Quantum computing’s name continued to rise on Monday after JPMorgan Chase & Co. announced it as one of the areas it will invest in as part of a new initiative.
In a release, the bank said it will invest up to $10 billion in companies across four sectors: supply chain and advanced manufacturing, defense and aerospace, energy technology, and frontier and strategic technologies, including quantum computing.

“It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become overly dependent on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products, and manufactured goods essential to our national security,” CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement.

Quantum computing, one of the bank’s 27 designated sub-areas of focus, has seen triple-digit growth in the past month. Righetti and D-Wave rose 175% and 130%, respectively.

Rigetti and IONQ quantum computers are accessible through Amazon Braket, a quantum computing service managed by Amazon Web Services.
In February, Microsoft announced its first quantum computing chip, called Majorana 1, and late last year, Google announced a new breakthrough quantum chip called Willow.
