There's been speculation about acquisition activity in the quantum sector with rumors about Raaq and potential interest in IQM. The thesis would be if you can't build quantum you buy it. IQM is photonic quantum company with real technology. Raaq is supposedly quantum-adjacent. Acquisition makes sense from corporate strategy perspective. Buying quantum capability beats waiting to develop it internally. But valuations are inflated and integration is messy. A company buying quantum probably overpays. Integrating quantum into existing business is hard. Cultural clash between quantum researchers and product teams. Still the acquisition strategy makes sense given quantum timelines. Building from scratch takes decade. Buying compressed timeline to maybe five years.

If you're a big tech company and you believe quantum matters you buy quantum companies. Organic development is too slow

IQM valuation is probably inflated for acquisition. Sellers price in quantum hype. Buyers overpay and regret it later

Raaq acquisition makes sense if Raaq is positioned as quantum infrastructure. That's more defensible than buying pure quantum software
