America's Oak Ridge National Laboratory will receive up to $125 million through 2030 to develop hybrid computing systems that link quantum and supercomputing technologies.

The federally funded research center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, has secured planned funding from the Department of Energy (DoE) over five years to research hybrid computing architectures that meld quantum computers with classical high-performance computing (HPC) systems.

Strictly speaking, the funding is for the Quantum Science Center (QSC), headquartered at Oak Ridge, which will coordinate efforts with other national labs, universities, and industry partners.

The research will focus on five areas: the design of quantum-accelerated high-performance computing (QHPC) architectures, developing an open software system for t
