Which quantum-computing companies the U.S. government is actually backing. This tracks cumulative federal contract, grant, and R&D-assistance awards to all 12 pure-play quantum stocks, sourced from USAspending.gov — a signal of which programs have won real national-security and research dollars. Awards count only when the recipient of record is the company itself, and every individual award below links to its official USAspending.gov record so you can verify the data yourself. CHIPS Act direct assistance is excluded until formally obligated.
