CES 2026: A Quick Recap

What we saw at CES 2026 in Las Vegas last week is that quantum technology clearly stepped out of the lab and into broader industry view, with major companies and startups showcasing practical advances and real-world applications. The CES Foundry hosted dedicated quantum sessions and demos from leaders such as D-Wave and others illustrating hybrid quantum-classical computing, energy-efficient superconducting systems, and commercial use cases in optimization, manufacturing, and supply chains. Companies also highlighted how quantum is beginning to intersect with AI and cloud services, signaling a shift from theoretical promise to tangible value and ecosystem collaboration.
