“It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become dependent on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products and manufacturing, all of which are vital to our national security,” CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement.

The initiative is part of a larger, decade-long, $1.5 trillion plan called the “Security and Resilience Initiative” to finance and invest in industries that J.P. Morgan deems critical to the national and economic security of the United States.

Technology companies are like this Google, MicrosoftAnd Amazon They have shown great interest in gate-model quantum computing, which could potentially solve problems that are too complex for standard computers.

Rigetti and IONQ quantum computers are accessible through Amazon Braket, a quantum computing service managed by Amazon Web Services.

In February, Microsoft introduced its first quantum computing chip called Majorana 1, and Google announced its new breakthrough quantum chip called Willow late last year.
