Anderon's $2 billion investment marks a critical step toward scaling superconducting qubit production by establishing a dedicated 300mm foundry for quantum hardware. This move directly addresses supply chain bottlenecks and enables the transition from research prototypes to fault-tolerant quantum computing systems through domestic manufacturing.
Anderon Finalizes $1 Billion CHIPS Act Award to Scale 300mm Pure-Play Quantum Wafer Foundry

Anderon LLC, an IBM subsidiary, secured $1 billion in CHIPS Act funding, supplemented by another $1 billion from IBM, to expand its 300mm pure-play quantum wafer fabrication facility at Albany NanoTech. This investment aims to scale production of superconducting qubit arrays and other quantum components, addressing QPU scaling bottlenecks and strengthening domestic microelectronics supply chains. The facility will serve as an open commercial foundry for the global quantum hardware ecosystem.
