The Trump administration is reportedly in talks with US quantum computing companies, including IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave, to take ownership stakes in exchange for federal funding.

This move follows earlier agreements with Intel and MP Materials, where the US government acquired stakes in exchange for grants.
