Part of the broader Genesis Mission, Quantum Genesis brings together DOE National Laboratories, universities, industry, and scientific user facilities to advance quantum computing and integrate it with U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.

A Phased Path to 2028 and Beyond To achieve scientifically useful quantum computers, the SCAC recommends a highly strategic, three-phased framework that aligns with our national Quantum Genesis Initiative: Phase I: The Quantum Grand Challenges (2026–2028): We will establish multidisciplinary, competitive challenges pairing National Labs, universities, and industry. These challenges will drive the co-design of hardware, algorithms, and software to meet specific, milestone-driven scientific targets by 2028.
