Drawing a parallel to how semiconductor manufacturing migrated to Asia after American invention, she calls for government purchasing commitments — from the Department of Energy and Department of Commerce — to create early demand for quantum hardware. She also emphasizes that securing specialized supply chains (cryogenic systems, advanced materials, rare earth elements) through allied coordination is essential for the US to retain the quantum industry it pioneered. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
