The global quantum computing race is on, fueled by significant government funding worldwide. Nations like the US have allocated $1.8 billion under the National Quantum Initiative [1], while China is investing a massive $10 billion in its quantum information sciences lab [1]. This unprecedented public investment demands rigorous tracking: we need to see clear deliverables and actual technological advancements from these projects. It is crucial to monitor how these billions translate into tangible progress and hold all involved accountable, ensuring public funds truly advance this critical frontier, not just promises.
