Briefings

Policy analysts at the Foundation for American Innovation warn that U.S. quantum ambitions may outpace domestic supply chains, citing limited federal funding (less than 12%) and fragmented coordination as key obstacles. Recommendations include advance purchase commitments, targeted manufacturing investments, and clearer federal plans to buy quantum systems. The analysis highlights risks from AI infrastructure demand and government budget unpredictability, with a roundtable co-hosted by FAI and Playground Global.

Key points

• Policy analysts recommend advance purchase commitments and targeted manufacturing investments to secure domestic quantum supply chains.
• Less than 12% of federal quantum funding currently supports the supporting layer of suppliers needed for quantum computing components.

Context

A policy piece published by the Foundation for American Innovation analyzes how limited domestic investment and coordination could hinder U.S. quantum leadership. The roundtable involved industry, government, and civil society participants, with findings based on a roundtable co-hosted by FAI and Playground Global.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to a policy analysis and roundtable discussion; specific supplier lists, exact funding amounts, and long-term forecasts remain uncertain.
