D.O.E. Announces $625 Million to Advance Quantum Information Science Research Centers
Posted by Josh Wickler, Vice President of R&D on Nov 5th, 2025
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $625 million in funding to renew its five National Quantum Information Science (QIS) Research Centers,
Magnetic Shield Corporation aims to support the advancement of quantum computing by helping engineers at the National Quantum Information Science (QIS) Research Centers. We can do FEA, design, fabrication, and testing of MuMETAL warm magnetic shields for dilution fridges as well as local shields made from our Cryo-NETIC alloy, which operates at millikelvin temperatures below the Mixing Chamber (MXC) plate.
Centers and current customers of Magnetic Shield Coporation include:
- Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA) – Brookhaven National Laboratory will advance quantum computing and sensing by improving materials used in superconducting and plasma-grown, diamond-based quantum devices and developing modular approaches for superconducting and neutral-atom systems.
- Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center (SQMS) – Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will scale quantum devices based on superconducting microwave cavities, developing new methods of refrigeration and technologies for connecting many quantum processors to lay the groundwork for quantum data centers.
- Q-NEXT– Argonne National Laboratory will advance algorithms and chip components to scale quantum operations on the same chip and across different labs and cities, preserving entanglement and prototyping next-generation quantum sensors.
- Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) – Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will enable large-scale quantum computers through improved error correction using neutral atom, ion, and superconducting circuits to tackle DOE grand challenges in fundamental physics, chemistry, and emergent quantum phenomena.
- Quantum Science Center (QSC) – Oak Ridge National Laboratory will pioneer quantum-accelerated high-performance computing, developing open-source software for quantum-classical workflows that accelerate scientific advancements across multiple disciplines.
