Earnings callGrowing demand for quantum systems and strategic government funding to advance technology roadmap
“Our recently announced letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for up to $100 million in potential funding underscores the strategic importance of our platform and could help us accelerate key R&D programs aimed at scaling and advancing superconducting quantum computing.”
· Subodh Kulkarni (CEO)
“Gross margin for the quarter was approximately 43%, compared to 31% in the second quarter of 2025, with variability driven by contract mix and pricing and the relative contribution from Novera QPU sales.”
· Jeff Bertelsen (CFO)
Positives
  • ▲Revenue Growth and On-Premises Demand
    • Q2 revenue rose to $5.1 million from $1.8 million in the same period last year.
    • Demand for on-premises systems remains strong, driven by Novera QPU sales to research institutions.
  • ▲Strategic U.S. Government Funding
    • Signed a letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for up to $100 million in funding.
    • The funding will accelerate R&D for superconducting quantum computing over the next three years.
  • ▲Technology Roadmap and Partnerships
    • Expanded collaboration with HPE and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center for hybrid quantum systems.
    • Continuing infrastructure investments to support the path toward 1,000-qubit systems.
Concerns
  • ▼Persistent Operating Losses and Rising Costs
    • Operating loss widened to $28.1 million from $19.9 million in the prior year period.
    • Operating expenses increased to $30.3 million from $20.4 million due to higher R&D and facility investments.
  • ▼Technical Constraints and Performance Hurdles
    • Coherence time remains limited at 25-30 microseconds, acting as a primary constraint on fidelity.
    • Two-qubit gate fidelity for the 108-qubit system is at 99.1%, requiring further process improvements to reach the 99.9% target.
  • ▼Cash Burn and Elevated Capital Expenditures
    • Cash and investments decreased to $541.3 million from $569 million in the previous quarter.
    • Capital expenditures are expected to remain elevated in 2026 due to ongoing investments in refrigeration and fab equipment.
