Tech companies pushed for increased federal investment in manufacturing the hardware necessary for quantum computing at a White House summit Tuesday.

The funding will set up three new National Lab testbeds and help to establish nationwide quantum internet.

Winners will research quantum information science and chemical reactions with clean energy applications.

The recommendations entail increasing collaboration among agencies to improve research results and avoid duplication.

Current projects undertaken by government tend to focus on esoteric fields and theories, rather than pressing issues like infrastructure and climate change.

The proposed sum would come alongside extra funding for research included in the American Jobs Plan.
