The Dublin testbed adds a physical hardware angle to Horizon Quantum’s software story. The company’s Triple Alpha platform is designed to work across different types of quantum hardware, so investors appear to be treating the IonQ-backed expansion as a sign that Horizon’s software stack is moving closer to real-world commercial use.
QUBT Gets a Fresh Order Catalyst
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT), a quantum optics and photonics company, also posted a strong session. The stock rose 10.13% to $10.76 after the company announced an initial purchase order and framework agreement with Planck Dynamics for its NeuraWave photonic reservoir computer.
The initial order covers five systems, with deliveries expected in 2026. The agreement also includes a possible path to as many as 100 systems, with a potential total program value above $10 million. Future orders are not guaranteed, but the announcement gave investors a more concrete business milestone to factor into the stock’s price.
Other quantum names also joined the rally. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS) climbed 7.72%. Rigetti Computing Inc. (RGTI) rose 5.51%, while IonQ gained 3.40%.
