Insider Brief Press release – 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 distances to sensors that can measure faint properties inside a single cell. The teams will collectively receive $20 million from NSF and join four others that […]
The US National Science Foundation is actively investing in quantum computing R&D to maintain technological leadership amidst global competition.
This investment boosts the national quantum ecosystem, accelerates quantum technology development, and aims to establish a robust domestic supply chain for future quantum capabilities.
The focused funding and team formation under the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory will lead to more coordinated and accelerated development of various quantum technologies, from networking to sensing.
- · US quantum research institutions
- · Quantum technology sector
- · National Science Foundation
- · US government
- · Nations without significant quantum R&D investments
- · Traditional computing infrastructure (in the long term)
These teams will develop new quantum prototypes and research breakthroughs in quantum computing and related fields.
Successful prototypes could lead to practical applications in secure communication, advanced sensing, and complex computation, enhancing national security and economic competitiveness.
The establishment of a dominant quantum technology sector in the US could reshape geopolitical power balances and industrial leadership in the latter half of the 21st century.
