White House Quantum Summit Details Over $2.2 Billion in Support for 2028 Fault-Tolerant Computing

The White House hosted the Summit on American Quantum Innovation on July 7, 2026, to begin implementing President Trump’s June 22 Executive Orders on quantum technologies. Federal agencies announced significant funding, including over $2 billion in Commerce Department incentives and up to $200 million from the Defense Innovation Unit for quantum sensing. The Department of Energy is tasked with delivering a fault-tolerant, scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028, supported by initiatives from the NSF, NSA, and NIST focused on research, supply chains, and manufacturing. These efforts aim to build a resilient US quantum industrial base through public-private partnerships and workforce development.

DOE Fermilab and Qblox Finalize Agreement to Commercialize QICK Platform

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermilab and Qblox have finalized a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to commercialize the QICK Platform. This open-source quantum control and readout technology, already serving approximately 500 users across labs, universities, and industry, will now see scaled U.S. manufacturing and distribution. Qblox will lead commercialization efforts while also launching dedicated workforce training programs. Fermilab continues to drive scientific advancements in the core platform. The partnership creates a model for moving national lab innovations into commercial products that strengthen the domestic quantum ecosystem.
