Insider Brief
- Infleqtion has secured three U.S. Department of Energy Genesis Mission projects focused on quantum computing, quantum sensing, and AI-driven scientific research.
- The projects involve collaborations with Argonne, Brookhaven, and Lawrence Livermore national laboratories, along with the University of Colorado Boulder, across nuclear, sensing, and fusion energy applications.
- The initiatives aim to explore how quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing can support scientific discovery and energy research.
Press release – Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, announced it has been awarded three projects to accelerate American scientific research and innovation by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the Genesis Mission. The projects include collaborations with Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and University of Colorado Boulder and span AI-optimized quantum circuit design for nuclear applications, deployable atomic quantum sensing with Agentic AI and nuclear fusion energy research.
The Genesis Mission is a historic national initiative led by the U.S. Department of Energy, which is building the world’s most powerful integrated science discovery platform. By uniting government, industry, academia and philanthropy, it is accelerating breakthroughs in energy, scientific discovery and national security through a new platform that combines AI, supercomputing, quantum systems and advanced scientific instruments.
“AI data centers are pulling more power than the grid was ever built to handle, and the industry is recognizing that these types of issues are beyond the capabilities of classical computing alone,” said Matthew Kinsella, CEO at Infleqtion. “By applying quantum computing to some of the hardest problems in nuclear and energy research, Infleqtion is playing a critical role in advancing the objectives of the Genesis Mission.”
The goal of the Phase I RFA awards is to identify promising pathways toward transformative scientific capabilities and establish a foundation for future investment and scale. Project teams will design and demonstrate research workflows that integrate AI with scientific investigation, while rigorously evaluating whether those approaches can accelerate discovery, improve predictive capabilities, enhance experimentation or generate new scientific insights.
Infleqtion’s quantum computing and quantum sensing products address critical market needs in positioning, navigation and timing (PNT), global communication security and efficiency, resilient energy distribution and accelerated quantum computing. The following three Genesis Mission projects have been selected:
- A collaboration between Argonne National Laboratory and Infleqtion to drive AI-optimization of quantum circuit design for realistic nuclear problems.
- A collaboration between Brookhaven National Laboratory and Infleqtion to design and test deployable atomic quantum sensing enabled by Agentic AI.
- A joint initiative between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, University of Colorado Boulder and Infleqtion to simulate nonlinear plasma dynamics using quantum machine learning and agentic AI.
The awards mark another significant milestone for Infleqtion as government investment in quantum technology continues to accelerate. The company recently announced a Letter of Intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce, which outlines a potential investment of up to $100 million to expand U.S. quantum capabilities, and comes amid new executive actions designed to strengthen American leadership in quantum science and technology. Together, these developments signal growing recognition that quantum is becoming a strategic national asset, with Infleqtion helping bridge breakthrough research with deployable commercial and government solutions.
