Global Quantum 2.0 Market 2026-2036: Explore Multi-Billion Growth Opportunities in Quantum Computing, Communications, Sensing, Simulation, and Machine Learning

Dublin, May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Quantum 2.0 Market 2026-2036" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Quantum 2.0 Market 2026-2036 is the most comprehensive commercial intelligence report available on the second quantum revolution.

Commercially, 2025 proved the decisive inflection point. Full-year quantum financings approached $10 billion globally - more than five times the 2023 trough - with fifteen companies each raising over $100 million. Cumulative global investment from 2012 through early 2026 exceeded $60 billion, with government commitments representing roughly half. North America holds approximately 47% of global investment share, followed by Asia-Pacific at 29% and Europe at 15-16%. National quantum strategies - from the US National Quantum Initiative and the EU Quantum Flagship to programmes in China, the UK, Germany, France, Australia, and India - reflect a strategic global race that spans both civilian commerce and national security.

At 608 pages and spanning 17 chapters, 185 data tables, and company profiles of more than 320 organisations, it constitutes an authoritative reference for investors, technology developers, corporate strategists, and government policymakers navigating the rapidly expanding quantum technology landscape.

The report opens with an exceptionally detailed Executive Summary that documents the historic investment surge of 2025 - a year in which total global quantum financings approached $10 billion, more than double any prior year. It traces cumulative investment trajectories from 2012 through early 2026 (exceeding $60 billion globally), maps the investment landscape by technology segment, company, application, and region, and provides a granular account of the most significant deals, acquisitions, and government commitments of the 2024-2025 period. Key milestones documented include IonQ's $1.075 billion acquisition of Oxford Ionics, PsiQuantum's $1 billion Series E led by BlackRock and Temasek, Quantinuum's $600 million raise at a $10 billion valuation, and Microsoft's unveiling of its Majorana 1 topological qubit chip. The Executive Summary also presents a high-level Quantum 2.0 Market Map, SWOT analysis, value chain overview, and consolidated market forecasts to 2036.

The main body of the report provides deep technical and commercial analysis across all six Quantum 2.0 technology domains. The quantum computing chapter covers all major qubit hardware architectures - superconducting, trapped ion, silicon spin, topological, photonic, neutral atom, and diamond-defect qubits - with technology descriptions, materials analysis, hardware roadmaps, SWOT analyses, market player profiles, and competitive benchmarking against classical, quantum-inspired, and neuromorphic computing approaches. It also addresses quantum software, cloud-based quantum computing as a service (QCaaS), error correction and fault tolerance, quantum data centres, and end-use applications across pharmaceuticals, chemicals, transportation, and financial services. A dedicated chapter on Quantum Chemistry and Artificial Intelligence examines the convergence of quantum simulation with AI-driven materials discovery and drug design.

Quantum machine learning and quantum simulation each receive standalone chapters covering their technical foundations, algorithmic approaches, phase evolution, application landscapes, and market forecasts to 2036. The quantum communications chapter is particularly extensive, addressing quantum random number generation (QRNG), quantum key distribution (QKD) across fibre, free-space, and satellite modalities, post-quantum cryptography following the NIST 2024 standardisation outcomes, quantum networks and the quantum internet, quantum teleportation, and quantum memory. Quantum sensing covers the full spectrum of sensor types including atomic clocks, magnetometers, gravimeters, gyroscopes, image sensors, quantum radar, quantum RF sensors, and quantum NEMS/MEMS, with per-sensor forecasts by volume, price band, and end-use industry. Quantum batteries - an emerging segment covering quantum-coherence-enhanced energy storage - are also comprehensively examined.

The materials chapter addresses superconductors, silicon photonics, photonic integrated circuits, nanomaterials, and artificial diamond as enabling material platforms, with supply chain analysis and materials market forecasts. A regional analysis chapter covers North America, Europe (including the EU, UK, Germany, France, and Netherlands individually), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Singapore), and the rest of the world. The global market analysis chapter consolidates revenue forecasts across all segments from 2018 to 2046. The report concludes with an extensive company profiles chapter and a comprehensive references section.

Throughout, the report maintains strict methodological rigour, drawing on primary interviews with manufacturers and end users, supplemented by secondary research. Its market forecasts are independently derived and segmented by technology type, end-use industry, and geography, providing a multi-dimensional view of commercial opportunity across the entire Quantum 2.0 value chain.
