D-Wave has secured over $25M in DoD funding to refine materials and fabrication methods for scalable superconducting qubits, directly addressing the critical gap between research and manufacturing. This investment underscores the strategic push to strengthen domestic semiconductor supply chains while advancing both commercial viability and national security applications. The milestone validates the SQFab project's progress in component design and characterization, positioning D-Wave to expand its capabilities in superconducting quantum hardware.
$25M+ Fuels D-Wave’s Push for Scalable Superconducting Qubits
D-Wave secured $25M+ in funding to advance fabrication of components for improved materials used in quantum computing, specifically for scalable.
More than $25 million in second-year funding has been awarded to D-Wave’s SQFab project, supporting efforts to advance scalable superconducting qubit fabrication and U.S. microelectronics. The funding, provided through the U.S. Department of Defense’s Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub and the U.S. Microelectronics Commons program, will be directed to D-Wave subsidiary Quantum Circuits, LLC, after the achievement of key first-year benchmarks. “This award reflects the growing recognition that quantum computing will play an important role in…
