量子技術市場在2026年迎來關鍵轉折點，從創業投資研究轉向開放資本市場、工業規模製造以及政府直接所有。今年上半年，資本市場是推動市場發展的主要動力。 Quantinuum選擇傳統的承銷IPO，而非SPAC（特殊目的收購公司）。該公司透過發行高於最初定價區間的每股60美元的價格，籌集了16.8億美元。隨著Xanadu、Infleqtion和IQM完成上市，該領域的領先硬體公司目前正陸續發布季財報。商業性業績同樣顯著。 IonQ報告指出，其2026年第二季營收年增287%至8,010萬美元，並將全年營收預期上調至2.8億至2.9億美元。

產業政策是下半年的一大主題。美國商務部簽署了九份意向書，總額達20.13億美元，作為CHIPS計畫的獎勵，並以收購每家公司少數股權作為提供資金的條件。 IBM的純量子晶圓代工廠業務Anderon獲得了10億美元的津貼，用於在紐約州奧爾巴尼建造一座300毫米量子晶圓代工廠。產業瓶頸正從量子位元的物理特性轉向其製造，晶圓代工廠、特殊材料、同位素、控制電子元件和光子元件正成為戰略資產。

私人資本持續優先考慮容錯架構。 Oratomic 在 A 輪資金籌措中籌集了 3億美元，其研究支持這項融資策略：大約 1萬個中性原子量子位元（而非數百萬個）可能足以建造一台實用的量子電腦。 OQC 籌集了 2.6億英鎊，這是歐洲迄今為止規模最大的私人量子運算資金籌措。容錯硬體所需數量的不斷減少，使得「量子日」的到來指日可待，並加速了向後量子密碼學的過渡。這推動量子安全市場，特別是量子通訊市場的擴張。

量子感測仍是最大的收入來源，這主要得益於國防領域對獨立於GPS的導航和時間同步以及穿戴式式光脈衝微腦機介面（OPM-MEG）等醫療應用的需求。展望2030年後，隨著容錯系統的出現，量子運算將成為最大的細分市場，IBM Starling和Quantinuum Apollo的目標交付時間預計在2028年至2030年之間。部署方式正從雲端存取高效能運算（HPC）和人工智慧（AI）資料中心內的本機系統，並與GPU緊密協作，以處理混合工作負載和實現即時糾錯。2036年的展望預測將保持強勁成長，但同時也伴隨著較高的執行風險。儘管在藍圖檢驗期間收入停滯預計會持續，但政府資助、公開市場資本以及晶圓代工廠規模的生產製造，正為該行業提供比以往任何週期都更加穩固的基礎。

《2026-2036年全球量子科技市場》是對第二次量子革命的全面分析。本報告涵蓋量子計算、量子通訊、量子感測、量子電池以及支援這些技術的材料和底層硬體。基於至2026年第三季的資料，本報告揭示了迄今為止最顯著的市場變革。具體而言，這包括主要硬體開發商的首次公開募股（IPO）、美國CHIPS計畫下政府股權投資的啟動、純量子代工廠的興起，以及投資向容錯架構的重大轉變。本報告對所有主要量子位元方案（包括超導性量子位元、離子阱量子位元、中性原子量子位元、光子量子位元、矽自旋量子位元、拓樸量子位元、鑽石量子位元和退火系統）進行了詳細的技術評估、市場預測和競爭分析。報告中也包含了截至2046年各模式的收入預測。此外，本報告還透過邏輯量子位元排名、供應商藍圖以及對必要的即時解碼硬體和量子糾錯（QEC）的投資，檢驗了容錯領域的競爭格局。報告還專門用一章 分析了量子電腦如何整合到高效能運算中心和人工智慧資料中心。

The quantum technologies market crossed a decisive threshold in 2026, moving from venture-funded research into public capital markets, industrial-scale manufacturing and direct government ownership. Capital markets defined the first half of the year. Quantinuum chose a conventional underwritten IPO over a SPAC: its upsized offering priced at $60 a share, above its earlier range, and raised $1.68 billion. Xanadu, Infleqtion and IQM completed their listings, so the sector's leading hardware companies now report publicly every quarter. Commercial traction is visible: IonQ reported Q2 2026 revenue of $80.1 million, up 287% year on year, and raised its full-year guidance to $280–290 million.

Industrial policy defined the second half. The US Department of Commerce signed nine letters of intent for $2.013 billion of CHIPS incentives, and as a condition of funding it takes a minority equity stake in each company. Anderon, IBM's pure-play quantum foundry, finalised a $1 billion award for a 300 mm quantum wafer foundry in Albany, New York. The industry's bottleneck is moving from qubit physics to manufacturing, with foundries, specialty materials, isotopes, control electronics and photonic components becoming strategic assets.

Private capital continues to favour fault-tolerant architectures. Oratomic raised a $300 million Series A on research suggesting utility-scale quantum computers may need only about 10,000 neutral-atom qubits rather than millions. OQC raised £260 million, Europe's largest private quantum computing round. Lower estimates of the hardware needed for fault tolerance are bringing "Q-Day" closer and accelerating post-quantum cryptography migration, which is building a large quantum-safe security market around quantum communications.

Quantum sensing remains the largest revenue segment today, driven by defence demand for GPS-independent navigation and timing, alongside healthcare applications such as wearable OPM-MEG. Quantum computing becomes the largest segment after 2030 as fault-tolerant systems arrive: IBM Starling, Quantinuum Apollo and others target 2028–2030. Deployment is shifting from cloud access to on-premises systems in HPC centres and AI data centres, tightly coupled to GPUs for hybrid workloads and real-time error correction. The outlook to 2036 is strong growth with high execution risk. Revenue will stay uneven while roadmaps are validated, but sovereign funding, public-market capital and foundry-scale manufacturing have put the industry on a far more durable footing than in any previous cycle.

The Global Quantum Technologies Market 2026–2036 is a comprehensive analysis of the second quantum revolution. It covers quantum computing, quantum communications, quantum sensing, quantum batteries, and the materials and enabling hardware that underpin them. With data through Q3 2026, the report charts a market undergoing its most significant transformation yet: public listings of leading hardware developers, the arrival of government equity stakes under the US CHIPS programme, the emergence of pure-play quantum foundries, and a decisive shift in investment towards fault-tolerant architectures. The report gives detailed technology assessments, market forecasts and competitive analysis for every major qubit modality: superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, photonic, silicon-spin, topological, diamond and annealing systems. It includes a modality-level revenue forecast to 2046. It examines the race to fault tolerance through a logical-qubit leaderboard, vendor roadmaps, and the real-time decoding hardware and QEC spending it requires. A dedicated chapter analyses how quantum computers are being integrated into HPC centres and AI data centres.

The enabling-technology chapters cover the supply chain in depth: cryogenics and helium-3, isotopically enriched materials, cryo-CMOS and room-temperature control electronics, lasers and photonic integrated circuits, single-photon sources and detectors, and the new generation of quantum foundries. These sections are designed for materials, semiconductor and photonics suppliers assessing quantum as a growth market.

Communications coverage includes QKD, post-quantum cryptography and the wider quantum-safe security market, satellite quantum communications, and quantum memories and repeaters. Sensing coverage includes atomic clocks, magnetometers, gravimeters, quantum PNT for GPS-denied navigation, and biomedical sensing and imaging. End-use analysis spans defence and national security, pharmaceuticals, finance, energy, automotive and other sectors. National programme coverage includes the US, China, the EU, the UK, Japan, South Korea, India and the Gulf States. The report profiles 353 companies, from start-ups to global technology leaders, with products, roadmaps, partnerships and funding histories.

Now in it's Third Edition of The Global Quantum Technologies Market 2026–2036 has been substantially revised and expanded. New chapters and sections include:

  • A dedicated chapter on Quantum–HPC Integration and Quantum Data Centres.
  • A modality market-share forecast for quantum computing to 2046.
  • Expanded analysis of superconducting, trapped-ion and silicon-spin quantum computing.
  • A logical-qubit leaderboard and analysis of real-time QEC decoding hardware.
  • New enabling-hardware sections on quantum foundries and fabrication, room-temperature control and readout electronics, single-photon sources and detectors, and isotopes and specialty inputs (²⁸Si, ¹²C, ion isotopes).
  • In communications: new sections on PQC and QKD as complementary quantum-safe markets, satellite and space quantum communications, and quantum memories, repeaters and the quantum internet.
  • In sensing: new sections on quantum PNT and GPS-denied navigation, timing demand from telecoms, data centres and GNSS resilience, and quantum biomedical sensing and imaging.
  • An expanded Defence and National Security analysis.
  • Updated national programme coverage, including US state initiatives, South Korea and the Gulf States.
