US media: The United States has not negotiated a stake in Quantum
according to sources cited by Yahoo Finance, the report in The Wall Street Journal about the government negotiating to invest in quantum computing companies does not align with the actual considerations of the Trump administration. The newspaper claimed on Thursday that companies such as IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum are in discussions with the Department of Commerce to exchange equity for federal funds, while companies like Quantum Computing and Atom Computing are also considering similar arrangements. Sources revealed that although these companies have reached out to the White House proactively and the government has received numerous proposals for equity financing, Trump insists on being responsible with taxpayer funds, and any investment will utilize the remaining funds promised by the Trump administration's restructuring of the Biden version of the "chip bill." The current evaluation of the plan may involve stock options or loans, and may not necessarily be limited to the companies mentioned in the report.
