"Agency officials confirmed on Tuesday that $625 million in federal funding will be allocated to revitalize the five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers. The centers will focus on expanding different forms of quantum information technology research and development and individually work to advance quantum technology applications. The hubs are all headquartered within larger national laboratory complexes: the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage at Brookhaven National Lab; the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center at Femi National Accelerator Laboratory; Q-NEXT at Argonne National Laboratory;"
""President Trump positioned America to lead the world in quantum science and technology and today, a new frontier of scientific discovery lies before us. Breakthroughs in QIS have the potential to revolutionize the ways we sense, communicate, and compute, sparking entirely new technologies and industries," Energy Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil said in a press release. "The renewal of DOE's National Quantum Information Science Research Centers will empower America to secure our advantage in pioneering the next generation of scientific and engineering advancements needed for this technology.""
The Department of Energy will provide $625 million in federal funding over up to five years to revitalize five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers. Each center will pursue different aspects of quantum information science and technology to accelerate research, development, and applications. The centers are based at major national laboratory complexes, including Brookhaven, Fermi, Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley, and Oak Ridge. The awards were selected through a competitive peer review process under the DOE National Laboratory Program Announcement. The National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018 expired in 2023.
