The Trump administration is taking action to acquire stakes in some important companies. According to insiders, several quantum computing companies such as IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum are negotiating with the U.S. Department of Commerce to exchange equity for federal funding support. Other companies like Quantum Computing and Atom Computing are also considering similar arrangements. These companies are discussing a minimum funding amount of $10 million per company from Washington. It is expected that other technology companies will also compete for this funding. This indicates that the Trump administration is increasing its intervention in quantum computing, which is seen as a key economic field. Trump and Lutnick said that since taxpayers' money provides financial support and official endorsement for companies, the government should share in the profits of the companies' growth.
