US chipmaker GF announced on Tuesday that it has finalized a final agreement with the US Department of Commerce's “Chip Act” R&D office to receive US$375 million in R&D funding to accelerate the development trajectory of its quantum technology solutions business. GF's business aims to help expand the scale of semiconductor manufacturing based on quantum computing in the US and consolidate America's position at the forefront of the global “next-generation computing revolution” — that is, an absolute leader in quantum computing technology. At about the same time, the stock price of Rigetti Computing, the new generation of large-scale sub-computing forces in the US, surged nearly 10% during the early trading period, D-Wave Quantum also surged nearly 10%, and Quantinum's stock price rose by more than 5%. Three emerging quantum computing companies also announced on Tuesday that they had signed a final agreement with the US Department of Commerce to obtain 100 million US dollars in funding to accelerate research and development projects to address key technical challenges in the large-scale expansion and development process related to superconducting quantum computers.
