Quantum technology is being deployed, secured and staffed in Florida now. That was the message yesterday with 400 business, government and research leaders at Quantum Beach 2026 in West Palm Beach.

⚛️ A year ago, embracing quantum was a bet. Today, D-Wave has moved its global headquarters to Boca Raton, Florida Atlantic University has a dedicated $20 million quantum computer, Palm Beach State College has a training center, and Alex Challans of The Quantum Insider released the first findings of a statewide study of Florida’s quantum sector, commissioned by FloridaCommerce in partnership with the BDB.

Thank you to our co-hosts The Quantum Insider and Quantum Coast Capital, presenting sponsors IonQ and D-Wave, and to U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, The City of West Palm Beach Mayor Keith James and Jason Mahon of FloridaCommerce for opening the day with us.

🔗 Full recap:

FBI, the National Science Foundation and D-Wave joined 400 leaders in West Palm Beach. Federal security, a statewide quantum study and the talent pipeline behind Florida’s newest industry.
