DOE Launches “Quantum Genesis” Initiative

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced Quantum Genesis, an ambitious initiative to build and deploy the world’s first scientifically relevant, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2028.

Operating under the broader AI and supercomputing-focused Genesis Mission, the program aims to integrate advanced quantum processors directly with the nation’s leading supercomputing ecosystems. The initiative directly follows a pair of quantum-focused Executive Orders, including Ushering the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation, which mandate accelerated American leadership in quantum information science (QIS) and establish the Quantum Computer for Application Development and Discovery Science (QC-ADDS) effort. In May, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a formal Request for Information (RFI) to identify companies capable of deploying a scientifically relevant Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing (FTQC) system by 2028. The inputs received from this RFI will support the overarching principles of the QC-ADDS initiative.
