- Why BlackRock, Nvidia, and Temasek are betting billions on quantum computing
VC investment in quantum computing reached $3.9 billion in 2025, driven by major players like BlackRock, Nvidia, and Temasek. Companies such as Quantinuum and PsiQuantum secured significant funding, while global governments, including China, have allocated over $60 billion to quantum initiatives. The sector remains speculative, with practical quantum breakthroughs expected by the end of the decade.
- Quantum EOs leave much to be desired
The White House released executive orders on quantum computing emphasizing coordination over major investments or policy changes. President Donald Trump highlighted goals like strengthening the domestic supply chain and delivering a quantum computer to the Department of Energy by 2028, but quantum companies and researchers note the orders lack substantial new funding or operational shifts. The orders are seen as adding credibility to quantum technology, though it remains unproven at scale.
- Google quantum exec: US government funding would’ve come with ‘conditions’
Google declined funding from the Trump administration for quantum computing due to restrictive conditions, according to Google Quantum AI’s COO. The US government has allocated $2 billion to support quantum companies like IBM and PsiQuantum. Google advocates for increased government investment in basic quantum research and faces recruitment challenges amid tightened immigration policies.
