DOE Advances Quantum Computing Program with New Funding Opportunities
The Department of Energy's Quantum Genesis initiative aims for a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2028. This effort opens significant procurement opportunities in quantum technologies, including hardware, software, and research support services, as the National Quantum Initiative reauthorization sets the stage for coordinated national development in this innovative field.
Key Signals
- DOE invests in Quantum Genesis to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2028
- National Quantum Initiative reauthorization expected to streamline funding and procurement
- Upcoming solicitations anticipated for quantum hardware and research support services
"Companies should distinguish clearly among what has been demonstrated, what has been modeled and what remains on the roadmap. Government programs should require transparent milestones and independent testing."
The Department of Energy (DOE) is making significant strides in the field of quantum computing with the launch of its Quantum Genesis program. This initiative is designed to create a scientifically useful fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2028, highlighting the federal commitment to advancing quantum technology as part of its broader innovation strategy. The Quantum Genesis program consists of three key components: a
