US Invests in Quantum Computing to Secure National Data

The US government is actively exploring investments in quantum computing companies, citing national security concerns as a driving factor. Officials are aiming to leverage funds allocated through the CHIPS Act to maintain competitiveness against China, according to Bloomberg reports. As part of this strategic move, the government seeks a return on investment through equity stakes in these companies. This follows a similar deal made with Intel in 2025, where the US took a 10% stake in the company.
