New Mexico state leaders are advocating for increased investments to attract high-tech industries, particularly in quantum technology, to bolster national defense. They emphasize New Mexico's potential to lead in the quantum sector, which could be worth trillions.

Cabinet secretaries presented a three-year plan costing $1.2 million to enhance the quantum industry through tax credits, grants, and research funding. Currently, there is no specific legislation for quantum tech funding, though the University of New Mexico has requested resources for quantum research.
