NSF Selects 5 Additional Teams in National Quantum Virtual Laboratory Design Competition
The teams join four others selected in 2025 for a total of nine projects focused on designing a unified national resource for quantum science and technology development June 24, 2026 — The U.S. National Science Foundation has selected five new teams to design experimental quantum technologies, from networks that can ferry fragile quantum information across long […] The post NSF Selects 5 Additional Teams in National Quantum Virtual Laboratory Design Competition appeared first on HPCwire .
The US National Science Foundation is actively competing to establish leadership in quantum computing and related technologies to ensure national security and economic advantage.
Development of quantum information systems could lead to breakthroughs in computing, sensing, and networking, creating a new technological frontier with significant geopolitical and economic implications.
The expansion of the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory indicates an accelerating, organized, and government-backed effort by the US to consolidate and accelerate quantum research and development.
- · US Quantum Research Institutions
- · Quantum Technology Developers
- · US Government
- · National Laboratories
- · Nations without significant quantum R&D programs
- · Traditional computing paradigms (long-term)
Increased funding and collaboration will accelerate the development of practical quantum technologies.
Early successes could lead to increased private investment and a 'quantum race' among global powers.
The establishment of a unified quantum infrastructure could lead to significant shifts in national security capabilities and economic competitiveness in the coming decades.
