“When it comes to quantum computing, we are
in mile one of a marathon. No single entity can deliver a quantum
computer alone. We must partner with our government agencies,
academia and other companies to further research and development
and develop a quantum workforce. This technology will change the
life of everyone on this planet, and we applaud the White House for
pulling together this summit to advance American leadership in
quantum computing.”– Dr. Jim Clarke, Intel’s director of quantum
hardware
Why Now: The Summit coincides with the National Quantum
Initiative Act, which is moving through Congress. The bill would
authorize $1.3 billion in funding on quantum information sciences
through 2023. The bill has bipartisan support. It passed the House
of Representatives on Sept. 13, and is expected to be approved by
the Senate.
Why it Matters: Quantum computing holds the promise to
exponentially speed up certain algorithms compared with classical
computers. If fully realized, quantum computers will have a
profound impact on chemistry, medicine, finance, machine learning,
artificial intelligence and more.
Quantum technology is in the early stages of development, and
will need support from the government, industry and academia. The
National Quantum Act will facilitate basic research and technology
development. Intel sees opportunities with multiple government
agencies to accelerate our internal programs, develop a workforce
for computing’s next generation and deliver an important technology
for the United States.
