House Lawmakers Urge US Development on Quantum Computing

The country that first develops practical quantum computing “will have a tremendous advantage over its foreign peers,” House Digital Commerce Subcommittee Chairman Bob Latta, R-Ohio, said Friday during a hearing. Ranking member Frank Pallone, D-N.J., said China plans to build a $10 billion national lab by 2020, and the EU plans to invest 2 billion euros (about $2.35 billion) over the next decade.
