Bull points
- are indeed in the national security world, whether here or in the U.K. or in Australia. This indicates that the national security side of the business is starting to spike.
- The growth in quantity and quality of qubits on our scale QPU has allowed us to advance from two logical qubits in 2024 to 12 logical qubits in 2025 ahead of our roadmap. And we remain on track for 30 logical qubits in 2026 and 100 in 2028, when we expect the first commercially relevant applications to be run.
- Importantly, we are not just demonstrating logical qubits in isolation. We are already using them to run real applications in material science, chemistry, and health tech, which builds and validates the key building blocks of commercially relevant quantum computing.
Bear points
- Our gap loss from operations was $33.6 million in Q1 2026, compared with $6.9 million in Q1 2025.
- The majority of the higher loss was driven by stock-based compensation, GO public transaction expenses, and structurally higher operating expenses as we began to increase investment in line with our strategy.
- Cash used in operation was $19 million in Q1 2056, compared with $7 million the year-ago period. Of this $12 million increase in burn year-over-year, roughly $11 million is related to co-public transaction expenses.
