At QWC 2025, Aravind Ratnam (Q-CTRL) unveiled how quantum navigation is delivering secure, GPS-independent positioning in contested environments. Backed by DARPA’s RoQS program, Q-CTRL’s technology has already logged dozens of flight hours and is outperforming alternative navigation methods by more than 100×.

Riverlane’s Steve Brierley unveils DeltaKit and a practical path to scale the global QEC developer community—so real-time error correction becomes standard, not rare.

A real utility pilot: EPB, ORNL, NVIDIA, and IonQ use a CPU+GPU+QPU workflow to optimize grid operations—showing how partnerships turn quantum into commercial value.

How “enablement-first” policy, demand signals, and government-as-customer can speed responsible AI & quantum adoption—without sacrificing security or competitiveness.

A candid look at the quantum platform race—where each modality wins, how to tune for performance, and what investors and suppliers should prioritize to scale.

DOE’s Rima Oueid and QIC’s Paul Stimers detail the pivot from research to deployment: commercialization-first policy, grid testbeds, an expanded space-quantum coalition (Honeywell, IonQ, EPB), and clearer paths from SBIR/STTR to Phase III.
