QuEra Computing found 46% of enterprises expect quantum budgets to stay flat, 10% foresee cuts and 44% still expect increases.
The study says boards are shifting from hype-led experimentation to proof-driven spending, demanding clear use cases, scientific validation and a credible path to return on investment.
Government schemes were the top driver of budget increases for 28% of respondents, while advanced firms invest mainly when classical computing limits are reached.

With private investment cooling, can government funding alone win the global quantum race before practical applications emerge?

As classical computing debunks quantum claims, what milestone will finally silence skeptics and unlock massive private investment?

Is the looming threat of 'Q-Day' the only driver forcing businesses to finally take quantum technology seriously?
