D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services as well as the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, has announced support for new Congressional legislation. According to the announcement, the company applauds National Quantum Initiative (“NQI”) legislation that includes all quantum computing systems and focuses on near-term application development. In addition, D-Wave CEO Dr. Alan Baratz met with members of Congress earlier this year, urging their support to reauthorize the NQI and ensure that the legislation is expanded to encompass all quantum-computing technologies, including annealing, gate model and quantum-hybrid. The new legislation is designed to expand the NQI and pushes for additional commercialization efforts while also supporting industry engagement within U.S. quantum programs, a dedicated near-term quantum application development program, and an overarching inclusion of all quantum computing systems and quantum-hybrid technologies.
The announcement called the NQI “watershed legislation” that serves as the public sector roadmap for establishing the path forward for the U.S. quantum industry. The legislation is designed to assist in determining how the federal government can use quantum technology to provide solutions to a variety of challenges impacting individuals, communities and the economy. The previous act expired on Sept. 30, 2023.
“We commend the House Science Committee for introducing NQI legislation that is inclusive of all quantum technologies, including quantum annealing and quantum-hybrid technologies,” said D-Wave Quantum CEO Dr. Alan Baratz in the press release. “Reauthorizing and expanding the NQI will strengthen U.S. quantum programs and move the U.S. closer to global leaders like Japan, the U.K., Australia and Germany, which are already heavily investing in near and long-term quantum technology and supporting commercialization efforts. Congress must act quickly to ensure that U.S. programs remain competitive to global counterparts.”
