IBM shares surged more than 6 percent in Thursday trading after the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a $2 billion federal investment in nine quantum computing companies.
IBM will build America's first purpose-built quantum chip manufacturing facility with $2 billion funding.
KEY POINTS
- The US government is taking equity stakes in all nine recipient quantum computing companies for the first time.
- Quantum chip manufacturing infrastructure currently does not exist in the US; IBM’s facility addresses this gap.
- D-Wave, Rigetti, Infleqtion, and GlobalFoundries received significant but much smaller awards compared to IBM.
