Founded in 2021, TuringQ develops photonic quantum chips that operate at room temperature and leverage optical communications manufacturing techniques. The company raised nearly 1 billion yuan in 2026 and is valued at over 7 billion yuan after its Series C round. TuringQ joins Origin Quantum, Ciqtek, and QBoson in China's quantum IPO race, accelerated by the Shanghai Stock Exchange formally recognizing quantum technology as a strategic emerging industry. Analysts caution that while investor interest is strong, the sector remains early-stage with no dominant architecture and commercial adoption still limited to specialized computing services. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is China's IPO tutoring process and how does it differ from a US IPO? China's pre-IPO guidance process, called 'IPO tutoring,' is a mandatory step before filing a formal IPO application on domestic exchanges. A sponsoring securities firm works with the company to strengthen corporate governance, accounting practices, internal controls, and regulatory compliance, while preparing management for public-company obligations. The China Securities Regulatory Commission oversees the process to improve prospective listed company quality, not to determine final IPO eligibility. _Teams navigating cross-border deep-tech investment decisions track regulatory frameworks like this on daily.dev._ ### What are the advantages of photonic quantum computing over superconducting or trapped-ion approaches? Photonic quantum computing uses photons to process quantum information and offers several manufacturing advantages: systems operate at room temperature rather than requiring ultra-cold refrigeration, may scale more easily to larger systems, and can leverage existing optical communications manufacturing techniques. TuringQ's pilot production line in Wuxi demonstrated wafer-scale manufacturing of thin-film lithium niobate photonic chips integrating thousands of optical components per chip. _Developers and engineers following quantum hardware architecture trade-offs find ongoing coverage on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [China’s Bose Quantum Reportedly Raises Pre-IPO Funding](https://daily.dev/posts/china-s-bose-quantum-reportedly-raises-pre-ipo-funding-m83higk7l) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [IQM, Europe’s first public quantum company, admits the future of the tech is uncertain](https://daily.dev/posts/iqm-europe-s-first-public-quantum-company-admits-the-future-of-the-tech-is-uncertain-spc5flf6r) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Quantinuum boosts IPO to $1.46B, targets $14.3B quantum valuation](https://daily.dev/posts/quantinuum-boosts-ipo-to-1-46b-targets-14-3b-quantum-valuation-dqtma6p95) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Taiyi Quantum Raises $42 Million to Advance Neutral-Atom Quantum Computing](https://daily.dev/posts/taiyi-quantum-raises-42-million-to-advance-neutral-atom-quantum-computing-s1u9erlnv) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#quantum-computing](https://daily.dev/tags/quantum-computing), [#ipo](https://daily.dev/tags/ipo) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/turingq-joins-china-s-ipo-pipeline-as-quantum-firms-push-toward-commercialization-f9yhyrtr0) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"TuringQ Joins China’s IPO Pipeline as Quantum Firms Push Toward Commercialization","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/turingq-joins-china-s-ipo-pipeline-as-quantum-firms-push-toward-commercialization-f9yhyrtr0","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/turingq-joins-china-s-ipo-pipeline-as-quantum-firms-push-toward-commercialization-f9yhyrtr0"},"datePublished":"2026-08-07T16:35:01.408Z","dateModified":"2026-08-07T16:35:29.170Z","description":"TuringQ, a Shanghai-based photonic quantum computing company, has entered China's mandatory pre-IPO guidance process with the China Securities Regulatory...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/de6338b7eb876082bea3502e30686410?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/de6338b7eb876082bea3502e30686410?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/turingq-joins-china-s-ipo-pipeline-as-quantum-firms-push-toward-commercialization-f9yhyrtr0","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"quantum-computing,ipo","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"TuringQ Joins China’s IPO Pipeline as Quantum Firms Push Toward Commercialization"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/turingq-joins-china-s-ipo-pipeline-as-quantum-firms-push-toward-commercialization-f9yhyrtr0#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is China's IPO tutoring process and how does it differ from a US IPO?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"China's pre-IPO guidance process, called 'IPO tutoring,' is a mandatory step before filing a formal IPO application on domestic exchanges.
