QED-C Member Needs Assessment: Prototyping, Testing, and Manufacturing Facilities |
This assessment from QED-C will help quantify industry demand for quantum prototyping, testing, and manufacturing facilities such as national lab user facilities, shared testbeds, pilot manufacturing lines, and foundries. It will also help identify gaps in current infrastructure and inform future federal investment priorities. The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. Your perspective is essential to understanding how existing infrastructure supports quantum technology development and where new capabilities may be needed. QED-C welcomes responses through May 15, 2026.
