Quantinuum has secured a $100 million funding agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce, part of the CHIPS Act initiative. This investment is designated for the advancement and production of fault-tolerant quantum computers utilizing ion trap technology.
To bolster the domestic scalability of these technologies, Quantinuum is collaborating with two strategic partners. GlobalFoundries will handle the manufacturing of ion traps and microelectronics using 300-mm silicon wafers, while Monarch Quantum will focus on developing scalable lasers and optics. This project aims to streamline system architectures and enhance the resilience of U.S. supply chains.
