Los Alamos National Laboratory to Lead Quantum Science Center Development with $125 Million Funding
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.

The Department of Energy has renewed $125 million funding for the Quantum Science Center over five years, with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) playing key roles. The center aims to advance quantum-accelerated high-performance computing, integrating quantum and classical computing technologies.
LANL will contribute expertise in developing open-source software for quantum-classical workflows and hybrid algorithms. Scientists from LANL will focus on quantum simulation, characterization of materials, and scientific applications of quantum computing. The Quantum Science Center is part of five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers established by the DOE's Office of Science, aiming to create a scientific ecosystem for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
