Understanding WQTM Fund/Index

Cboe BZX Exchange trades the WisdomTree Quantum Computing Fund (WQTM), a U.S.-listed ETF. The fund was founded in October 2025 to capture long-term development as the quantum sector moves from theory to commercialization.

The fund mimics the WisdomTree Classiq Quantum Computing Index's price and yield. Co-developed with quantum software leader Classiq, this index evaluates potential constituents using a tight framework. The review focuses on two metrics:

Relevance: How important a business's operations are to quantum computing.

Purity: Quantum technology exposure compared to other commercial fields.

The ranking seeks to include both global technical leaders and pure-play quantum inventors who are promoting quantum technology. As of February 2026, WQTM had $26.4 million in assets and 0.45% expense ratio.

Recent Strategic Advances

The inclusion in WQTM follows BTQ Technologies' technological and business advances. BTQ has been expanding its physical and cooperative presence, according to business reports:

In order to accelerate the development of its Quantum Computing in Memory (QCIM) technology, the business recently opened a new Quantum Hardware Commercialization Hub in New York City and hired key engineers.

Silicon Innovation: BTQ and ITRI validated the QCIM Quantum Secure Chip in silicon.

Software & Emulation: BTQ, QPerfect, and SDT launched MIMIQTM-powered quantum emulation on QUREKATM to broaden their services.

Market context and risks

Fast innovation and high uncertainty characterize quantum computing. BTQ management acknowledges various risks, even though they believe in quantum-resistant algorithms and vulnerabilities. These include the fluctuating need for post-quantum and encryption technology personnel, the speculative nature of R&D, and the availability of continuing funding.

The organization also notes that economic conditions, legal changes (particularly blockchain-related ones), and the indirect consequences of global events like COVID-19 may delay or make funding research activities harder.

Infleqtion and Churchill Capital Corp X File Landmark SEC Filing for Q1 2026 Merger

Churchill Capital X

Infleqtion and Churchill Capital Corp X submitted their joint registration statement on Form S-4 to the SEC, which is likely to transform quantum technology's business landscape.

An important step in the proposed corporate combination to make Infleqtion public. The company will likely float on a major North American exchange as “INFQ.”

The Official Road to Public Markets

The filing marks the transition from private conversations to formal regulatory assessment and follows a confidential draft submission on October 29, 2025. The Form S-4 is a comprehensive preliminary prospectus and proxy statement that discloses the company's financials, risk factors, and transaction details.

Investors often view the S-4 filing as the start of the “home stretch” of a SPAC deal. The transaction cannot proceed to a shareholder vote until the SEC approves this statement. However, passing the draft stage is a big de-risking event that normally boosts investor confidence and market clarity.

Financial Architecture and Strategy

The merger is expected to transform the quantum business financially. Infleqtion may collect 540 million in gross proceeds from Churchill X shareholder remorid emptions. This cash includes over 125 million from a common stock PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) supported by new and present institutional investors at the transaction's agreed-upon price.

Infleqtion will use these revenues to accelerate product commercialization and technical development. The capital infusion will specifically target:

Increasing production to meet demand. Increased AI integration. Improved space and national security development.

Neutral-Atom Benefit

Commercially, Infleqtion is known for neutral-atom technology leadership. Compared to quantum modalities, neutral-atom systems are cost-effective, scalable, and flexible. This novel approach lets Infleqtion combine precision sensing and quantum computation in a single product architecture.

The “Sqale” platform is the company's full-stack, fault-tolerant neutral-atom quantum computer, and its sensing portfolio includes inertial sensors, quantum RF receivers, and the Tiqker atomic clock. Infleqtion becomes a market-differentiated platform for practical application by adding sensors and computation.

Latest Tech and Operational Advances Technological advances that put Infleqtion ahead of schedule have increased interest for this merger. The company got 12 logical qubits with mistake detection and loss correction, which is impressive. This achievement advances the company's objective of 1,000 logical qubits by 2030 and exceeds its 2026 expectations.

Infleqtion partners with global business and government leaders beyond the lab:

NVIDIA: The Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park is installing GPU-accelerated AI systems using NVQLink.

Royal Navy: First quantum optical clock demonstration for autonomous underwater navigation, advancing GPS-free positioning.

Army: The “SAPIENT” initiative focuses on AI-enabled positioning and timing in contested or GPS-denied settings.

Defense and Safran Electronics have cooperated to evaluate integrated robust timing solutions. The first quarter of 2026 should see global availability.

Broad Market Impact

If approved in Q1 2026, Infleqtion will be the first publicly traded neutral-atom quantum technology business. It will also be the only publicly traded business with commercial computing and sensor leadership.

According to industry observers, this agreement portends quantum developments. By investing hundreds of millions of dollars in an industry with long R&D cycles, the deal ushers in a new era of institutional faith in quantum applications that transcend academic research and join the commercial mainstream.

Steps to Close

The transaction must meet certain closing criteria, including the SEC's approval of the Registration Statement, Churchill X shareholders' assent, and others. After these conditions are met, the amalgamated company will be called “Infleqtion Inc.”

AI Enabled Atom Arrays

Introducing the world's largest atomic array, Chinese physicists indicate a quantum leap.

Chinese researchers advanced quantum physics by building the largest array of atoms for quantum computers. Its 2,024 rubidium atoms and 60 millisecond build make it ten times larger than previous systems.

Physicist Pan Jianwei, University of Science and Technology of China researchers, and Shanghai Quantum Science Research Center/Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory researcher Han-Sen Zhong led the groundbreaking study. Global academic journal Physical Review Letters reported their findings.

This finding is a crucial step towards large-scale neutral atom quantum computing and computational efficiency. The team's technique lays the groundwork for creation of quantum processors with tens of thousands of Qubits.

Speed and Precision with AI

This achievement relies on a real-time AI system that precisely arranges atoms. Positioning individual atoms, which were qubits, the building blocks of quantum computing, was previously tedious and limited it. Pan's group employed an AI-guided laser instead of atom-by-atom movement to solve this problem.

The device uses a high-speed spatial light modulator to shape laser beams to capture and reorganise rubidium atoms into two- and three-dimensional patterns. After calculating the best pathways and laser guiding, the AI system can move all atoms in the array. This ensures a 60-millisecond setup time for arrays with hundreds or thousands of atoms. Constant time overhead is needed to scale the method to tens of thousands of atoms without slowing it down.

World-Class Precision

Along with its scale and speed, the system operated with world-class accuracy. According to researchers:

The single-qubit accuracy is 99.97%.

Two-qubit operations are 99.5% accurate.

99.92% Qubit state detection accuracy. Top colleges worldwide, including the US, have achieved similar results.

Impact on Quantum Computing

Scalable quantum information processing is promise with neutral atom quantum computers' high-fidelity operations and qubit scalability. This innovation overcomes the challenge of retrieving readout results while maintaining quantum job execution speed.

Balancing fidelity and atomic preservation can help create scalable and high-throughput neutral atom quantum processors, the researchers said. Such systems could revolutionise sensors, simulation, near-term algorithm implementation, simulating complex molecules for drug development, logistics, and materials science optimisation.

Due to their stability and rich scaling potential, neutral atoms are receiving attention in quantum computing research, which has historically concentrated on superconducting circuits and trapped ions. China's “father of quantum” Pan Jianwei's team's latest achievement fits into a bigger national strategy to compete with and possibly surpass international quantum leaders.

Despite its huge scale-up, the new approach cannot move atoms vertically in three dimensions and requires faster light modulators and stronger lasers to reach theoretical limits. The team plans to improve these parts to manipulate larger arrays and enable three-dimensional mobility to construct fault-tolerant, all-purpose quantum computing.
