Title of the post is misleading: The newly-funded centers will address three different topics in the field of Quantum Information Science (QIS).
Quantum computing (the integer-factoring kind) is the focus of only the UC Berkeley-led consortium. This effort accounts for 1/3 of the announced funding.
The other two centers will work on Quantum networking (UIUC) and Quantum sensing (U Colorado).
