Barron’s Technology | Street Notes
“IBM Stock Is Under Pressure. Is Its Quantum Business Reason Enough to Buy?” is paywalled, but we know that it asks a question about timing: “When do investors need to own IBM for quantum?” A better question would be: “Do investors need to own IBM for quantum?,” because that might answer the first question.

Barron’s Technology
“IonQ’s Investor Day Is Approaching. What to Expect From the ‘Nvidia of Quantum.’” is paywalled, but we can see that it makes an astonishingly bold association in the title. That said, it’s also astonishing how many quantum technology companies are making this exact same association. I’ve lost count.

Bloomberg Technology

Reuters
“China to support ‘little giants’ and other emerging companies in plan to boost jobs and innovation” mentions quantum technology, generically, as one of the strategic sectors that China is pledging support for.
Barron’s Technology
“Why IBM, Microsoft Back Move for Quantum Policy Czar” is paywalled, but we know that it is about the American Quantum Competitiveness Act.
And that’s the way it is, Sunday, September 6, 2026.
