Investor sentiment around quantum computing is shifting, as the industry as a whole is gaining momentum. And it is not only coming from industry boosters. According to The Quantum Insider’s Q2 2025 report, private capital investments, strategic acquisitions, and technical progress all increased in the second quarter. From early-stage funding rounds to corporate roadmaps and policy updates, quantum is showing signs of moving closer to commercial scale. Before we begin with this week’s recap, let’s examine the chart below, which clearly illustrates the increasing demand for quantum systems on the global stage. This suggests wider adoption across more geographies and sectors, as buyers seek to diversify risk and test systems at smaller scales. The headline figure is $1.16 billion in private funding during Q2, representing a 50% increase from the same period last year. The quarter saw fewer deals but larger ones, a pattern that typically reflects growing confidence among institutional investors. For context, Spain-based Multiverse Computing has raised $215 million to advance its AI compression tool for large language models. SandboxAQ raised $450 million from new and returning backers, including Ray Dalio, Google, and Nvidia Corporation.
