Dan Ives Called IBM ‘Sleeping Giant:’ Quantum Bet Proves Him - IBM (NYSE:IBM)

The project includes a $1 billion CHIPS Act commitment and a $1 billion IBM investment to expand domestic quantum wafer manufacturing.

  • On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a letter of intent to build a 300mm quantum chip foundry in Albany. The facility will receive $1 billion in federal CHIPS research funding, matched by $1 billion from IBM.
  • Anderon, a new company created to operate the foundry, aims to scale quantum computing from limited lab research to industrial manufacturing. The foundry model standardizes production, moving beyond isolated research environments.
  • Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer cited quantum technologies generating up to $850 billion in value by 2030. The investment supports workforce development at the University at Albany and regional research partners.
  • IBM has already deployed more than 90 quantum systems globally and is working toward delivering a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. The company built an ecosystem of more than 325 partners across industry, academia, and government.
  • This project joins a wave of CHIPS-funded initiatives across New York, including GlobalFoundries' second fab and Micron's memory project. These efforts establish the United States as a leader in advanced semiconductor research and development, strengthening national security.
