Iceberg Quantum's Pinnacle 1.2 says simulations show RSA-2048 factoring could need about 48,000 physical qubits and roughly a day under its best assumptions.

Quantinuum says its Helios trapped-ion computer reached 99.9995% logical fidelity with a color code, about five errors per million operations.

Google Quantum AI says magic state cultivation worked on its Willow chip, cutting errors about 40-fold and yielding T-states at 99.99% logical fidelity.

Barcelona's Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech says it closed €19.6 million, with €10 million from Indra Group via IndraMind and €9.6 million from Spain's SETT.

The UK government announced £78 million for quantum: £50 million for sensing and navigation projects, £20 million for networking and £8 million for apprentices.
