Quantum computing is expected to be a massive game-changer for just about every industry, creating incredible opportunities for stocks, such as ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), D-Wave Systems (NYSE: QBTS), and Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT). In fact, according to analysts at Bank of America, quantum computing could be “humanity’s biggest breakthrough since the discovery of fire.”
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the industry is now at an inflection point, adding that the world is “within reach” of being able to use quantum computers.
With it, the world may be able to solve problems far too complex for typical computers within minutes, or even seconds. It could even be used to discover new drugs, quicker than even imagined. It may even be able to help advance artificial intelligence, machine learning, financial modeling, cybersecurity, batteries, and even help strengthen drone navigation.
It also has the potential to significantly transform defense by rapidly processing massive volumes of sensor and surveillance data. From threat detection to mission planning, quantum-powered drone systems, for example, can deliver insights and intelligence at speeds classical computer systems cannot match.
It’s Why ZenaTech is Developing Proprietary Quantum Computing Hardware Platform for Defense, Infrastructure and Drone Fleet Projects
ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA) just announced that it’s building a proprietary quantum computing hardware platform to power ZenaDrone’s AI drones for real time immense data applications and predictions. The platform will be applied to defense projects and a variety of commercial sectors. Designed with an initial capacity of up to five qubits, the prototype will serve as a foundation for future applications and a testbed for the developing and scaling of future systems integrating directly with the company’s advanced AI drones.
ZenaTech is applying this capability to its drone platforms currently under development to support the Department of War and NATO partner countries with faster intelligence, improved situational awareness, and enhanced mission readiness for inspection, surveillance, and reconnaissance applications.
According to Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO:
“Across both commercial and defense applications, customers increasingly expect AI-powered drones and fleets to deliver unprecedented speed, accuracy, and predictive insights from massive data sets. Quantum computing will be the catalyst that elevates those capabilities to an entirely ne7w standard. By developing our own proprietary quantum computing hardware, we reduce reliance on third-party providers and gain greater autonomy over our innovation roadmap. Most importantly, this strategic move positions us to create enduring long-term value while being a leader in the global race to shape the future of defense and critical infrastructure technologies.”
Other related developments from around the markets include:
IonQ Inc., the leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, announced it has achieved a record algorithmic qubit score of #AQ 64. This milestone was achieved on an IonQ Tempo system, three months ahead of schedule, establishing IonQ as the only company to reach #AQ 64 setting a new standard for quantum systems. #AQ benchmarks measure a quantum system’s ability to run quantum algorithms of increasing complexity and size while maintaining high fidelity. Achieving #AQ 64 indicates that IonQ’s quantum systems can address a set of increasingly complex real-world applications such as energy grid distribution improvements, computational drug discovery, engineering simulation modeling, supply chain optimization, and enhanced fraud and anomaly detection.
Rigetti Computing, a pioneer in hybrid quantum-classical computing, announced that it was awarded a three-year, $5.8 million contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to advance superconducting quantum networking. Rigetti will be collaborating with QphoX on the project, a Dutch quantum technology startup developing leading frequency conversion systems for quantum applications. Quantum networking is being explored for its potential revolutionary use cases such as distributed quantum computing and developing a secure quantum internet. Much like classical HPC, quantum networks could provide a path for scaling to larger, more powerful quantum computing systems by networking smaller systems together to solve problems by using multiple quantum processors. It could also unlock the ability to transmit information between quantum nodes in different geographical regions.
D-Wave Systems, a leader in commercial quantum computing systems, software, and services, announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. “Our second quarter results show consistently strong performance across a multitude of technical and business metrics,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “During the quarter, we brought to market our sixth-generation quantum computer, signed a memorandum of understanding related to the acquisition of an on-premises system in South Korea, completed physical assembly of the previously announced system at Davidson Technologies, introduced a collection of developer tools to advance quantum AI and machine learning innovation, and ended the quarter with a record $819 million in cash. We’re confident in our ability to continue delivering long-term value for our customers, partners and shareholders.”
Quantum Computing, an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today announced that it will be exhibiting at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2025 in Booth C4235, where it will debut its Quantum Secure Solution, a one-of-a-kind commercial high dimensional time-energy-based quantum secure network. QCi's Quantum Secure Solution represents a significant technological milestone in the advancement of quantum communications. Built on high-dimensional time-energy entangled quantum modes, the platform offers greater data density, improved scalability, and enhanced noise resilience. It operates at room temperature, eliminating the need for cryogenics, and is broadband-compatible, seamlessly integrating with existing telecom infrastructure. By leveraging time-energy entanglement at telecom wavelengths, it provides a more robust and practical alternative to polarization-based approaches.
