Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — PsiQuantum announced today that the company has signed a Letter of Intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for $100 million in proposed federal incentives under the CHIPS and Science Act to advance American quantum computing and semiconductor leadership. With these potential incentives, combined with co-investment by the company, PsiQuantum […]
The U.S. is proactively investing in quantum computing leadership through the CHIPS and Science Act to counter geopolitical competition and secure future technological advantage.
This substantial federal incentive signals a serious commitment by the U.S. government to domestic quantum computing and semiconductor advancement, accelerating the timeline for practical quantum applications.
The U.S. government is now a direct financial backer in the development of a specific quantum computing company, moving beyond general research grants to targeted industrial policy.
