- The U.S. Department of Energy launched the Quantum Genesis initiative to develop the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer for research by 2028.
- The initiative is part of the broader Genesis Mission and aligns with President Trump's executive order on quantum innovation.
- Three main priorities: the DOE Q Competition to demonstrate quantum systems with logical qubits by 2028, a National Quantum Supercomputing User Facility for multi-modal quantum access, and focused R&D for quantum applications.
- The effort aims to integrate quantum computing with AI and high-performance computing to strengthen U.S. leadership in science and technology.
- Quantum Genesis builds on previous DOE investments in quantum information science, including the National Quantum Information Science Research Centers.
