The U.S. Department of Energy has launched the Quantum Genesis Q Competition, with up to $215 million in planned funding to accelerate development of the world’s first fault-tolerant, scientifically relevant quantum computers.
Understanding and wielding the quantum properties of nature is the ambitious objective of eight research institutes that will collectively receive more than $290 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation. The investment is an expansion of the NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes program, which NSF created in 2020 as part of the agency’s strategy to fulfill the 2018 “National Quantum Initiative Act.”
The White House Summit on American Quantum Innovation convened senior U.S. government officials, leaders from quantum companies, and other key stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the American quantum ecosystem. https://www.quantum.gov/White-House-Summit-on-American-Quantum-Innovation/
The U.S. National Science Foundation unveiled Project Triad, a pioneering initiative that seeks to integrate quantum sensing, quantum networking, and quantum computing int a single operational system. This project is built on three programs: NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory, NSF X-Labs, and NSF Quantum+X. Project Triad draws on NSF’s rigorous…
The U.S. National Science Foundation has selected five new teams to design experimental quantum technologies. The teams will receive $20 million from NSF, and the projects will help build scientific testing and evaluation capabilities to integrate three broad areas of quantum science and technology, sensors, networks and computers, in a unified…
The U.S. Department of War’s Defense Innovation Unit announced a new multi-phase initiative that is expected to invest up to $200M within the next year to transition mature quantum sensing and timing technologies to the Joint Force. This aims to overcome the limitations of traditional sensors by leveraging quantum sensing…
The U.S. Department of Energy launched the new Quantum Genesis initiative, which aims to develop and deploy the world’s first fault-tolerant, scientifically relevant quantum computer for research and development by 2028. The Department of Energy has sought community input through a Request for Information on Scientifically Relevant Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing…
President Donald Trump signed a historic executive order on accelerating American quantum innovation. This order directs federal agencies to update the National Quantum Strategy, written under the first Trump Administration. It directs the government to work with industry and academia to fulfill ambitious technical milestones, including developing a quantum computer…
The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced the signing of nine letters of intent to provide $2.013 billion in federal incentives that will support a portfolio of American quantum companies. These incentives support two domestic quantum foundry companies and seven quantum computing companies. This action is designed to strengthen the…
The U.S. National Science Foundation announced $1.5 billion over the next decade to the NSF X-Labs initiative. The NSF X-Labs are independent teams of researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs that work on solving specific scientific challenges with milestone-based federal funding. The first round of funding invites proposals on scientific instrumentation for…
