Broomfield, 5 November 2026. Quantinuum Inc. (Nasdaq: QNT) announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and raised its revenue outlook for 2026 after landing its largest cloud agreement. The company did not disclose the value of the agreement or specific revenue figures.
In the third quarter, Quantinuum extended its technology leadership in fault-tolerance, added to its customer base, and expanded its routes to market, according to Rajeeb Hazra, President and Chief Executive Officer. Hazra said the momentum supports the raised revenue outlook and gives the company more confidence in the opportunity ahead.
Separately, Quantinuum unveiled a new roadmap to evolve Quantinuum Nexus, its platform as a service, aiming to deliver a developer platform designed for the fault-tolerant era. The roadmap introduces new capabilities with each generation of hardware through Apollo, the company's first universal, fully fault-tolerant quantum computer planned for 2029.
Since its launch in 2024, Nexus has expanded from managing cloud-based quantum workflows to end-to-end application development and deployment. Today, Nexus supports more than 200 organizations, up 45% in 2026, while total job submissions increased tenfold in the 12 months through August 2026 compared with the preceding 12-month period. Developers can already automatically apply supported error-correction techniques to programs and run them on Helios.
"Our full-stack approach means each advance in hardware can become a capability customers can build on through Nexus," said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, Quantinuum CEO. "Our aim is to build the first developer platform specifically for the fault-tolerant era so customers can start developing applications today and carry that investment forward."
Quantinuum will host a conference call at 5 PM Eastern time on Thursday, November 5, 2026, to discuss its third quarter results and provide a business update. An archive replay of the webcast will be available on the Quantinuum Investor Relations website for one year.

IonQ reported record third quarter revenue of $173.8 million, up 336 percent year over year, and raised full year 2026 guidance to $505 to $515 million on 110 percent quantum computing growth. Backlog more than doubled to $1.2 billion, with demand led by Superion 256 system deployments, including NVIDIA's first on-premise quantum computer. The company also advanced to Stage C of DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative and acquired Elisity to extend quantum security.
Universal Quantum has launched the iQPU, a trapped-ion quantum processing unit with more than 400mm² of active compute area, integrated control electronics and UQConnect chip-to-chip links. It is made on a commercial 200mm semiconductor line.
Qendra, an ETH Zurich spin-off, is building a compact control system that generates and coordinates the radio-frequency and laser signals driving trapped-ion and neutral-atom qubits. The device synchronises lasers, cameras and detectors and can evaluate measurements continuously to trigger corrective pulses during a calculation, addressing the lack of real-time error correction in existing controllers.
