DOE Unveils Quantum Genesis Push to Accelerate Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

Insider Brief

The U.S. Department of Energy launched the Quantum Genesis initiative to develop and deploy a fault-tolerant, scientifically relevant quantum computing capability for research and development by 2028.

The effort supports President Trump’s quantum executive order and includes the QC-ADDS effort to advance quantum computers powerful enough for scientific research.

Quantum Genesis includes a DOE Q Competition, a National Quantum Supercomputing User Facility and focused R&D on quantum applications in areas such as chemistry, materials science, plasma physics and high-energy physics.

PRESS RELEASE — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the establishment of the ambitious new Quantum Genesis initiative to develop and deploy the world’s first fault-tolerant, scientifically relevant quantum computing capability for research and development by 2028. The Quantum Genesis effort will serve as a foundational element of the broader Genesis Mission, designed to usher in a new era of computational power for the nation to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation.
