US EditionEnergy Department Announces $625M for Quantum Research Centers
The Department of Energy extends $625 million funding for five centers to support disruptive quantum computing, sensing, and networking research over the next five years.
- The Department of Energy announced a $625 million renewal for five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers on November 4, 2025, including the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center led by Fermilab.
- DOE said the renewal advances President Trump's directive and the National Quantum Initiative Act, signed by Congress in 2018, establishing DOE support for the centers.
- Yale University continues its leadership with Michael Hatridge guiding scalable modular quantum architectures, while researchers work across superconducting systems, neutral atoms and diamond materials.
- The renewal arrives amid turbulent federal research funding, with the centers supporting community resources, workforce opportunities, and industry partnerships despite recent cuts at NSF and EPA.
- Since DOE's 2020 investments, centers led by Brookhaven, Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, and Fermi National Laboratories have established national labs as hubs for quantum information science, which could revolutionize sensing, communication, and computation.
