For the first time, the U.S. government will take a direct equity stake in a publicly traded quantum computing company. D-Wave Quantum has signed a non-binding letter of intent with the Department of Commerce for $100 million in funding under the CHIPS and Science Act — except this isn’t a conventional grant.

Imagine a nation so small, so remote, it sees fewer tourists in a year than some Sydney beaches see in a single summer’s day. Now, picture that entire country, a vibrant tapestry of coral atolls and Polynesian culture, vanishing beneath the waves within our lifetime.
