“‘Quantum’ has not slowed down—there were a lot of research initiatives announced this summer and [our project] is a program to support quantum education,” says Emily Edwards of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, co-principal investigator of Q2Work, a program funded by the US National Science Foundation The US Department of Energy announced this summer that they will provide USD$625 million over five years to fund five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers, including SQMS and Q-NEXT “Quantum has been funded before for computing, Internet, sensors, but has never been pushed to this level of bringing together academia and all the stakeholders,” Grassellino tells MRS Bulletin, referring to the US initiative Since the US government signed the US National Quantum Initiative Act into law at the end of 2018, it has authorized just over USD$1 2 billion for the first five years (starting in fiscal year 2019), spread across the National Institute of Standards and Technology (USD$80 million), the National Science Foundation (NSF) (USD$10 million), and the US Department of Energy (DOE) (USD$25 million) In order to create standardized, characterized high-quality materials for quantum science and technology, Q-NEXT will focus on scaling synthesis and integration of qubits for both semiconducting- and superconducting-based materials for quantum devices and systems
