Quantinuum’s planned IPO is the moment quantum finally hits the public markets in grown‑up form. This isn’t another early‑stage SPAC story; it’s a full‑stack platform spun out of Honeywell, with trapped‑ion hardware that regularly tops industry benchmarks and a real software and applications business on top. By combining industrial‑grade engineering with production‑grade tooling in chemistry, security, and optimization, Quantinuum gives investors exposure not just to “qubits,” but to an integrated quantum stack that already serves enterprise workloads. For technical and business leaders, as well as investors, the key question now is how public markets will price a quantum company that actually looks like an infrastructure and software provider rather than a speculative science project. Whatever the final valuation, this IPO will likely become the benchmark for what “mature” looks like in quantum—deep IP, differentiated hardware, and diversified revenue experiments before ringing the bell.

Great speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network. We covered a lot of pressing semiconductor topics, including: - The importance of creating export policies that balance economic and security objectives. - How the U.S. Department of Commerce’s LOI investment of $150M in xLight Inc. will help drive chip innovation here at home. - Why new technologies, like extreme ultraviolet lithography, should allow us to wake up Moore’s Law. - And the critical role energy plays in advancing our AI capabilities. https://lnkd.in/gQtzJ9VB

I am thrilled to share the next chapter in Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s long-standing partnership with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and AMD.   Together, we are building Discovery, a next-generation exascale supercomputer, and Lux, the first U.S. AI factory supercomputer. The Lux system will help the DOE accelerate progress and innovation in the areas of AI, energy research, materials, medicine, and advanced manufacturing. And Discovery will drive up to 10X greater application productivity—expanding research, unlocking new horizons in various scientific fields, and advancing the lab’s mission of innovation and security. I'm incredibly proud of the teams who have come together to push the limits of what’s possible in supercomputing. Partnerships like this exemplify our shared commitment to advancing innovation that moves science, research, and society forward. #HPE #HPC #Innovation #Supercomputing #Partnership #Science #Research https://lnkd.in/gbSUMcyS

In the early 1990s, discussions surrounding #IBM's potential breakup stirred controversy, with #WSJ and others advocating for its division into "Baby Blues." However, the new CEO, Lou Gerstner, boldly decided to keep the company unified. Now, the question in the context of Intel: Who stands to gain from a potential breakup of #Intel? Would such a move yield a short-term market value surge, or is it geared towards enhancing long-term competitiveness in the semiconductor realm as we shift towards the AI era? The upcoming decisions by the Board, not only concerning corporate strategy and structure but also the appointment of a CEO to navigate Intel's next phase, will be significant as the AI race speeds up. #AI #Semiconductors #Business_History

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to quantum readiness. That’s why we designed Microsoft’s quantum platform to be customizable and scalable, empowering business leaders to leverage purpose-built, hybrid compute solutions that can integrate AI, HPC and quantum where and when each is most impactful. Because quantum computing will not exist in isolation, being quantum-ready means continuing to build expertise in advanced AI and HPC technologies. One crucial step to preparing a quantum strategy is building an application roadmap that connects your organization’s priorities with technology capabilities - both present and future. From accelerating large-scale data processing and enhancing co-reasoning capabilities to solving problems with classical-quantum algorithms, hybrid applications can help leaders gain a competitive edge and capture near-term, medium-term, and long-term business value. In this Quantum Ready skilling module, Ester De Nicolás and Nathan Baker discuss the real-world applications for AI and HPC today and how these technologies will integrate with reliable quantum computing in the future to enable new opportunities for industries including chemistry, manufacturing, and life sciences.

"We’ve had the amazing opportunity to forge a groundbreaking partnership between AWS and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility (NIF). This collaboration marks a significant milestone in applying AI to advance scientific research and operational excellence. NIF, where scientists achieved historic fusion ignition in 2022, is implementing AWS's latest generative AI services to enhance their operational efficiency. The first phase has successfully deployed advanced semantic search capabilities across 22 years of operational data, analyzing over 98,000 problem logs to help staff resolve issues more quickly. "Our collaboration with Amazon Web Services marks a significant leap forward in integrating advanced AI technologies into our nuclear energy research and development initiatives,” said INL Laboratory Director John Wagner. “This partnership underscores the critical role of linking the nation's lead nuclear energy laboratory with the nation's largest hyperscaler. By leveraging AWS's cutting-edge cloud computing and AI solutions, we can accelerate nuclear energy deployment for America.” This partnership comes at a crucial time as NIF continues to push the boundaries of scientific achievement. I'm proud that our team's work will help address key challenges in stockpile stewardship research while setting new standards for AI applications in high-stakes scientific facilities. Huge shoutout to the team, especially Monica Matese, Nate Lee-Deison, @Mike Fore, Nick Biso, Mark G. Arnone Jenny Close, Michael Jeffrey Van Wie, Duncan Botti, and Rob Parsons for making this vision a reality!
