2026-10-03 — more people from company pages
The people directory grew from 74 to 92. New names are titles on a company about or leadership page, including QuantWare’s founders, eleQtron’s founders, planqc’s three physicist founders, Marcus Doherty at Quantum Brilliance, Jonathan King at Atom Computing, QuEra’s current chief executive Andy Ory and president Takuya Kitagawa, and Zapata Quantum’s listed CEO and CTO. Ben Bloom’s page now includes the degree and founding date on Atom Computing’s about page. Pasqal’s conflicting CEO lines are still omitted. No new funding or qubit figures.
2026-10-03 — longer people pages
The people directory grew from 24 names to 74. New entries are executives and co-founders already in the company records whose title appears on a company about or leadership page checked for this pass, including QuEra’s co-founders, Qedma, Classiq, SEEQC, Quantum Art, Entropica, and others. Where that page included a short career paragraph, the biography now repeats it. Title-only pages stayed short. Names the briefs said to re-verify, including the conflicting Pasqal CEO lines and Alex Keesling’s earlier CEO title, are still omitted. No new funding or qubit figures.
2026-10-03 — programme pages, nav, first people set
Each national or regional programme now has its own page, linked from Programmes and from the timeline. The header on every page includes Modalities, Timeline, and Search alongside Programmes and Compare. A first people set (24 names) repeats titles that were on a public company page checked for this pass — IonQ, PsiQuantum, Rigetti, D-Wave, Quantinuum, SQC, Photonic, Diraq, Q-CTRL, Quantum Brilliance, Riverlane, Atom Computing, Quantum Machines, Horizon Quantum, and QuEra’s chief scientist. Anyone the briefs flagged to re-verify was left out. No new funding or qubit figures.
2026-10-03 — modalities, timeline, compare
Modality pages now group the directory tags, linked from company cards and from /modalities/. The timeline grew from dated lines already in the regional briefs (EuroHPC system inaugurations, the Canada strategy launch, the HRL acquisition, Quantinuum’s reported listing, and others). The compare table picked up Quantum Brilliance’s stated installs, and Pasqal’s row now includes the Ruby/JADE and SOL figures the Europe brief already gave. No new qubit counts were invented.
2026-10-03 — logos still blocked, a few more sources
Another pass tried the 18 missing icons. Most of those sites answered with a bot check, HTTP 403, or a TLS failure, so no new logo file was stored. Anyon’s only published mark is a white SVG, which would disappear on the light page, so it was left off. Directory and profile images now drop themselves if the file fails to load. Second sources were added for Origin Quantum (contact page, which also says established in Hefei in 2017), Amazon Braket’s quantum-computers page, the CUDA-Q docs, QC Ware’s about page, QuaTI’s contact page, and OrangeQS downloads. Toshiba’s QKD page dates the Cambridge lab’s move into quantum cryptography to 1999, so that year is on the Toshiba Quantum record. Parent founding years, QBoson rounds, and an OptQC Series A stay blank.
2026-10-03 — logos and another profile pass
Official favicons or brand marks were saved for companies whose sites served a clear icon. They show on directory cards and profile pages. A second on-site page was added where a record had only one source and an about or company URL responded. kiutra’s timeline supplied a 2018 founding year, a 2025 €13 million round, and a 2023 headcount of 50+. planqc’s about page supplied 100+ colleagues and a fuller funding note (€80 million-plus including a 2024 Series A and a 2023 DLR contract) beside the existing MAQCS line. Parent founding years, QBoson round sizes, and an OptQC Series A were not added. Huawei’s record uses a GitHub URL, so the GitHub mark was not used as its logo.
2026-10-03 — third profile pass
Founded years were added for ORCA Computing (2019), Phasecraft (2019), Qblox (2018), and Quantum Art (2022), each from a company page. New funding notes: SEEQC’s $30 million round (15 January 2025), Classiq’s $110 million Series C (May 2025, later described as over $200 million after a November 2025 up-round), Quandela’s November 2023 financing of over €50 million, AQT’s ten-million-euro FFG and University of Innsbruck investment on its timeline, and SandboxAQ’s $500 million CHIPS R&D award (17 June 2026, an award with a minority Commerce stake, not a venture round). Phasecraft’s existing Series B note now includes the company’s “over $50 million including grants” line. Headcount: ORCA 45 and Qblox 150+, from their own pages. Alice & Bob’s press pages still returned HTTP 202, so that funding line was not upgraded. Quantum Art’s team page lists both 70+ and 40+ people, so no headcount was stored. QBoson rounds, an OptQC Series A, and parent founding years for IBM, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, NVIDIA, and Samsung were left blank.
2026-10-03 — second profile pass
Founded years were added for Rigetti (2013), Xanadu (2016), Oxford Ionics (2019), Quantum Motion (2017), Universal Quantum (2018), PQShield (2018), SpinQ (2018), Creotech (2012), OptQC (2024), Quantum Machines (2018), Crypto4A (2017), evolutionQ (2015), Quobly (2022), ParityQC (2020, Nature Outlook), and QunaSys (February 2018). Funding notes were added only where a company page stated a round, including Quobly’s €115 million Series A (3 June 2026), Quantum Machines’ $170 million Series C ($280 million total, February 2025), and Pasqal’s €100 million Series B (January 2023, not a current total). Headcount lines were added for Oxford Ionics, Pasqal, Riverlane, Quandela, and Quobly from their own pages. QBoson round sizes and an OptQC Series A were left blank; OptQC’s page states a January 2025 seed of ¥650 million, not a Series A. Intel and NEC quantum URLs were not rechecked as reachable.
2026-10-03 — profile pass
Same research cutoff. Official sites were added for Open Quantum Design, Quantum Source, Analog Quantum Circuits, and Dobslit. Founded years, a few funding notes, and three headcount figures were filled only where a company page, a government register, or the existing briefs stated them. Programme links were added for Quantum Delta NL (qdnl.nl), France PROQCIMA, Quantum Technologies Aotearoa, and a July 2026 Israel Innovation Authority infrastructure call. Intel’s and NEC’s quantum pages still returned 403, so those records stay on the corporate homepage.
2026-10-03 — first public dataset revision
The site launched as five regional briefs plus a directory of organisations embedded in a JavaScript bundle. This revision turns that snapshot into a citable dataset. It does not move the research cutoff, and it does not add articles the briefs did not support.
- Company records now live in /data/companies.json, with CSV beside it. The directory bundle is generated from that file.
- Each organisation has a page at
/companies/{id}/with its own title, description, and canonical URL. - Official websites and one to three sources were attached where a page was confirmed. Missing links were left blank.
- Founded year, funding text, and headcount were filled only when the existing brief already stated them, and funding keeps a reported / company-asserted label.
- China entries added from the Asia brief, including organisations the brief says have exited hardware: USTC’s Jiuzhang / Zuchongzhi groups, BAQIS, Tencent Quantum Lab, China Telecom Quantum Group, Baidu Quantum (exited), and Alibaba DAMO Quantum (exited). Origin Quantum, SpinQ, and QuantumCTek were already in the directory.
- A programmes directory, a scale comparison, a timeline, and site search.
- Deep reads gained a sources block. A leftover “parent agent” line in the Europe and Asia briefs was removed.
- Newsletter mail is unchanged: the form still fails closed to mailto. No Resend route was added. The news desk is still empty on purpose.
What did not change
- Research cutoff: late September 2026 (Europe and Oceania notes say late September / early October).
- Claim labels: company-asserted, reported, roadmap, contested.
- No invented qubit counts, funding rounds, or articles.
Earlier private drafts are not republished here. This is the first public revision after the initial launch.
