US backs Anderon, GF quantum foundries as Intel targets QPUs with 18A process
What happened
The US Department of Commerce is leveraging federal funding and policy initiatives to bolster America's global competitiveness in quantum technology. Its core strategy centers on consolidating fragmented industry demand by backing shared manufacturing platforms through public subsidies and government equity stakes. The Trump administration maintains that developing the domestic quantum sector requires more than just algorithms, chip design, and system-level R&D—it also demands dedicated manufacturing infrastructure capable of serving diverse market players. As stated in the title, the US backs Anderon and GF quantum foundries, while Intel targets QPUs with the 18A process.
