Summary
Quantum Genesis will fold AI tools into DOE’s quantum effort, with the department aiming to deploy the world’s first fault-tolerant quantum computing capability by 2028.
DOE says the push is meant to solve a core bottleneck: larger qubit systems are more powerful but also noisier, so AI and high-performance computing would improve control and error correction rather than simply add qubits.
Jennifer Gaudioso of Sandia said recent gains have lengthened the number of operations quantum machines can run before failing, bringing useful quantum programs closer for materials science, drug discovery, optimization and national security work.
The initiative sits inside DOE’s broader Genesis Mission, which seeks to link 17 national laboratories and supercomputers into a unified AI platform and already backs projects using AI agents to automate quantum research.
