September 2026

  • 13ConferenceIEEE Quantum Week (QCE26), Toronto, Sep 13-18The main vendor floor where UHV suppliers court trapped-ion and atom-array builders; watch for quantum-specific vacuum product launches and supply partnerships announced around the exhibit.
  • 30PolicyNational Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act — House floor vote (H.R. 8462)The bill cleared House Science committee April 29, 2026 and directs Commerce to produce a quantum supply-chain resilience plan plus new NIST quantum centers — the first federal vehicle that names and funds the hardware supply chain behind UHV-dependent qubits.

December 2026

  • 15ProgramDARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative — Stage C downselect decisionsStage B (started Nov 2025) is roughly year-long; Stage C funds utility-scale prototype builds for finalists like IonQ, Quantinuum, QuEra and Atom Computing, converting single-chamber lab UHV procurement into industrial-scale vacuum system orders.
