The next intelligence advantage is in radio signals. Infleqtion has secured a ~$12 million (£9 million) award from @innovateuk advance Quantum Spectrum into its next phase of development and productization. In collaboration with @Leonardo_live, a global aerospace, defense and security company, we will develop a compact system that uses atoms to detect and locate radio signals. We will use quantum sensing to develop a new generation of smaller, more deployable radio-frequency systems, expanding where and how critical intelligence can be gathered. This award strengthens Infleqtion’s position in quantum sensing and advances the commercialization of Quantum Spectrum for defense and civilian markets. Learn more: infleqtion.com/infleqtion-uk…

Infleqtion just demonstrated 30 logical qubits working together on its Sqale quantum computer which is another meaningful step in logical qubit scaling. Congrats to a partner on another milestone hit.
Infleqtion just demonstrated 30 logical qubits working together to help manage that noise on our Sqale quantum computer. Why does that matter? More reliable quantum computers can run longer, more complex computations. Those are the kinds of computations needed to help tackle real-world challenges, from discovering new medicines and better materials, to building more resilient energy systems and strengthening national security. Next target: 100 logical qubits by 2028.

Infleqtion just hit 30 entangled logical qubits on Sqale using only 80 physical qubits by completing its 2026 roadmap milestone. The company says this makes it the first neutral-atom quantum player to reach 30 logical qubits on a commercial system. Congrats to partners at Infleqtion on the news!
A major milestone for Infleqtion: 30 entangled logical qubits, working together in a single computation on Sqale. Using just 80 physical qubits, Infleqtion has delivered its 2026 roadmap milestone, becoming the first neutral-atom quantum computing company to reach 30 logical qubits on a commercial system. Congratulations to our Sqale hardware and Superstaq software teams on an extraordinary achievement. Their co-design made this possible, alongside an AI-assisted discovery that halves the physical gates needed for a key logical operation. Fewer gates mean fewer chances for error as we push toward larger, more complex computations. Next stop: 100 logical qubits in 2028, with customer application development already underway. Each advancement brings us closer to the goal: quantum computers that can tackle problems customers can’t solve today. Read the announcement: ow.ly/2vhu50ZQQcp Explore the science: ow.ly/YLxr50ZQQcm

The path to large-scale quantum advantage runs through connected quantum systems. Infleqtion is collaborating with @Cisco to explore how neutral-atom quantum computers and sensors can connect into scalable, distributed quantum networks. Our neutral-atom technology computes, stores quantum memory, senses and interfaces naturally with light, providing a strong foundation for linking quantum devices within Cisco’s network architecture. Together, we’re advancing the research needed to connect quantum systems into more capable networks. Read more:ow.ly/L38V50ZLHxI @outshiftbycisco

🚀 We're delighted to extend our partnership with NASA on the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder mission!
NASA has awarded Infleqtion a $20 million follow-on contract for the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder mission, bringing NASA’s total investment in Infleqtion's work for this program to $40 million. Working with @NASAJPL, Infleqtion will design, build, and test key components for the world’s first space-based quantum gravity sensor, including testing the system in microgravity at the Einstein Elevator (@hitec_elevator) in Germany. The @NASA-led mission is expected to launch in 2030 and could help enable future tools for monitoring water, ice, and natural resources from low Earth orbit. Learn more: ow.ly/LYaI50ZFSHa

More on last week's announcement with @eatoncorp: Infleqtion has been selected by Eaton to support research exploring how quantum computing can strengthen the resilience of the U.S. electrical grid. The collaboration will advance quantum-powered grid contingency analysis, helping evaluate how utilities could identify vulnerabilities, assess complex failure scenarios, and reduce the risk of cascading outages. This program also reflects growing federal investment in quantum computing for mission-critical applications, where advanced computing capabilities have the potential to strengthen U.S. energy infrastructure, economic resilience, and national security. Infleqtion will bring its quantum computing expertise to this work with Eaton, advancing research at the intersection of quantum technology and critical infrastructure.

Welcome to Infleqtion, Dr. Joseph Buck! Joe joins Infleqtion as Senior Vice President of Quantum Computing Systems, where he will lead development of Sqale, our scalable neutral-atom quantum computer. His career spans more than two decades building quantum, optical, and photonic systems that have moved from research into deployed technologies for government, defense, and commercial customers. As Infleqtion expands deployments in the U.K., Japan, and soon Illinois, Joe's deep experience in translating breakthrough science into reliable, scalable systems will help accelerate our path toward utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. We're excited to have him on the team as we continue building the next generation of quantum technology. Read more: ow.ly/FYG550ZtTUm
