The topic of quantum computing has been hot this year, as shares of smaller, pure-play companies have rallied on hopes that the technology is nearing a breakthrough moment.

The expansion agreement is valued at tens of billions of dollars and will bring over one gigawatt of computing capacity online in 2026.
