The performance-based award will fund hardware and software testing, system architecture evaluation, and infrastructure investments at PsiQuantum's Milpitas, CA and Chicago, IL facilities. This follows a $31.8 million Stage C agreement in September 2025 and a proposed $100 million CHIPS and Science Act incentive from the U.S. Department of Commerce. DARPA's QBI managing director noted it now seems likely someone will build a utility-scale quantum computer by 2033. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
