled it anyway. The A160 Hummingbird story still shapes 2026 UAV strategy.
