Maybe more than you think.
In 2018, the National Quantum Initiative Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on December 21. The law gives the United States a plan for advancing quantum technology, particularly quantum computing. The U.S. has made a $1.2B initial investment in quantum over the next several years [https://www.quantum.gov/]
But we are not alone. Other countries have invested in quantum over the next serval years: China $10B, Germany $2.1B, UK $1.2B, Canada $360M, Japan $270M, Australia $111M.
U.S. States are also investing in quantum technology, education, and workforce development. Illinois invested $500M, Colorado invested $74M, South Dakota invested $6M, and South Carolina is in the game with a $15M investment.
In 2018, the North Carolina State Quantum Hub at North Carolina State University emerged as one of the leading university centers of expertise in the US. IBM designated North Carolina State’s Centennial Campus as its first university-based quantum hub in North America.
In January 2020, the US Department of Energy announced that $625m of the earmarked budget would be used over the next five years to create five new quantum information research hubs, including locations in Chicago, New York, Berkeley and Tennessee.
As of late 2023, the 11 top research institutions included IBM, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard, Max Planck Society, University of Chicago, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of California, Berkeley, University of Maryland, Princeton, Google Quantum Computer Research, University of Tokyo.
Additionally, the following institutions have already made considerable commitments to quantum:
+ University of Science and Technology of China,
+ University of Washington
+ University of Oxford
+ Duke University
+ National Institute of Standards & Technology
+ Stanford
+ California Institute of Technology
