美國商務部於 5 月 21 日宣布,已與 IBM、格羅方德(GlobalFoundries)等 9 家量子計算業者簽署意向書,計畫依據 2022 年《晶片與科學法案》(CHIPS and Science Act)發放總額達 20.13 億美元的補助,藉此鞏固美國在次世代科技領域的領導地位。
作為交換,美國政府將取得各受資助企業的少數非控制性股權,顯示川普(Donald Trump)政府重塑晶片法案、強調財政投資回報的策略。IBM 週四盤中股價狂飆 12%,創下一年多來最大單日漲幅,其餘量子計算概念股亦全面暴漲。
AI Overview
Breakdown of the Initiative
- Award Amount: $1 billion (part of a broader $2 billion federal push across nine quantum-computing firms).
- Project Name: Anderon (a new standalone quantum wafer foundry).
- Location: Albany, New York.
- Primary Goal: Accelerating the manufacturing of advanced quantum processors, scaling domestic hardware production, and securing global leadership in advanced computing. [1, 2, 3]
Broader CHIPS Act Quantum Funding
IBM was the largest beneficiary in a broader Commerce Department package. Smaller quantum-computing firms also received grants, including GlobalFoundries ($375 million), along with D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and Infleqtion (about $100 million each). As a condition of these awards, the U.S. government takes non-controlling equity stakes in the companies to ensure taxpayers benefit from industry growth. [1, 2, 3]
