The quantum industry, reported without compromise.
Quantum Zeitgeist is an independent publication covering quantum computing, quantum networking and quantum security. Founded in 2018, we publish daily news, company analysis, market intelligence and long-form features for researchers, engineers, investors, policymakers and technology leaders worldwide.
Quantum Zeitgeist has had one goal since 2018: trusted, expert quantum technology news written by people who know the field. We are independent. We are free to read. And we are not going anywhere.
What We Cover
Quantum Zeitgeist covers the quantum technology industry every day, from the research lab to the boardroom. What started in 2018 as a specialist resource is now one of the most widely read independent quantum publications in the world, with readers across academia, industry and government.
- Quantum Computing: Gate-based and annealing architectures, error correction, fault tolerance and quantum advantage milestones from IBM, Google, IonQ, Quantinuum and beyond.
- Quantum Hardware: Superconducting qubits, photonic chips, trapped-ion systems, neutral atoms and the engineering challenges of scaling to millions of qubits.
- Post-Quantum Cryptography: NIST PQC standards, migration timelines, real-world deployments and the quantum threat to current encryption.
- Quantum Sensing & Metrology: Atomic clocks, quantum gravimeters, medical imaging and navigation applications already reaching the market.
- Artificial Intelligence & Quantum: Quantum machine learning, AI-accelerated quantum simulation and the growing convergence of AI and quantum technology.
- Quantum Networking: Quantum internet infrastructure, entanglement distribution, satellite-based QKD and the quantum repeater race.
- Industry & Investment: Funding rounds, government programmes, national quantum initiatives and the commercial roadmaps of leading quantum companies.
- Quantum Physics & Research: Peer-reviewed breakthroughs, preprint highlights and fundamental science underpinning the next generation of quantum technologies.
How We Do It
Three resources, built since 2018, give Quantum Zeitgeist readers a fuller picture of the quantum technology world than any single publication can.

The Quantum Zeitgeist team is small but covers a lot of ground. Each writer has real expertise in their area.
Dr. Donovan oversees editorial direction and covers the full quantum technology stack: fault-tolerant computing, photonic architectures, post-quantum cryptography and the geopolitical race for quantum advantage. His background in physics and technology analysis gives him a systems-level view of an industry where technical depth and commercial awareness matter in equal measure.
Rohail covers fundamental quantum physics and emerging quantum technology research. With a background in quantum science, he translates complex developments in quantum mechanics, computing architectures and experimental physics into reporting that is technically rigorous without being inaccessible.
Una covers the investment flows, government strategy and international dynamics shaping quantum technology commercialisation. She focuses on the decisions that matter most: funding rounds, trade policy and strategic partnerships. Her background is in technology policy and market analysis.
Kyrlynn has been writing about the quantum technology industry since its current wave began. She covers company profiles, product launches and feature articles on quantum hardware and software businesses. Her writing is accurate, detailed and written for readers who want to understand the companies building the quantum age.
Ivy has been covering emerging technology and computing for over two decades. At Quantum Zeitgeist she focuses on the technology, software and data science dimensions of the quantum computing industry, writing for readers who want the technical picture without the hype.
Rusty covers the theoretical side of quantum science: entanglement, the foundations of quantum mechanics and what a post-quantum world might actually mean. He writes the kind of long, exploratory pieces that most publications do not have the patience for, and has been doing it since 2021.
Editorial Standards
These are the standards we hold ourselves to. They have not changed since we launched in 2018.
Sourcing
Company and industry news is sourced from official announcements, regulatory filings, press releases and direct contact with industry participants. Research coverage draws on peer-reviewed publications and preprint archives including arXiv, with links to original papers in every article. We do not publish unverified claims or speculative reports without clear attribution.
Independence
Quantum Zeitgeist accepts no payment for editorial coverage. Commercial relationships (advertising, sponsorship, consultancy) are kept strictly separate from the newsroom and have no influence on editorial decisions. We have never published paid-for editorial content and we never will.
Corrections
Factual errors are corrected promptly and noted inline on the affected article with a timestamped notice. To report an inaccuracy, contact us here. We take accuracy seriously and respond to all correction requests.
