ICM HPQC Fund (“ICM HPQC”) continues to see excitement in the next-generation computing space. In this newsflash, we cover: AI Capital Surge and Bubble Concerns Space-Based Data Centres Move from Concept to Testing Google Claims “Quantum Advantage” – But Critics Disagree DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Nvidia Expands its Quantum Ecosystem Portfolio updates and what we’re seeing across global tech markets ICM HPQC News Flash - November 2025

Diraq has entered the next phase of the DARPA “Quantum Benchmarking Initiative”, positioning itself at the frontline of the race to build a commercially viable, utility-scale quantum computer. The initiative is structured to rigorously evaluate whether quantum computing architectures are capable of delivering value that exceeds their build and operational costs by 2033. Diraq’s involvement leverages its silicon-spin-qubit technology and manufacturing compatibility with existi

Diraq’s silicon spin qubits are exceptionally fast, performing up to a million fault-tolerant operations in under a minute — but this speed demands a powerful, low-latency interface to manage control, error correction and hybrid quantum-classical processes. NVIDIA’s new NVQLink provides that capability, replacing the earlier DGX Quantum system. NVQLink offers Diraq an open, high-performance platform for orchestrating its quantum processing unit (QPU) alongside the classical c

Recent results published in Nature demonstrate that silicon spin qubits designed by Diraq and fabricated on 300 mm wafers at imec in Belgium can achieve consistently high-fidelity quantum logic operations when measured in Sydney, Australia. This work provides clear experimental evidence that high-performance qubits can be manufactured using standard semiconductor foundry processes. The findings represent a significant step toward scalable, utility-grade quantum computing, co
