US EditionEnergy Department Announces $625M for Quantum Research Centers
The $625 million renewal funds five DOE Quantum Information Science Centers advancing disruptive quantum computing and sensing technologies, supporting workforce and industry partnerships.
- November 4, 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy announced $625 million to renew five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers, including the Fermilab-led Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems center.
- Congress authorized the centers under the National Quantum Initiative Act signed in December 2018, and DOE's January 2020 investment established these multidisciplinary quantum centers.
- The centers support research across quantum computing, simulation, networking and sensing and build community resources, workforce opportunities and industry partnerships, DOE said.
- Renewal comes as federal science funding is under strain, with some agencies facing cuts and the National Science Foundation pulling support from at least one AI institute.
- DOE said the renewal advances a directive to restore American leadership as breakthroughs in quantum sensing, communication and computing could spark new technologies and industries.
