GlobalFoundries Launches Specialized Business Unit to Expand Onshore Quantum Hardware Manufacturing
GlobalFoundries (GF) has established a new business division, Quantum Technology Solutions, to scale commercial fabrication capabilities for the quantum computing industry. The unit enters the market with active customer engagements and a pipeline of quantum hardware developers preparing to scale production. In conjunction with this launch, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a letter of [...] The post GlobalFoundries Launches Specialized Business Unit to Expand Onshore Quantum Hardware Manufacturing appeared first on Quantum Computing Report .
The US government, through the Department of Commerce, is actively pushing for onshore manufacturing capabilities, particularly in advanced technology sectors like quantum computing, to strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign fabs.
This move by GlobalFoundries signifies a concrete step towards commercializing quantum hardware production, potentially accelerating the development and deployment of quantum technologies and fostering a domestic quantum industrial base.
The establishment of a dedicated business unit and government support indicates a material shift from pure R&D to dedicated large-scale manufacturing efforts for quantum hardware within the US.
