U.S. Lawmakers Reportedly Pushing Higher Defense Spending on Quantum as China Race Intensifies

Insider Brief

U.S. lawmakers are reportedly seeking a 68% increase in annual military quantum spending to $567 million as competition with China intensifies.

The congressional push builds on more than $2 billion in planned Trump administration investments and new federal measures supporting quantum development and post-quantum cybersecurity.

Rising government support comes as quantum companies seek to move technology toward practical deployment despite investor concerns about near-term commercial returns.
