# The Quantum Compiler Problem DARPA Thinks Will Determine Which Hardware Wins - Date: 2026-04-21 - Category: Quantum Computing DARPA thinks the next quantum breakthrough will not come from better qubits but from better compilers. The agency awarded Infleqtion $2 million to build a tool routing programs across different hardware types, betting the compilation layer decides which machine wins, just as CUDA did for CPUs and... ---
