Despite shifts in National Science Foundation (NSF) funding, the United States is seeing significant expansion in quantum networking infrastructure. New initiatives like the NSF's $1.5 billion X-Labs program, alongside regional testbeds in Chicago, Berkeley, Florida, and New Mexico, are fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and government. These expanding networks serve as crucial on-ramps for the quantum internet, providing practical environments for startups and researchers to test and scale quantum technologies, thereby addressing a key bottleneck in talent development and commercialization.
