OQC Raises £260M in Europe’s Largest Private Quantum Round — Where the Money Actually Goes
Europe's largest private quantum round lands at £260M, with 38% from the British Business Bank. The money is earmarked for OQC's TITAN system, but the gap between 32 qubits today and 200 logical qubits by 2028 demands closer examination.

Washington Isn’t Funding Quantum Research. It’s Building Quantum Factories.
Washington's $2 billion CHIPS Act quantum package isn't a research program. It's industrial policy — the U.S. is building quantum fabs, and that changes the calculus for everyone tracking the CRQC timeline.
