Infleqtion Secures Three DOE Genesis Projects

Infleqtion received three U.S. Department of Energy Genesis Mission projects with collaborators including Argonne, Brookhaven, Lawrence Livermore, and the University of Colorado Boulder to advance AI-optimized quantum circuit design for nuclear applications, deployable atomic quantum sensing with Agentic AI, and nuclear fusion energy research, signaling a broader push to merge quantum computing with AI and HPC. The move is part of a DOE-led effort to build a quantum-centric science platform, with IBM committing $50 million in quantum compute access and ORNL installing a 20-qubit Pathfinder on-site to integrate quantum hardware with existing supercomputing resources.

Microsoft investment supports DOE Genesis Mission

Microsoft is committing $60 million to the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission to accelerate AI-enabled scientific research across 17 national laboratories, funding $40 million in Azure compute and AI credits and $20 million for engineering enablement, while launching SPARK to coordinate efforts between Microsoft and DOE. The Genesis Mission, launched by President Trump in 2025 as part of a broader federal push to create an AI Discovery Platform that doubles US research productivity within a decade, has drawn participation from major tech giants and is designed to integrate AI, data, and computing across federal labs.
