The Department of Energy has awarded $125 million over five years to support the Quantum Science Center, led by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The center's mission is to enhance quantum-accelerated high-performance computing by integrating quantum and classical technologies, with LANL focusing on open-source software development and scientific applications of quantum computing. This initiative is part of the DOE's broader effort to establish a scientific ecosystem for fault-tolerant quantum computing through five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers.
